Old Country Preacher's Son

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 would be OK, 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 books on the bed, and as he turned to leave the room he  spotted the 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 a Navy  Chief".
