Car Wash

The church choir was putting on a car wash to raise money to pay their expenses for a special trip.

They made a large sign, CAR WASH FOR CHOIR TRIP, and on the given Saturday business was very good.

But by two o’clock the skies clouded and the rain poured and there were hardly any customers.

Finally, one of the girl washers had an idea.

She printed a very large poster which said, WE WASH (then an arrow pointing skyward) GOD RINSES. Business boomed!
