English Original
The preacher was vexed because a certain member of his congregation always fell asleep during the sermon.
As the man was snoring in the front row one Sunday, the preacher determined he would teach him a lesson. So, in a whisper, he asked the congregation, "All who want to go to heaven, please rise." Everyone got up except the snorer. After whispering "Be seated," the minister shouted at the top of his voice, "All those who want to be with the devil, please rise!"
Awaking with a start, the sleepy-head jumped to his feet and saw the preacher standing tall and angry in the pulpit. "Well, sir," he said, "I don't know what we're voting on, but it looks like you and me are the only ones for it."

牧师非常生气，因为他会众中的某个人总是在布道时睡着。
一个星期天，当那个男人在前排打鼾时，牧师决定要给他一个教训。于是，他低声对会众说：“所有想去天堂的人，请起立。”除了打鼾者，所有人都站了起来。低声说完“请坐”后，牧师高声喊道：“所有想和魔鬼在一起的人，请起立！”
打瞌睡的人吓了一跳，猛地跳起来，看到牧师高高地站在讲坛上，怒气冲冲。他说：“呃，先生，我不知道我们在投什么票，但看起来只有你和我赞成。”
