Can't cuss

[Ellen]

A preacher was making his rounds on a bicycle when he came upon a little boy trying to sell a lawnmower. "How much do you want for the mower?" asked the preacher.

'I just want enough money to go out and buy me a bicycle', said the boy. After a moment of consideration, the preacher asked, will you take my bike in trade for it?"

The boy asked if he could try it out first, and after riding the bike around a little said, "Mister, you've got yourself a deal."

The preacher took the mower and began to crank it. He pulled on the rope a few times with no response from the mower. The preacher called the boy over and said, "I can't get this mower to start".

The boy said, "That's because you have to cuss at it to get it started."

The preacher said, I can't cuss; it's been so long since I became a Christian that I don't even remember how to cuss".

The fellow looked at him happily and said, "You just keep pulling on the rope and it'll come back to ya."
