A man lost two buttons from his shirt and put them in his
pants pocket. But the pocket had a hole, so the buttons
fell into his shoe.
Unfortunately, the shoe sole also had a hole, so he lost
the buttons. Since pockets with holes, holes without
buttons, and shoe soles with holes are useless, the man
ripped the buttonholes out of his shirt and the pocket
from his pants and tossed them in the trash along with
the soles of his shoes. After looking in a mirror at
the holes in his clothing, he decided to toss his clothes
in the trash as well.
A policeman observed all this and asked the man for
identification. The man produced a document that he was
an ordained minister of the gospel. So, of course, the
policeman promptly escorted him to a mental institution.
The minister protested violently, asking why he was receiving
such unjust treatment.
"Look, it's the best place for you now," the policeman replied,
"Anyone claiming to be a preacher, but who doesn't save souls
or wear holy clothes has probably lost his buttons."
