An old southern country preacher from Georgia had a teenage son named
> David
> and it was getting time the boy should give some thought to choosing a
> profession.
>
> Like many young men, the boy didn't really know what he wanted to do, and
> he
> didn't seem too concerned about it.
>
>
>
> One day, while the boy was away at school, his father decided to try an
> experiment. He went into the boy's room and placed on his study table four
> objects:
>
>    -   a Bible,
>
>     -   a silver dollar,
>
>    -   a bottle of whisky and
>
>    -   a Playboy magazine
>
> I'll just hide behind the door," the old preacher said to himself, "and
> when
> he comes home from school this afternoon, I'll see which object he picks
> up.
>
> If it's the Bible, he's going to be a preacher like me, and what a
> blessing that would be!
>
> If he picks up the dollar, he's going to be a businessman, and that

>
> But if picks up the bottle, he's going to be a no-good drunkard, and,
> Lord,
> what a shame that would be.
>
> And worst of all, if he picks up that magazine he's gonna be a
> skirt-chasin' bum."

> The old man waited anxiously, and soon heard his son's footsteps as he
> entered the house whistling and headed for his room. The boy tossed his

> objects
> on the table. With curiosity in his eye, he walked over to inspect them.
>
> Finally, he picked up the Bible and placed it under his arm. He picked up
> the silver dollar and dropped it into his pocket. He uncorked the bottle
> and
> took a big drink while he admired this month's Centerfold.
>
> "Lord have mercy," the old preacher disgustedly whispered, "he's gonna be
