and the vicar is organising his annual harvest service,
where people bring their home-grown plants and vegetables to the service.
But this year is different.
The local village cricket team has just won their league,
and the village is in celebratory mood,
so the vicar decides to do something special -
he will combine the normal harvest service with a cricket theme.
The day of the service arrives, and the church is filled with flowers.
People are bringing in their offerings of vegetables,
and in the middle of the display is a cricket wicket;
a strip of turf with a set of wooden stumps at each end,
and people are laying their offerings on the wicket.
Everything is going fine,
until one lady comes up to the front of the church,
and places a bag of frozen peas among the other vegetables,
but she is stopped by the vicar, so she returns to her seat,
still clutching her peas.
“What happened?” asked the lady she’s sitting next to.
She shrugs her shoulders, and says,
“There’s no peas for the wicket."
Nelson Mandela is sitting at home watching the telly when he hears a knock at the door. When he opens it, he is confronted by a little Japanese man,
clutching a clipboard and yelling,"You sign, you sign, here!"
Behind him is an enormous truck full of car exhausts.
Nelson is standing there in complete amazement
when the Japanese man starts to yell louder."You sign! You sign here!"
Nelson says to him, "Look mate, you've obviously got the wrong bloke.
Get lost!" and shuts the door in the Japanese man's face.
The next day he hears a knock at the door again.
When he opens it, the little Japanese man is back,
with a huge truck full of brake pads.
He thrusts his clipboard under Nelson's nose, yelling "You sign! You sign! here"
Mr Mandela is getting a bit hacked off by now,
so he shoves the little Japanese man back, shouting:
"Look, get lost!! You've got the wrong bloke! I don't want them!"
then slams the door in the Japanese man's face again.
The following day Nelson is resting,
and late in the afternoon, hears a knock on the door again.
Upon opening the door, the little Japanese man thrusts the same clipboard
under his nose, shouting"You sign! You sign here!"
Behind him are TWO large trucks full of wing mirrors.
Nelson loses his temper completely,
picks the little man up by his shirt front and yells at him,
"Look, I don't want these! Do you understand?
You must have the wrong man! Who do you want to give these to?"
The little Japanese man looks at him a bit puzzled, consults his clipboard,
And says:
"You not, Nissan Maindealer
