Years ago my wife and I volunteered with high school youth at our church. We had a wonderful youth pastor from Canada and he told us this story – I believe it to be based on a real life experience:

When I was a youth pastor in Canada at a large church we decided to have a question and answer forum for our graduating seniors. We selected a panel of adult volunteers from the congregation that included a banker, a college professor, a local business owner, a financial planner, and lastly Walter Williams - a 70 plus year old man from our Elder board. The seniors (about 250 of them) were to write questions out for several weeks before the event and we would then randomly draw the questions from a fishbowl and have one of the adults on the panel field the question.

As the day arrived, the church was full of seniors, their parents and friends. The first question out of the bowl was,
“My grandparents gave me a $1,000 for graduations. What would be the best way to invest this sum?”
The banker suggested a savings account and then deferred to the investment planner who explained how the individual could start a Roth IRA or invest in a mutual fund.

Next question was from a burly young athlete,
“I really don’t feel like 4 years of college is for me right now – what can I do instead?”
The college professor encouraged the young to perhaps look at a community college for a class or two in a vocational program. The business owner indicated that as soon as the young man was enrolled in a vocational program he would be more than happy to have him work part time in his warehouse.

And so the questions progressed until one was drawn out and before thinking, the emcee read aloud,
“When do people stop having sex?”
Ooh – there was a hush for several seconds before Walter, the old elder stood up. Nodding his head and smiling he began,
“This might be one I can answer – as to exactly when people stop having sex I can rightly say but I will tell you it’s sometime after seventy!”

The place exploded with applause and the kids saw Walter in a new light from that day forward. The girls would smile and blush – looking down when they saw him but the guys all greeted Walter with a high-five and asked, “So how’s the missus, eh Mr. Williams?”

It’s a guy thing
