Friday's Funnies


Smile for the DMV

When I went to get my driver's license renewed, our local motor-vehicle bureau was packed. The line inched along for almost an hour until the man ahead of me finally got his license.  He inspected his photo for a moment and commented to the clerk, "I was standing in line so long, I ended up looking pretty grouchy in this picture."  The clerk looked at his picture closely. "It's okay," he reassured the man: "That's how you're going to look when the cops pull you over anyway." 

It's Been Said...

"Shopping with your husband is like hunting with the game warden."

Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace

At a wedding ceremony, the pastor asked if anyone had anything to say concerning the union of the bride and groom, it was their time to stand up and talk, or forever hold their peace.   The moment of utter silence was broken by a young beautiful woman carrying a child. She started walking toward the pastor slowly.  Everything quickly turned to chaos.  The bride slapped the groom.  The groom's mother fainted.  The groomsmen started giving each other looks and wondering how best to help save the situation.  The pastor asked the woman, "Can you tell us why you came forward? What do you have to say?"  The woman replied, "We can't hear in the back."

Signs That You Attend a Small Church

•             You cancel church when the pastor goes on vacation because his family is half the congregation.
•             You meet in the pastor's two-car garage while the sanctuary is being remodeled.
•             The church bus is a minivan that carries seven passengers.
•             The pastor comes to Wednesday night services in his uniform directly from his "other" job.
•             The youth group ages goes to 30.
•             The senior adult age starts at 31.
•             Children's church is canceled when the family with the most kids goes on vacation.
•             The pastor also serves as an usher, pianist and song leader.

Speaking In Tongues

Seen on a blog:  "So, this morning, Sue and I get off the plane in Newark, New Jersey, and I need to find a restroom. As I was walking out of the baggage claim, I stopped a United Airlines worker and said, "We ain't nare been up here. We are frum Gas-TONY-a, Nirth Caroliner. Where is the clostest restroom?" The airlines worker flagged down another female worker, and as she approached, she stuck out her hand and said, "My name is Louisa and I'll be your interpretah while you is here at the airport."

Service Fee

Two brawny men came to install some new floor covering in the kitchen. Once they had moved the stove and refrigerator out of the way, it was not long before the job was done.  As they were getting ready to leave, they were asked to put the heavy appliances back in place. The two men said that would cost an additional $145 service fee, stating it was not in their contract. The homeowner really had no choice but to pay them.  As soon as they left, however, the doorbell rang. It was the two men. They asked the homeowner to move a car that was blocking their van.  The homeowner told them there would be a fee for that: $145.

Umm...

On my birthday I got a really funny card. It joked about how our bodies might be getting older, but our minds remain "tarp as shacks." I wanted to thank the person who sent it, but I can't. They forgot to sign the card.

Church Signs

•             Honk if you love Jesus. Text while driving if you want to meet Him today.
•             Keep using My name in vain and I'll make rush hour longer.
•             Why pay for GPS? Jesus gives directions for free.
•             Be an organ donor. Give your heart to Jesus today.

Lawyer

John grew up in a small town, then moved away to attend college and law school. He decided to come back to his hometown because he could be a big man there. He really wanted to impress everyone. So he returned and opened his new law office.  The first day he saw a man coming up the sidewalk. He decided to make a big impression on this new client when he arrived. As the man came to the door, John picked up the phone. He motioned the man in, while talking: "No. Absolutely not. You tell those clowns in New York that I won't settle this case for less than one million. Yes. The Appeals Court has agreed to hear that case next week. I'll be handling the primary argument and the other members of my team will provide support. Okay. Tell the State Prosecutor that I'll meet with him next week to discuss the details."  This sort of thing went on for almost five minutes. All the while the man sat patiently as John rattled instructions. Finally, John put down the phone and turned to the man, "I'm sorry for the delay, but as you can see, I'm very busy. What can I do for you?"  The man replied, "I was sent by the telephone company to connect your phone line."

In a Rut

I feel like I'm in a rut. Every time I go to bed at night, I find myself just getting up again in the morning.

The English Professor

An English professor was reading Canterbury Tales to his class and noticed that one of his students had fallen asleep. The professor was annoyed enough to send the book spinning through the air and bounce it off the sleeper's skull. Startled awake, the student asked what had hit him.  "That," said the professor, "was a flying Chaucer."

Today’s Though


I called the Psychic Friends Network. They said, "Who's calling?" FAIL.
