A young country preacher was going to do his first funeral at a little countryside cemetery. This was the first burial in this cemetery.

He got lost trying to find the cemetery and was an hour late. He sees the grave is dug and goes over and was surprised that they already had the coffin in the encasement. The gravediggers were already having lunch over by the backhoe and dump truck. So he takes out his Bible and starts preaching and the workers were saying, "Amen, praise the Lord. Hallelujah."

This encouraged him and he preached two and a half hours. So, he walks back to his car and opens the door and took off his jacket to put it in the seat and heard one of the men say, "Man I have been installing septic tanks for fifteen years and I have never seen anything like this."
