The offering plate
O vocalista Peter Tägtgren da banda Hypocrisy.
A man went to church one day and afterward he stopped toshake the preacher’s hand. He said, ‘Preacher, I’ll tell youthat was a damned fine sermon. Damned good!’
The preacher said, ‘Thank you sir, but I’d rather you didn’t use profanity.’
The man said, ‘I was so damned impressed with that sermon that I put five thousand dollars in the offering plate!’
The preacher said, ‘No shit?
  • the offering plate > a sacolinha (onde se coloca doações em dinheiro)
  • afterward > depois
  • shake the preacher’s hand > cumprimentar o pastor
  • I’ll tell you… > cá entre nós
  • that was a damned fine sermon > aquela pregação sua foi boa pra cacete
  • I’d rather you didn’t use profanity > eu preferiria que o senhor não usasse palavras profanas
  • impressed > encantado
  • No shit? > Puta que pariu!
