Top 10 signs that your pastor may be long winded

10 You go to church hoping to get home before kickoff. You leave hoping to make it home by halftime.

9.Waitress from chicken house calls. Wants to know if everything's okay.

8.Airport calls, says the snoring of congregation is too loud.

7.You go on a two day fast before you go to church. It's half over before you leave.

6.Instead of tithes, ushers are collecting rent.

5.Says morning message is only 60 minutes which actually means what will be on TV when message is over.

4.When he says he may be taking too much time, the amen corner responds with "AMEN"

3.Young man falls from third floor, dies and is brought back to life. See Acts 20:7-12

2.During miracle service, many are cured of insomnia.

And the number one sign:
People depicted in stained glass windows are looking at their watches.

This is hilarious Cliff.

No. 9 made me fall off my chair. There's a chain of restarurants up here called Swiss Chalet. They specialize in rotisserie chicken. It's awesome. Growing up in Toronot it was referred to as Pentecostal Chalet.

Pilgrim,

Thanks for the welcome back.

As far as the chicken house reference is concerned, I live close to Barberton, Ohio-considered by many as the chicken capitol of the world. There are several non related restaurants that specialize in chicken fried in lard. Despite the unhealthy prepparation, it's very tasty.

Anyway on Sunday afternoon you cannot get a seat because all the church goers eat there after their respective services.

Every place, regardless of their name, is referred to as the Chicken House.
