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 you, that 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!
