An elderly parishioner goes to the vicar and asks him will he marry him and his widowed neighbour.
The vicar agrees; "I'll read the banns next Sunday, but the wedding will have to wait until I return from my holiday".
On his return, he is visited by the old man again.
"Does it matter if I marry somebody else, I've changed my mind?"
"Of course not" said the vicar, "it's just as well you made up your mind in time".
"You don't understand; will it cost me any more?"
"Well" said the vicar, "I'll have to read the banns again, so you'll have to pay for that again".
The old man thought for a minute; "Leave it same as 'twas", he said.
