Excuses

A pastor in Ireland got tired of listening to the same old excuses from people who do not attend Church, so he wrote the following item titled "Ten Reasons Why I Never Wash" for his church bulletin.

  1. I was made to wash as a child.
  2. People who wash are hypocrites. They reckon they are cleaner than other people.
  3. There are so many different kinds of soap, I could never decide which one was right.
  4. I used to wash, but it got boring so I stopped.
  5. I still wash on special occasions, like Easter and Christmas.
  6. None of my friends wash.
  7. I'm still young. When I'm older and have got a bit dirtier I might start washing.
  8. I really don't have time.
  9. The bathroom is never warm enough.
  10. People who make soap are only after your money.
