Sam Brown a successful entrepreneur and publican stands and says, “If the Vicar will stay on here, I’ll personally double his salary and establish a foundation to guarantee private secondary school education of his children!” More sighs and loud applause.
Agnes Jones aged 88 stands and announces with a smile, “If the Vicar stays I will give him sex.” There is total silence.
