Dave Anderson told an anecdote about the 17th century English Baptist pastor, John Gill, which I had not heard before.
It concerned a talkative parishioner who told him that the band of his gown was inappropriately long, and denoted vanity. He told her to take her scissors and cut it off to the length she thought appropriate; she did so. He then said he had had his attention called to something about her that he thought was too long. When she told him to take the scissors and cut it off to the right length, he took the scissors and said, "NOW, put out your tongue."
