(单词翻译:单击)

During his sermon one Sunday, the local preacher told his congregation
that the entire range of human experience could be found in the Bible. He
confidently stated, "If anything can happen to humans, it is described
somewhere in the Bible."

After the service, a woman came up to the preacher and said, "Reverend,
I don't think the Bible mentions anything about PMS."

The preacher told the woman he was certain he could find a reference to PMS
somewhere in scripture1.

During the following week, he searched diligently2, book-by-book, chapter-by-chapter
and verse-by-verse.

On the following Sunday, the woman came up to him and asked, "Did you
find any references to PMS in the Bible?"

The preacher smiled, opened his Bible and began to read, "... and Mary rode
Joseph's ass3 all the way to Bethlehem."
