A pastor walked into a neighbourhood pub

[idk01]

A pastor walked into a neighbourhood pub that was really hopping with music
and dancing. Every now and than the lights would go out followed by wild
cheering from the crowd.

When somebody noticed the pastor however, the revelry stopped and the room
got very quiet. Feeling awkward and out of place, the pastor went to the
bartender and asked, "May I please use the restroom?"

The bartender replied, "I really don't think you should."

"For heavens sake, why not?" asked the pastor.

"Well, there is a large statue of a woman in there, and I am afraid it would
offend you, being a man of the cloth and all. She is only wearing a fig leaf
over her...."

"Nonsense," said the pastor. "I'll just look the other way." Still feeling
very self-conscious in the quiet room he entered the men's room.

After a few minutes he emerged and the whole place was filled with music and
dancing again, and everyone was giving him an enthusiastic round of applause.

Several patrons came to him, slapped him on the back, put their arms around
his shoulders, and led him to the bar where he was presented with a cold drink,
on the house.

"I don't understand," the bewildered pastor whispered to the bartender. "What
happened?"

"They know you're one of us now," the bartender replied.

"How?" asked the pastor.

The bartender grinned and slid another drink to him.

"When the fig leaf on the statue is lifted, the lights go out ..."
