But John came in fifth and won a toaster
This brings up a good point of Calvin's theology, pretty widely held by Evangelical Churches. That is, that Grace is irresistible.

Little play on words. It is cute. I'll accept that. It's okay to laugh.

You're right, toasters are not funny; useful, but not funny. Now the word 'toaster', having two syllables with emphasis on the first, is great for ending a dramatic sentence. Had the OP said, "... won a refrigerator..." it just wouldn't work; to the ear, it would sound like traveling a bumpy road and a poor choice. I suppose, given the parameters of this discussion, "doorknob" would have worked but, frankly, doorknobs are a bit heavy for this lighthearted discussion... and, after all, laughter is the best medicine.

When John didn't follow the Lord's command (s) He did get a "toaster". God wants us to follow him so we don't become "toast" There is a Bill Graham sermon in this joke.

Yes it is!
Just like, "A Priest and a Minister walked into a bar, but the Rabbi ducked"...

Priest, rabbi and minister walk into a bar. The bartender looks up and says, "Is this a joke?"
