The Preacher's Teeth

A preacher had all of his remaining teeth pulled out. New dentures were being made.

The first Sunday, he only preached for

10 minutes.

The second Sunday, he preached only 

20 minutes.

On the third Sunday, he preached

1 hour 25 minutes.

When asked about this by some of the congregation, he responded, "The first Sunday, my gums were so sore it hurt to talk. The second Sunday, my new dentures were hurting me a lot. The third Sunday, I accidentally grabbed my wife's dentures, and I couldn't shut up."
