The preacher was wired for sound with a lapel mike,

and as he preached, he moved briskly about the platform,

jerking the mike cord as he went.

Then he moved to one side,

getting wound up in the cord and nearly tripping before jerking it again.

After several circles and jerks,

Tee Boudreaux in the turd pew leaned toward his mom and whispered,

“MOM, If he gets loose, is he gonna hurt us?”
