Leroy is a good ol' boy whose mama taught him well.  One Sunday he goes to church and after a while the preacher asks anyone with needs to be prayed over to come forward to the front at the altar..

Leroy gets in  line, and when it's his turn, the preacher asks: "Leroy, what do you want me  to pray about for you?"

Leroy replies: "Preacher, I need you to pray for  my hearing."

The preacher puts one finger in Leroy's ear, and he places the other hand on top of Leroy's head and prays and prays and prays. He prays  a blue streak for Leroy. After a few minutes, the preacher removes his
hands, stands back and asks, "Leroy, how is your hearing now?"

Leroy says, "I  don't know, Reverend, it ain't till next  Wednesday."
