Manners

A three-year-old had been told several times to get ready for bed. The last time his mom told him, she was very insistent. His response was, "Yes, sir!" Correcting him, she said, "You would say, 'yes, sir,' to a man. I am a lady, and you would say 'yes, ma'am,' to a lady." To quiz him on this lesson, she then asked him, "What would you say to Daddy?" "Yes, sir!" came the reply. "Then what would you say to Mama?" "Yes, ma'am!" he proudly answered. "Good job! Now, what would you say to Grandma?" He lit up and said, "Can I have a cookie?"

Two cab drivers met. "Hey," asked one, "what's the idea of painting one side of your cab red and the other side blue?" "Well," the other responded, "when I get into an accident, you should see how all the witnesses contradict each other."

Time Out

A couple of days later, the doctor spoke to Morris and said, "You're really doing great, aren't you?" Morris replied, "Just doing what you said, Doc: 'Get a hot mamma and be cheerful.'"

My son is seven years old today, and we live at number seven, Seventh Avenue." "Let me guess," Jon interrupted. "You put everything you had on the seventh horse in the seventh race."

A retiring pastor was saying farewell to his congregation at the church doors for the last time. He shook the hand of an elderly lady as she walked out. She said, "Your successor won't be as good as you."  "Nonsense," said the pastor, in a flattered tone.  "No, really," said the old lady, "I've been here under five different ministers, and each one has been worse than the last."

Friday's Funnies

Oblivious

A young man was sitting next to me in one of the two chairs provided for men outside the ladies fitting room in our local department store. After 30 minutes and 6 changes of outfits, the fellow's wife came out of the changing room one more time. He looked at her and immediately said, "That looks great on you! Get that one."  "Honey," she replied, "this is what I was wearing when we came in."

Getting Older

-          Don't irritate old people. The older we get the less "Life in prison" is a deterrent.

-          I really don't mind getting older, but my body is taking it badly.

-          I miss the 90's when bread was still good for you and no one knew what kale was.

-          Do you ever get up in the morning, look in the mirror and think "That can't be accurate."

-          I want to be 14 again and ruin my life differently. I have new ideas.

-          As I watch this generation try to rewrite our history, one thing I'm  sure of....it will be misspelled and have no punctuation.

-          I thought getting old would take longer.

-          Confuse your doctor by putting on rubber gloves at the same time he does.

-          My wife asked me to take her to one of those restaurants where they make food right in front of you. I took her to Subway. That's when the fight started.

-           Me: Sobbing my heart out, "I can't see you anymore.....I'm not going to let you hurt me again." Trainer: "It was one sit-up. You did one sit-up."

Excuses

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.  So 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."

Diet Buddies

We can be dieting buddies and help each other out. And when I feel the urge to drive out and get a burger and fries, I'll call you first." "Wonderful," Mary replied. "I'll go with you."

Fire Training

At a training session in the fire station, the team was assembled around the kitchen table. The training officer was discussing the behavior of fire: "You pull up to a house and notice puffs of smoke coming from the eaves, blackened out windows and little or no visible flame. What does this tell you?" he asked. Expecting to hear that the house is in a possible back draft situation, a condition very dangerous to fire fighters, he instead heard from one quick wit, "You got the right place."

Grandkids

While out bicycling one day with my eight-year-old granddaughter, I got a little wistful.  "In ten years," I began, "you'll want to be with your friends and you won't go walking, biking, and swimming with me like you do now."  Carolyn shrugged, "That's okay, because in ten years you'll be too old to do all those things anyway."

Pastor Appreciation

A young boy called the pastor of a local church and asked him to come by to pray for his mother, who was very ill with the flu.  The pastor knew the family and was aware they were members of another church down the road. So the pastor asked, "Shouldn't you be asking Brother Simon at your church to come by to pray with your mom?"  The young boy replied, "Yeah, but we didn't want to take the chance that he might catch whatever it is that Mom has."

Today’s Thought

Apparently RSVP'ing to a wedding invitation "Maybe next time" isn't the correct response.

Hearing Request

During a revival meeting, an evangelist asked the people in line what they needed.  One man's request was for his hearing. The evangelist spit on his finger, put it in the man's ear, prayed for him and then asked him, "How's your hearing now?"  He said, "I don't know - it's next Tuesday."

 

In The Case Of An Emergency

A married couple enjoyed their fishing boat, but it was always the husband who was behind the wheel. He was concerned about what might happen in an emergency.  So one day out on the lake he said to his wife, "Honey, take the wheel... Pretend that I am having a heart attack. You must get the boat safely to shore and dock it."  So she drove the boat to shore and docked it. Later that evening, the wife walked into the living room. She sat down next to her husband, picked up the newspaper, and said, "Honey, go into the kitchen. Pretend I'm having a heart attack - cook dinner and wash the dishes."
