My friend "The Rite Reverend Dr. Wild Bill", the Baptist preacher retired. Now he has time to go and visit other churches. That gets him all upset. He doesn’t understand that all churches aren’t like the one where he was for about a million years.
The people aren’t always friendly and welcoming to visitors. And, especially the preachers don’t make a point of welcoming visitors. Silly him thinks that preachers should stand at the door and shake hands with special recognition of visitors.
As usual, I have to point out solutions to him. All Bill needs to do is get some plain paper and cut it into the size of dollars. Make a big stack. Then get a few real bills, especially $20 and $100. Don’t bother asking me to borrow those. When the plate comes around, pull out the big stack of "money" and peel off a couple of real ones from the top. It is best to be seated near the front so everyone, especially the preacher, can see you. They will shake your hand off and invite you back.
It looks bad if you make change in the plate.
