The new Vicar was up early one Sunday morning, walking round his new parish, after leaving his wife in bed with the Sunday papers, her cup of tea, and a pack of cigarettes.

One of the old villagers came up to him and said, "Good morning Vicar, how be you and the wife?"

The Vicar said, "Good morning my man, I am fine, the wife is fine also as I left her in bed smoking."

The villager said, "Arr, Vicar, that's the way to do 'em!"
