Friday's Funnies

Creation

At Sunday School they were teaching how God created everything, including human beings.  Little Johnny seemed especially intent when they told him how Eve was created out of one of Adam's ribs. Later in the week his mother noticed him lying down as though he were ill, and she said, "Johnny, what is the matter?"  Little Johnny responded, "I have pain in my side. I think I'm going to have a wife."

Oops

One night at the dinner table, the wife commented, “When we were first married, you took the small piece of steak and gave me the larger. Now you take the large one and leave me the smaller. You don't love me anymore.”  “Nonsense, darling,” replied the husband, “you just cook better now.”

Towels

When Sam returned to the house one evening, his wife Sarah announced that the new cleaning woman they had hired had stolen two towels.  "Yeah," said Sam very disinterested, and reclining on the sofa, "that wasn't very nice of her to do."  "You're darn right it wasn't," Sarah said. "And they were the two best towels we had .... you know the ones we got from the Hilton Hotel while we were on vacation!"

Church

A small town had three churches -- and all three were virtually overrun with pesky squirrels.  The first church called a meeting to decide what to do about the squirrels. After much prayer and consideration they determined that God must have wanted the squirrels there, and the church shouldn't interfere with God's divine will.  The second church decided that they were not in a position to harm any of God's creations, so they humanely trapped the squirrels and set them free a few miles outside of town. Three days later, the squirrels were back.  The third church came up with the best and most effective solution: they baptized the squirrels and registered them as members of the church. Now they only see them on Christmas and Easter.

Job Application

I was applying for a job and the employment application clearly stated: "Age of Father (if living)," and the same question for my Mother.  I put down the figures 105 and 94 in the spaces provided. The interviewer asked if my parents were truly that old.  I replied, "No, but they would be if they were still living."

Vet Bills

While waiting at the veterinarian's office, I overheard two women chatting about their dogs.  "What's your dog's name?" asked the first woman.  "Well, we used to call her Pork Chop," answered the second lady. "But after the vet bills we've had for her, we now call her Filet Mignon."

Animals

As the animals left Noah’s ark, Mrs. Noah looked up at the dirty, beat-up, smelly boat and sighed, “It looks like such a wreck. Are we just going to leave it on the mountaintop?”   “Don’t worry about it,” Noah said confidently, “I left the termites on board.”

Friday's Funnies

Facebook

I am trying to make friends outside of Facebook while applying the same principles. Therefore, every day I walk down the street and tell a passersby what I have eaten, how I feel at the moment, what I have done the night before, what I will do later, and with whom. I give them pictures of my family, my dog, and of me gardening, taking things apart in the garage, watering the lawn, standing in front of landmarks, driving around town, having lunch, and doing what anybody and everybody does every day.  I also listen to their conversations, give them the "thumbs up" and tell them I like them.  And it works just like Facebook!  I already have four people following me: two police officers, a private investigator, and a psychiatrist.

Keeping Grandpa

At my grandparent's 50th wedding anniversary, I was looking through a photo album of their marriage ceremony. "Grandma, so many of these styles have come back over the years," I commented.  Grandma never hesitated. "That's why I've kept Grandpa all this time," she said. "I know he'll be back in style again one of these days."

Running Away From Home

A man scolded his son for being so unruly and the child rebelled against his father. He got some of his clothes, his teddy bear and his piggy bank and proudly announced, "I'm running away from home!"  The father calmly decided to look at the matter logically. "What if you get hungry?" he asked.  "Then I'll come home and eat!," bravely declared the child.  "And what if you run out of money?"  "I will come home and get some!" readily replied the child.  The man then made a final attempt, "What if your clothes get dirty?"  "Then I'll come home and let mommy wash them," was the reply.  The man shook his head and exclaimed, "This kid is not running away from home; he's going off to college."

Waiting for the Bus

A person was visiting Washington, DC, for the first time. Unable to locate the Capitol, the person asked a police officer for directions, "Excuse me, officer, how do I get to the Capitol building?"  The officer replied, "Wait here at this bus stop for the number 54 bus. It'll take you right there."  Three hours later, the police officer returned to the same area and, sure enough, the person was still waiting at the same bus stop.  The officer got out of his car and said, "Excuse me, but to get to the Capitol building, I said to wait here for the number 54 bus, and that was three hours ago! Why are you still waiting?"  The person replied, "Don't worry, officer, it won't be long now. The 45th bus just went by!"

Woof

A dog went to a Western Union office, took out a blank form and wrote: "Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof."  The clerk examined the paper and politely told the dog, "There are only nine words here. You could send another 'Woof' for the same price."  The dog replied, "But that would make no sense at all!"

Airheads

Two airheads in California are sitting outside on a cool, clear evening, looking at the moon and talking.  One asks: "Which do you think is farther away ... Florida or the moon?"  The other replies (with eye-roll): "Hellooooooooooo!  Can you see Florida from here??"

Prayers

Little Johnny and his family were having Sunday dinner at his Grandmother's house.  Everyone was seated around the table as the food was being served. When Little Johnny received his plate, he started eating right away.   "Johnny!  Please wait until we say our prayer," said his mother.   "I don't need to," the boy replied.    "Of course, you do," his mother insisted. "We always say a prayer before eating at our house."    "That's at our house." Johnny explained. "But this is Grandma's house and she knows how to cook."

~ I wasn't sleeping. I was trying to pick up my contact lens without hands.

An optimist thinks this is the best of all worlds. A pessimist fears this may be true.

Friday's Funnies

Curiosity

A teacher was finishing up a lesson on the joys of discovery and the importance of curiosity. "Where would we be today," she asked, "if no one had ever been curious?"  One child quietly spoke up from the back of the room. "Still in the Garden of Eden?"

Consistent Season

I heard two high school superintendents from different school systems talking recently. One asked the other how their football season turned out. The superintendent replied, "We had a 5-and-5 season. We lost 5 at home and 5 on the road."

Schoolteacher

In the traffic court of a large city, a young lady was brought before the judge to answer for a ticket given her for driving through a red light. She explained to the judge that she was a schoolteacher and requested an immediate dismissal of her case so she could get to the school on time.  A wild gleam came into the judge’s eye.  “You’re a schoolteacher, hum?” he said. “Ma'am, today I shall realize my lifelong ambition. I've waited years to have a schoolteacher in this court. Sit down at the table and write ‘I went through a red light’ 500 times!”

A Bigger Blessing

A grandmother was headed out the door to go to church one Sunday when she got a call from her daughter. "Would Grandma like to have her three little grandchildren visit while her daughter and son-in-law take a five-day holiday trip?" Grandma was so delighted she put five dollars in the collection basket at church and thanked the Lord. The Sunday after the grandchildren had returned home, she put twenty dollars in the collection.

Weight Lifting?

The father was doubtful of his son's sudden interest to become Charles Atlas. Nevertheless he went with the teenager to the weight-lifting department.  "Please, Dad," begged the boy, "I promise I'll use them every day...."  "I'm not so sure, Danny. You may lose interest in the equipment," his father was quick to point out.  "Ahhhh please, Dad?"  "Besides, it's quite an expense," the father added.  "I promise, Dad, I'll use them...."  Danny finally won, and his Dad paid for the equipment. As the father was leaving the department, he heard his son call out..."What! You mean I have to carry this stuff to the car?"

Today’s Thought

Somebody once told me: "Cheer up, things could be worse." So I cheered up and, sure enough, things got worse.
