Blue New York Mets baseball cap on wooden church pew

“Just look at that young man in that cowboy hat,” she whispered to her husband, “He should remove that when he’s in church.”

“Times change; traditions slip away; younger generations don’t seem to care,” her husband replied indifferently.

Then, suddenly he objected, “Hey, you’re wearing a hat; how come it’s okay that women can wear fancy hats during service, but men are expected to remove their headgear?”

“The Bible says a woman’s hair is her crowning glory,” the wife said; it’s in one of Paul’s letters to the Corinthians somewhere.

“I still don’t understand why I can’t wear my New York Mets cap?” the husband grumbled.

The woman shook her head in disbelief, “You don’t have to be a theologian to understand that one,” as she stood with her husband to sing the opening hymn. “God is clearly not a Mets fan.”
