“They were having preaching one Sunday morning in this black church and they had a new piccolo player playing along with the choir. Well, they played two or three songs there and somebody all of a sudden hollered out in this real deep voice, The piccolo player’s a motherfucker. Everybody hushed. The old reverend was up in the pulpit and he looked out over the congregation. He was just shocked. He said, Who was that called my piccolo player a motherfucker? Nobody said a word. Everybody was looking around to see who it was. The old reverend stood up there for a minute. Said, All right. I want the man who’s setting next to the man who called my piccolo player a motherfucker to stand up. Nobody said a word. The old reverend was just getting madder all the time. He said, All right. I want the man who’s setting next to the man who’s setting next to the man who called my piccolo player a motherfucker to stand up. And hell, nobody stood up. Nobody said a word. The old reverend stood up there and just got pissed off as hell. Then he hollered, All right! I want the man who’s setting next to the man who’s setting next to the man who’s setting next to the man who called my piccolo player a motherfucker to stand up! Finally there was this one little bitty guy in the back who stood up. And everybody was looking at him. He said, Reveren, I ain’t the man who’s setting next to the man who’s setting next to the man who’s setting next to the man who called your piccolo player a motherfucker. I ain’t even the man who’s setting next to the man who’s setting next to the man who called your piccolo player a motherfucker. And I ain’t the man who called your piccolo player a motherfucker. What I want to know is, who called that motherfucker a piccolo player?”
