 A carpenter was fixing the roof of a church, when he struck his thumb.
"Damn it, I missed!" cries the carpenter. The minister corrects him, saying, "You shouldn't say such a thing in the church."
The carpenter continues his work, and soon strikes his thumb again. "Damn it, I missed!" he yells. The minister again corrects the carpenter.
The carpenter continues with his work without further comment. Again the carpenter strikes his thumb, and again he yells, "Damn it, I missed!"
When the minister corrects him this time, the carpenter asks, "What's going to happpen? A bolt of lightning going to strike me dead?"
The minister says, "As a matter of fact, yes it will." All of a sudden, a bolt of lightning comes through the roof and strikes the minister dead.
A large booming voice comes from the heavens. "Damn it, I missed!"
