Never heard that one before

(After a short negotiation at the church door which ends in the Pastor presenting the Guy with a bag of groceries, and a can opener.)

Guy: And can I get three bucks?
Pastor: I cant give you cash, I'm sorry.
Guy: I just need three bucks. I'm a smoker.
Pastor: (repeat above)
Guy: I would hate to go to jail for stealing a pack of cigarettes. It's just three bucks.
Pastor: (repeat again)
Guy: Well, are there any other churches around here?
Pastor: There are lots of churches in this neighborhood, but I dont know any that give out money for smokes.
Guy (walking away with groceries) Well, hey, Jesus was a smoker.....

Maybe Jesus only smoked when he went out to bars...that's why we don't all know about it, because none of that made it into the gospels...
