Paying the Pastor

Tom was getting married, but his wife wasn’t exactly Angelina Jolie. In fact, she was about as far from that as it was possible to be. Then again, Tom was no Brad Pitt himself.

After the wedding ceremony, Tom asked the pastor how much the cost was.

“Just give me what you think it is worth to have this lady for your wife,” replied the Reverend.

Tom looked at his wife, and handed the pastor $50.

The pastor looked at Tom’s wife and gave him $45 change.
