Easter

One Easter Sunday morning as the pastor was preaching a children's sermon, he reached into his bag of props and pulled out an egg. He pointed at the egg and asked the children, "What's in here?"  "I know, I know!" a little boy exclaimed, "Pantyhose!"

Jelly Belly’s

My pastor and his extended family were playing the game Jelly Belly's Bean Boozled at a holiday gathering. (In the game you spin and it lands on a jellybean color with two possible flavors - one good and one bad. For instance, black could be licorice or skunk spray. You have to eat it without knowing which it will be.)

During the game his 8-year-old grandson spun the color for pear or boogers. The grandson was a bit skittish about eating the jellybean. His father leaned over to him and whispered, "Son, it shouldn't be bad. You eat your boogers all the time."

To which his son promptly replied, "Yeah Dad, but I hate pears."

Today’s Thought

People used to laugh at me when I would say "I want to be a comedian", well nobody's laughing now.

Friday's Funnies

So Busy

I have so many problems that if a new one comes along today, it will be at least two weeks before I can worry about it.

Positively Negative

A linguistics professor was lecturing to his class one day. "In English," he said, "A double negative forms a positive. In some languages, though, such as Russian, a double negative is still a negative. However, there is no language wherein a double positive can form a negative." A voice from the back of the room piped up, "Yeah, right."

Super Bowl Postscript

My mother hates sports, so after being forced to go to a football game with her grandchildren, this was her conclusion: Football consists of twenty-two men on the field desperately in need of a rest and 40,000 in the stands desperately in need of exercise.


Building Plans

Recently, when a hospital panel, made up of doctors, was asked to vote on adding a new wing to their hospital, this is what happened....

The allergists voted to scratch it.
The dermatologists preferred no rash moves.
The gastroenterologists had a gut feeling about it.
The neurologists thought the administration had a lot of nerve.
The obstetricians stated they were laboring under a misconception.
The ophthalmologists considered the idea short-sighted.
The parasitologists said, "Well, if you encyst."
The pathologists yelled, "Over my dead body!"
The pediatricians said, "Grow up."
The proctologists said, "We are in arrears."
The psychiatrists thought it was madness.
The surgeons decided to wash their hands of the whole thing.
The radiologists could see right through it.
The internists thought it was a hard pill to swallow.
The plastic surgeons said, "This puts a whole new face on the matter."
The podiatrists thought it was a big step forward.
The urologists felt the scheme wouldn't hold water.
The anesthesiologists thought the whole idea was a gas.
And the cardiologists didn't have the heart to say no.
And so… the new wing didn't fly!

Done With Class

Even though I'm well into my 30s, I still stop by my parents’ house to mow their lawn. One afternoon the young kid next door was cutting his grass at the same time. "It's punishment for skipping a day of school," he explained. Then he asked me, "Why are you still doing your folks' yard?" "Because I once cut a class when I was your age," I said trying to keep a straight face. I'm told he's had perfect attendance ever since.

Golf Shot

It was a sunny Saturday morning and Joe was beginning his pre-shot routine, visualizing his upcoming shot when a voice came over the clubhouse loudspeaker: "Would the gentleman on the woman's tee please back up to the men's tee, please!"  Joe was still deep in his routine, seemingly impervious to the interruption. Again the announcement: "Would the man on the women's tee kindly back up the men's tee!"  Joe had had enough. He shouted, "Would the announcer in the clubhouse kindly shut up and let me play my second shot!"

Leftovers

Three wives were bemoaning their husbands' attitudes towards leftovers:
"It gets rough," one said. "My husband is a TV producer and he calls them reruns."

"That's nothing compared to me," said the third lady. "My husband is a mortician. He calls them remains!"

No Pets Allowed

Two buddies were out for a Saturday stroll. One had a Doberman and the other had a Chihuahua. As they sauntered down the street, the guy with the Doberman said to his friend, "Let's go over to that restaurant and get something to drink."  The guy with the Chihuahua said, "We can't go in there. We've got dogs with us."  The one with the Doberman said, "Just follow my lead." They walked over to the restaurant and the guy with the Doberman put on a pair of dark glasses and started to walk into the restaurant.  The waiter at the door said, "Sorry, Mac, no pets allowed."  The man with the Doberman said, "You don't understand. This is my Seeing-Eye dog."  The waiter said, "A Doberman pinscher?"  The man said, "Yes, they're using them now. They're very good."  The waiter said, "OK then, come on in."  The buddy with the Chihuahua figured he'd try it too so he put on a pair of dark glasses and started to walk into the restaurant. He knew his story would be a bit more unbelievable. Once again the waiter said, "Sorry, pal, no pets allowed."  The man with the Chihuahua said, "You don't understand. This is my Seeing-Eye dog."  The waiter said, "A Chihuahua?"  The man with the Chihuahua said, "A Chihuahua?!? A Chihuahua?!? They gave me a Chihuahua??

Leftovers

The minister's wife was a wonder at conserving food and rarely had to throw away a bit of it. At one meal she gave her pastor husband nothing but leftovers that the parson viewed with great disdain. He began to pick at the food, causing his wife to say, "Dear, you forgot the blessing." "Listen, sweetheart, if you can show me one item that hasn't been blessed at least two times, I can't see what another prayer can do for it."
