Several years ago a minister friend of mine was slightly obese and his wife was a little on the chubby side too. He told me that they decided to go on a starvation diet. (That's one where you can only eat the things you don't like.)
My friend said they had been doing well at dieting when someone brought them a pie, their favorite kind of pie. He said his wife put the pie in the refrigerator for their children to eat.
Late that night the minister said his wife decided to vacuum the living room carpet. She thought her husband was in bed and he, thinking his wife was in bed sneaked into the kitchen.
When the minister's wife walked to the area of the living room nearest the kitchen to start vacuuming she noticed the refrigerator door standing open. Thinking that one of the children had failed to close it, she walked over to close it. But before she got to the door she noticed two big feet underneath the door.
As the minister's wife peeked over the door she saw her kneeling husband sheepishly looking up at her with the pie in his hands.
He said that after they stopped laughing they had a pie eating contest.
As told by Rev. C.E. George
