As a young minister in Kentucky , I was asked by a funeral director to
hold a graveside service for a homeless man, who had no family or
friends. The funeral was to be held at a new cemetery way back in the country, and
this man would be the first to be buried there.
I was not familiar with the backwoods area, and I soon became lost. Being
a typical man, I did not stop to ask for directions. I finally
arrived an hour late. I saw the backhoe and the open grave, but the hearse was
nowhere in sight. The digging crew was eating lunch. I apologized to
the workers for my tardiness, and I stepped to the side of the open grave. There I
saw the vault lid already in place. I assured the workers I would not hold
them up for long, as I told them that this was the proper thing to do.
The workers gathered around the grave and stood silently, as I began to
pour out my heart and soul. As I preached about 'looking forward to a
brighter tomorrow' and 'the glory that is to come, the workers
began to say 'Amen,' 'Praise the Lord,' and 'Glory!' The
fervor of these men truly inspired me. So, I preached and I
preached like I had never preached before, all the way from Genesis to
Revelations.
I finally closed the lengthy service with a prayer, thanked the men, and
walked to my car. As I was opening the door and taking off my
coat, I heard one of the workers say to another, 'I ain't NEVER seen nothin' like that
before, and I've been puttin' in septic tanks for thirty years!'

Minh, you're not the only one. But I get it now.
That's not funny at all. The only thing about this that could possibly be funny is how much time this minister wasted on a ceptic tank.
