Humor Impaired Preacher

A preacher, who was "humor impaired," attended a conference to help encourage and better equip [b]pastors(牧师)[/b] for their ministry.
Among the speakers were many well known and [b]dynamic speakers(电动扬声器)[/b] . One such boldly approached the [b]pulpit(讲道台)[/b] and, gathering the entire crowd's attention, said, "The best years of my life were spent in the arms of a woman that wasn't my wife!"
The crowd was shocked!
He followed up by saying, "And that woman was my mother!" - The crowd burst into laughter and delivered the rest of his talk, which went over quite well.
The next week, our pastor decided he'd give this humor thing a try, and use that joke in his [b]sermon(布道,训诫)[/b] . As he approached the pulpit that Sunday, he tried to [b]rehearse(排练)[/b] the joke in his head. It suddenly seemed a bit foggy to him.
Getting to the microphone he said loudly, "The greatest years of my life were spent in the arms of a woman that was not my wife!"
The [b]congregation(集会,圣会)[/b] inhaled in surprise. After standing there for almost 10 seconds in the [b]stunned(受惊的)[/b] silence, trying to recall the second half of the joke, the pastor finally blurted out, "...and I can't remember who she was!"
