An experienced pastor was being hosted by a younger pastor and his family while attending a conference in another town.
After dinner the senior pastor thanked his hosts and stepped out into the backyard for a relaxing draw from his pipe.
A few minutes later the young pastor leaped out from around the corner he was hiding behind and declared. "Aha, I caught you, burning incense to the devil!"
The senior pastor replied,
"Yes, but I didn't know you would come so soon."
