An elderly couple is watching one of those television
preachers on TV one night. The preacher faces the
camera and announces, “My friends, I'd like to share
my healing powers with everyone watching this program.
Place one hand on top of your TV and the other hand on
the part of your body that ails you, and I will heal
you.”

The old woman has been having terrible stomach
problems, so she places one hand on the television and
the other hand on her stomach. Meanwhile, her husband
approaches the television, placing one hand on top of
the TV and the other hand on his groin.

With a frown, his wife says, “Ernest, he's talking
about healing the sick, not raising the dead.”
