A pastor was dissatisfied with how little his congregation put in the collection plates on Sundays, so he learned hypnosis. He started preaching in a monotone, swung a watch slowly in front of the pulpit, and at the end of the sermon, he yelled, “Give!” That week the collection plate was full of twenty-dollar bills and large checks. It worked for weeks; the congregation sat mesmerized during the sermon, staring at the swinging watch, and when the pastor yelled “Give!,” they gave everything they had. But it all fell apart one Sunday, when at the end of the sermon, the chain on the watch broke and the pastor said, “Oh, crap!”
