He Knew His Pastor Wdl

An old friend, Ralph Skidmore, who spends some of his winters playing golf in Florida, sends along the following story as one that actually happened to him. Anyway, it's brand new to me, and is a good sample of that sort of humor, so here it is:

One day he found himself being assisted by a colored caddie of middle age, who turned out to be an absolute topnotch member of his golf-bag-toting profession. So well was he impressed with the excellence of the caddie, that he decided to praise him, and have some fun with him at the same time. So, at the end of the first nine holes he said to the caddie: "Mose, I like you for a caddie very much, and to show you f do I'm going to give you an extra dollar at the finish of this game, but with one understanding; that you put the dollar in the collection plate in church next

At the end of the game he said to the caddie: .,Mose, I like your work so much that I'm going to double that offer I made you. I'll give you two dollars extra if you promise to put them both in the collection plate in church next Sunday." The caddie was profuse in his thanks, and assured him the two dollars would go in the plate as he suggested. So my friend said to the caddie: "Mose, do you go to church every Sunday?" Mose said, "Yassuh, nevah misses a Sunday." So he asked: "And do you know your pastor well?" The answer was: "Yassuh, I knows him good.', So he asked: "Who is your pastor, Mose?"

And Mose answered: "I IS !"
