NO HAT IN HAND HERE

A man walked into church on Sunday morning and as he sat down placed a hat upon his head. In not that long a time the Head usher leaned over and whispered in his ear, “Sir, we would appreciate it if you would remove your hat.” The man smiled and thanked him for his suggestion, but made no move to comply.

Soon the Clerk of the Session came in from the other side of the pew, quietly slid over to sit momentarily by the man and said, “Sir, we really prefer if it if you would take off your hat.” The man again smiled and did absolutely nothing.

Next came the Chairman of the Deacons, then the President of the Women’s Group and the President of the Men of the church. All politely but firmly suggested he remove his hat. Then several members made the same suggestion.

The man continued to smile at each and every one, but did not take off his hat.

The service ended and the preacher as usual walked to the back of the church to shake hands with the departing congregation. But as the man shook the his hand, the minister could not refrain from asking, “Sir, I hope you will not think me rude but my curiosity is killing me, I have to ask why it is you refused to remove your hat when asked by so many to do so?”

The man delayed his reply a bit and then softly said, “I have been coming to this church for three years and no one has ever spoken to me.”

Today the Head Usher, the Clerk of the Session, the Chairman of the Deacons, the President of the Women’s Group and the President of the Men of the Church and a goodly number of members all greeted me. Not bad for one day, wouldn’t you say?”
