Here's your hilarious joke:

The gift. Knowing that the minister had a very sore throat, an elderly woman presented him with a bottle of cherry brandy. "This is quite soothing,” the woman said, "but please don’t tell anyone I gave you liquor. Everyone thinks I am teetotaler." "I understand," replied the good man. When the church magazine came out a few days later, the congregant skimmed the "With Appreciation" column. There she read: "The minister extends his thanks to Mrs. Alice Rodgers for her gift of fruit and the spirit in which it was given."
