  • Holy Humour

    WANA father was approached by his small son who told him proudly, “I know what the Bible means!” 

    His father smiled and replied, “What do you mean, you ‘know’ what the Bible means?

    The son replied, “I do know!”

    “Okay,” said his father. “What does the Bible mean?”

    “That’s easy, Daddy…” the young boy replied excitedly, “It stands for ‘Basic Information Before Leaving Earth.’” 

     

    =======

    There was a very gracious lady who was mailing an old family Bible to her brother in another part of the country.

    “Is there anything breakable in here?” asked the postal clerk.

    “Only the Ten Commandments.” answered the lady.

    ========

    “Somebody has said there are only two kinds of people in the world. There are those who wake up in the morning and say, “Good morning, Lord,” and there are those who wake up in the morning and say, “Good Lord, its morning.”

    ========

    A minister parked his car in a no-parking zone in a large city because he was short of time and couldn’t find a space with a meter.

    Then he put a note under the windshield wiper that read: “I have circled the block 10 times. If I don’t park here, I’ll miss my appointment. Forgive us our trespasses.”

    When he returned, he found a citation from a police officer along with this note “I’ve circled this block for 10 years. If I don’t give you a ticket I’ll lose my job. Lead us not into temptation.”

    ========

    There is the story of a pastor who got up one Sunday and announced to his congregation: “I have good news and bad news. The good news is, we have enough money to pay for our new gym – fellowship hall building program. The bad news is, it’s still out there in your pockets.”

    ========

    While driving in Pennsylvania, a family caught up to an Amish carriage. The owner of the carriage obviously had a sense of humor, because attached to the back of the carriage was a hand printed sign… “Energy efficient vehicle: Runs on oats and grass. Caution: Do not step in exhaust.”

    ========

    A Sunday School teacher began her lesson with a question, “Boys and girls, what do we know about God?”

    A hand shot up in the air. “He is an artist!” said the kindergarten boy.

    “Really? How do you know?” the teacher asked.

    “You know – Our Father, who does art in Heaven… “

    ========

    A minister waited in line to have his car filled with gas just before a long holiday weekend. The attendant worked quickly but there were many cars ahead of him. Finally the attendant motioned him toward a vacant pump.

    “Reverend,” said the young man, “I’m so sorry about the delay. It seems as if everyone waits until the last minute to get ready for a long trip.”

    The minister chuckled, “I know what you mean. It’s the same in my business.”

    ========

    People want the front of the bus, the back of the church, and the center of attention.

    ========

    Sunday after church, a Mom asked her very young daughter what the lesson was about.

    The daughter answered, “Don’t be scared, you’ll get your quilt.”

    Needless to say, the Mom was perplexed. Later in the day, the pastor stopped by for tea and the Mom asked him what that morning’s Sunday school lesson was about.

    He said “Be not afraid, thy comforter is coming.”

    ========

    The minister was preoccupied with thoughts of how he was going to ask the congregation to come up with more money than they were expecting for repairs to the church building. Therefore, he was annoyed to find that the regular organist was sick and a substitute had been brought in at the last minute. The substitute wanted to know what to play. 

    “Here’s a copy of the service,” he said impatiently. “But, you’ll have to think of something to play after I make the announcement about the finances.”

    During the service, the minister paused and said, “Brothers and Sisters, we are in great difficulty; the roof repairs cost twice as much as we expected and we need $4,000 more. Any of you who can pledge $100 or more, please stand up.”

    At that moment, the substitute organist played “The Star Spangled Banner.”

    And that is how the substitute became the regular organist!

     

    When you carry the Bible, Satan gets a headache….. When you open it, he collapses….. When he sees you reading it, he faints….. When he sees that you are living what you read, he flees….. And when you are about to forward this message… He will try and discourage you. I just defeated him!!! Any other takers?


  • The Gold Urinal

    WANBefore Obama was elected President he went to see Bill and Hillary for some campaign advice, at their spacious home.

    After drinking several glasses of iced tea, he asked Bill Clinton if he could use his personal bathroom.

    When he entered Clinton’s private toilet, he was astonished to see that Clinton had a solid gold urinal! Wow!

     

    That afternoon, Obama told his wife, Michelle, about the urinal. “Just think,’ he said, ‘when I am President, I too could have a gold urinal.

    But I wouldn’t have something so self-indulgent!”

    Later, when Michelle had lunch with Hillary, she told Hillary how impressed Obama had been at his discovery of the fact that, in his private bathroom,

    Bill had a gold urinal.

    That evening, when Bill and Hillary were getting ready for bed, Hillary smiled and said to Bill:

     

     

    “I found out who pee-ed in your saxophone.”

  • The Chicken Farmer

    WAN

    A chicken farmer went to a local bar…. Sat next to a woman and ordered a glass of champagne.

    The woman perks up and says, ‘How about that? I just ordered a glass of champagne, too!’

    ‘What a coincidence’ the farmer says, ‘This is a special day for me…. I am celebrating’

    ‘This is a special day for me too, I am also celebrating!’ says the woman.

    ‘What a coincidence!’ says the farmer!

    As they clinked glasses the man asked, ‘What are you celebrating?’

    ‘My husband and I have been trying to have a child and today my gynecologist told me that I am pregnant!’

    ‘What a coincidence,’ says the man.

    ‘I’m a chicken farmer and for years all of my hens were infertile, but today they are all laying fertilized eggs.’

    ‘That’s great!’ says the woman, ‘How did your chickens become fertile?’

    ‘I used a different rooster,’ he replied.

    The woman smiled and said, ‘What a coincidence.’

  • THE NIGHT WATCHMAN

    WANOnce upon a time, the government had a vast scrap yard in the middle of a desert.  Congress said, “Someone may steal from it at night.”  So they created a night watchman position and hired a person for the job.

    Then Congress said, “How does the watchman do his job without instruction?”  So they created a planning department and hired two people, one person to write the instructions, and one person to do time studies.

    Then Congress said, “How will we know the night watchman is doing the tasks correctly?  “So they created a Quality Control department and hired two people.  One was to do the studies and one was to write the reports.

    Then Congress said, “How are these people going to get paid?” So they created two positions:  a time keeper and a payroll officer then hired two people.

    Then Congress said,  “Who will be accountable for all of these people?” So they created an administrative section and hired three people, an Administrative Officer, Assistant Administrative Officer, and a Legal Secretary.

    Then Congress said, “We have had this command in operation for one year and we are $918,000 over budget, we must cut back.”  So they eliminated  the NIGHT WATCHMAN .  Does anybody remember the reason given for the establishment of the  DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY during the Carter administration? Anybody?

     

    No?

     

    Didn’t think so!

     

    Bottom line is, we’ve spent several hundred billion dollars in support of an agency….the reason for which not one person who reads this can  remember!

    Ready?? It was very simple… and at the time, everybody thought it very appropriate.

    The Department of Energy was instituted on 8/04/1977, TO LESSEN OUR DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN OIL.

    AND NOW IT’S 2012 — 35 YEARS LATER — AND THE BUDGET FOR THIS  “NECESSARY” DEPARTMENT IS AT $24.2 BILLION A YEAR and IT HAS 16,000 FEDERAL EMPLOYEES  AND APPROXIMATELY 100,000 CONTRACT EMPLOYEES; AND LOOK AT THE JOB IT HAS DONE!

    (THIS IS WHERE YOU SLAP YOUR FOREHEAD AND SAY, “WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?”)

    34 years ago 30% of our oil consumption was foreign imports.  Today 70% of our oil consumption is foreign imports.

    NOW, WE HAVE TURNED OVER THE BANKING SYSTEM, HEALTH CARE, AND THE AUTO INDUSTRY TO THE SAME GOVERNMENT?

    Hello!!  Anybody Home?

    Signed….The Night Watchman

  • Zebra Stripes

    A Zebra dies and arrives at the Pearly Gates… As he enters, he asks St. Peter, ‘I have a question that’s haunted me all of my days on earth. Am I white with black stripes, or am I black with white stripes?’

    St. Peter said, ‘That’s a question only God can answer.’

    So the zebra went off in search of God.

    When he found Him, the zebra asked, ‘God, please – I must know, am I white with black stripes, or am I black with white stripes?’

    God simply replied ‘You are what you are.’

    The zebra returned to see St. Peter once more, who asked him, ‘Well, did God straighten out your query for you?’

    The zebra looked puzzled.. ‘No sir, God simply said ‘You are what you are.”

    St. Peter smiled and said to the zebra, ‘Well then, there you are. You are white with black stripes..’

    The zebra asked St. Peter, ‘How do you know that for certain?’

    ‘Because,’ said St. Peter, ‘If you were black with white stripes, God would have said, ‘You is what you is..’

    WARNING: If you laugh at this, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Rev Wright and Obama will be comin after yo ass!!!

  • The Harried Pharmacist

    Upon arriving home, a husband was met at the door by his sobbing wife. Tearfully she explained, “It’s the druggist. He insulted me terribly this morning on the phone. I had to call multiple times before he would even answer the phone.”

     

    Immediately, the husband drove downtown to confront the druggist and demand an apology.

     

    Before he could say more than a word or two, the druggist told him, “Now, just a minute, listen to my side of it. This morning the alarm failed to go off, so I was late getting up. I went without breakfast and hurried out to the car, just to realize that I’d locked the house with both house and car keys inside and had to break a window to get my keys.

     

    “Then, driving a little too fast, I got a speeding ticket. Later, when I was about three blocks from the store, I had a flat tire.”

     

    “When I finally got to the store a bunch of people were waiting for me to open up. I got the store opened and started waiting on these people, all the time the darn phone was ringing off the hook.”

     

    He continued, “Then I had to break a roll of nickels against the cash register drawer to make change, and they spilled all over the floor. I had to get down on my hands and knees to pick up the nickels and the phone was still ringing.

     

    When I came up I cracked my head on the open cash drawer, which made me stagger back against a showcase with a bunch of perfume bottles on it. Half of them hit the floor and broke.”

     

    “Meanwhile, the phone is still ringing with no let up, and I finally got back to answer it. It was your wife. She wanted to know how to use a Rectal thermometer.

     

    And believe me mister, as God is my witness, all I did was tell her.”
