Humor Impaired Preacher mother

A preacher, who was "humor impaired," attended a conference to help encourage and better equip pastors（牧师） for their ministry.
Among the speakers were many well known and dynamic speakers（电动扬声器） . One such boldly approached the pulpit（讲道台） 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 sermon（布道，训诫） . As he approached the pulpit that Sunday, he tried to rehearse（排练） 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 congregation（集会，圣会） inhaled in surprise. After standing there for almost 10 seconds in the stunned（受惊的） silence, trying to recall the second half of the joke, the pastor finally blurted out, "...and I can't remember who she was!"
