A minister told his congregation that instead of him choosing the hymns for the day's service, they were going to try something different. When it was time for a hymn, he would raise his hand and a random parishioner would call out a word. Then another parishioner would begin singing a hymn suggested by that word, and the rest of the congregation would join in.

When the minister reached the appropriate point in his sermon, he raised his hand, a parishioner shouted "Rugged!" A fellow in the third row stood and began singing "The Old Rugged Cross", and the rest of the congregation joined in.

When the minister reached the next stopping point in his sermon, he raised his hand and a parishioner shouted "Walk!" Someone in the seventh row stood and began singing "Just a Closer Walk With Thee", and the rest of the congregation joined in.

When the minister raised his hand a third time, some smart-ass up in the balcony yelled "Sex!" Old widow MacDonald down in the front row stood and began singing "Precious Memories", and the rest of the congregation joined in.
