Say "Amen" and go home

A visiting minister during the offertory prayer:
"Dear Lord," he began with arms extended and a rapturous look on
his upturned face, "without you we are but dust..."
He would have continued, but at that moment one very
obedient little
girl (who was listening carefully for a change!) leaned over to her
mother and asked quite audibly in her shrill little girl voice, "Mommy,
WHAT is BUTT dust?"
Church was pretty much over at that point...
