The voice of my beloved...

"The voice of my beloved!"
A man went into Victoria's Secret to buy a special gift for his wife. As the sales clerk was showing him some of the merchandise, they talked. She said to him, "Is this for your girl friend?" "You could say that," he replied. "It is for my wife." She said, "You must be a newlywed." "Why would you say that?" he replied. To this, she said, "Because no one who has been married for some time would buy lingerie for his wife." Upon hearing this he told her that he had been married for over 20 years. "To the same woman?" she asked. "Yes," he replied. "I find this hard to believe," she said. Keep the romance in your marriage!
"Down with the poor and honest man!"
A pastor received a phone call late one night from one of his members. Her husband hadn't come home from work, and it was pay day. She was afraid that he was at his favorite bar, and that he would spend all his money there. The pastor went to the bar, found the man, and finally persuaded him to let him take him home. The man wasn't sober, so the pastor had to put his arm around him and help him out to the car.
As he was leaving the bar, he was spotted by a few of his members. They saw him swaying, as he was arm-in-arm with another person who also appeared drunk. The gossip spread quickly. The pastor tried to explain what had happened, but the rumor wouldn't die. Finally, in disgrace, he resigned as pastor of the church. A good and honest man was brought down by gossip.
