A young minister was visiting one of his new parish's elderly members in her hospital room.
As he sat by her bed, he noticed a bowl of peanuts on the side table, and without thinking, swiped up a few and popped them in his mouth.
As they continued to visit, the young minister continued to eat the peanuts until he suddenly realized he had consumed the entire bowl without thinking.
Feeling very embarrassed, he apologized profusely to the woman.
"Oh, that's OK," the woman replied. "I'm glad someone could enjoy them. Since I can't wear my false teeth right now, all I have been able to do is suck the chocolate off."
