You up there?

[Red Squirrel]

A small-town parish was not a wealthy one and the pastor was dependent on
parishioners for upkeep and maintenance of the church.

So it wasn't unusual when he asked an electrician in the congregation to
rewire the front portion of the church.

The only way to reach the wiring was to enter the attic above the altar and
crawl over the ceiling by balancing on the rafters.

Concerned for her husband's safety, the electrician's wife waited patiently
in a pew below.

Unbeknownst to her, some parishioners were congregating in the foyer. They
paid little attention to the woman, probably assuming she was praying.

Worried about her husband, she looked up toward the ceiling and yelled,
"Sam, Sam! Are you up there? Did you make it OK?"

There was quite an outburst from the foyer when Sam's hearty voice echoed
down, "Yes, I made it up here just fine!"
