Employee Of An Employee

A shrewd Church employee would employ people to lighten his work. But it could have been dangerous. A rough looking man was waiting for me outside the Church gate one day, and stopped me: "Reverend, you owe me for the work I did." I said, "I don't know you. I didn't employ you." He said, "OK, but you employ Church employees. A Church employee owes me." I said: "I don't employ Church employees. The Church does." He said, "I want my money." This was tense, so I deflected the conversation. I said I'd follow it up -- and I did. I told our employee he had better pay his employee.
