- There was once a parson and he was sick and this Sunday morning he called on his sexton to come and make the announcements for the week and the parson told him to say that Moses made mourn for the sins of his people and the sexton said that "Moses made ointment for the shins of his people".When the sexton went in again the parson said "you big idiot you spoilt it all" and before the parson had time to explain the sexton rushed out again and said the big idiot spilt it all.
