Make it your own

Even if you hear a joke in the 2nd or 3rd person it is often more fun to tell it in the first person...

I was sitting home alone one night when my phone rang,
It was the preacher from the church I went to on Christmas and Easter,
"Mike" he said, "We see that you make a fine living at the bank, head of a department and all, but our records show that you have never given so much as a dime to the church, we were wondering if you would like to help out the less fortunate?"
To which I replied, "Do your records show that my mother is ill and almost bankrupt from the medical bills, or that my brother is blind and out of work, or that my sisters husband died and left her almost penniless with 3 children!?"
"Ohh I am very sorry sir, we didn't know" He stammered.
"Ya, well if I wont help them what makes you think I would give you any thing!?"
