Last Minute

It's just before a long holiday weekend, and a minister is waiting in line to have his car filled with gas at a full-service gas station. The attendant works quickly, but many cars are ahead of the minister's. Finally, the attendant motions him toward a vacant pump.

"Reverend," says the young man, "sorry about the delay. It seems as if everyone waits until the last minute to get ready for a long trip."

The minister chuckles. "I know what you mean," he says. "It's the same in my business."
