The Truth Hurts
A preacher was beaten up after delivering (in defiance of the old saying, "de mortuis nil nisi bonum"--speak only good things of the dead) a eulogy that castigated the recently departed as a "drunkard and a fornicator," and had a grim prognosis for his happiness in the hereafter.
The preacher's wife (whose uncle was the former fornicator in question) said that:
"the fornicators didn't like what he said so they got up and beat him."
There was no word as to how the drunkards reacted.

No, we usually don't.

Maybe saying that the deceased was in Hell WAS the best thing he could say about him.
"Well, folks, Satan did not reject his soul as too evil and corrupt even for Hell."

The preacher must've been out damning heathens the day they studied "let he who is without sin cast the first stone."
Huh?
TWACK!

The drunkards were singing "Sweet Adeline" at the top of their lungs and didn't hear what he said.

No, the drunkards all puked into the collection basket.
