"Lengthy Sermon" joke

The entire congregation came out to hear the preacher's first sermon. It lasted for a mere eight minutes. The next Sunday, the preacher's sermon was forty-five minutes. His third sermon was two and a half hours in duration.
The pulpit committee called the preacher in and asked, "What's happening here?"
The preacher replied, "Well, on the first Sunday all of my teeth had just been pulled. My mouth was sore, so my sermon was short. The next week, I had my new dentures and I was feeling fine."
The committee leader said, "But, your third sermon was two and a half hours long!"
"Oh, yes," the preacher responded. "The third week, I picked up my wife's dentures by mistake and I couldn't stop talking!"
