Mr. Smith was a distinguished gentleman in his 70s, a churchgoer, with white hair. One Sunday, his wife told him to go to church alone, as she was under the weather.
He came back from church with a black eye.
Upon seeing him, Mrs. Smith cried out

Mr. Smith explained
"I did nothing such. What happened was that in church, as we stood up to sing hymn, the lady in front of me got her skirt stuck in her cheeks. It looked embarrassing, so I reached up to pull her skirt out. At that point, she felt it, turned around and punched me in the eye".
Mrs. Smith:
"Served you right. Next time, just let it be."
Next Sunday, Mrs. Smith still did not feel well, so Mr. Smith went to church alone again. He came back with the other eye blackened.
Mrs. Smith exclaimed
"Good lord! What happened now?"
Mr. Smith sighed and sat down. He explained
"What do you know, I found myself behind that woman again. And as we stood up to sing, the same thing happened as did last week. The fellow next to me reached up to pull her skirt out. I knew it was not a good thing to do, but could not stop him in time, so I reached up to tuck it back in. At that point, well, you know..."
