Funny Joke: The Trade

A pastor’s wife decides to get him a bicycle for his birthday to help him start a fitness routine…

The pastor gives it a shot, but after a few weeks of a regular routine, he realizes it probably wasn’t his thing.

One day, while riding past a freshly mowed lawn, he sees a young man sitting on the porch…

The young man says, “Hey preacher, good to see you getting your ride in!”

The pastor stops to catch his breath and says, “Thanks, but I don’t think I’ll be riding much longer, it’s not my thing.”

The young man replies, “That’s a shame, that’s a really nice bike.”

The pastor looks over at the mower and says, “You have a nice mower, looks brand new.”

The young man replies, “Well, I’ve only used it a few times… ”

“But I recently found out that I’ll be moving to the city for my job and won’t have a lawn to mow anymore.”

“Wait a minute!” says the young man, “How about a trade?… ”

“I won’t need my mower in the city, and you don’t want your bike.”

The pastor thinks for a second and says, “Done!”

The next week, the pastor gets out his nearly new mower to try it out…

But try as he might, he just can’t get it started.

After yanking the cord with all his strength for about 5 minutes, he sees the young man riding by on the bicycle…

He calls out, “Hey, this mower you gave me won’t start!”

“Did you cuss it out really good?” asks the young man.

“What? Heavens no!” the pastor exclaims.

The young man explains, “Well, it doesn’t start unless you cuss it out first.”

“Son,” the preacher says, “I’m a man of the cloth, I have to set an example for my flock… ”

“I don’t use profanity, and in fact it’s been so long, I probably don’t remember how!”

“Well,” the young man says as he rides away, “You just keep pulling that cord… ”

“It’ll come back to you soon enough!”
