One day ourintrepid PCT hero, Grizzly, was reading the Saturday morning newspaper at hiscabin.  His spouse, TrailDust, says tohim that she read that there was a camp-meeting Sunday down at the park.  She wanted them to go.
 
Grizzly says he does not think it will do any good, but TrailDust insiststhey go.  She explains you never knowwhen you will need some extraterrestrial help out on the PCT.
 
The next daythey arrive at the very crowded camp-meeting and revival.  Eventually the preacher announces,"Anyone with needs to be prayed over, come forward to the front atthe altar." 
 
Grizzly getsin line and when it's his turn he approaches the preacher andmicrophone.  The preacher loudly asks,"What do you want me to pray about for you, old timer?"
 
Grizzly bends forward and replies into the microphone: "Preacher, Ineed you to pray for help with my hearing." 
 
The preacher placeshis hands over Grizzly's ears and loudly prays and prays and prays.  Everyoneis yelling and raising their hands to heaven. It is an inspiring sight. 
  
After a fewminutes of this, the preacher removes his hands, stands back and asks,"Partner how is your hearing now?" 
 
Grizzly replies, "I don't know, Reverend, it ain't 'tilnext Wednesday."
