A church needs a new pastor, and after a long and careful search, the elders hire a woman -- but only over the protests of one vocal male member.
After the new pastor has been there for a few weeks, one of the elders decides to try to smooth things over between the protester and the pastor, and offers to take them both out for a day of fishing. They accept the invitation.
On the appointed day, the trio boards the boat and motors out on the lake. But when they get ready to fish, they realize that they've left all their tackle on the dock.
"I guess we'll just have to go back," the host says.
"That won't be necessary," says the pastor, and she gets out of the boat and starts walking across the water toward the dock.
The old grouch watches. "See," he says to his fellow elder, "I told you we never should have hired that woman. She can't even swim."
