Asking for a raise
“I have to have a raise,” the man said to his boss. “Three
other companies are after me.” “Is that
so?” asked the boss. “What other companies are after you?” “The electric company, the telephone company,
and the gas company.”
Facebook
A new report found that Facebook has created more than
450,000 jobs. Unfortunately, photos posted on Facebook have ended 550,000 jobs.
The Deterrent
While visiting a friend who was in the hospital, I noticed several of the nurses were wearing a pin designed to look like an apple. I asked one nurse what the pin signified. "Nothing," she said with a smile. "It's just to keep the doctors away."
Church Attendance
A man who hadn't attended church in years suddenly began attending faithfully on Sunday mornings instead of going fishing as was his normal habit. The pastor was highly gratified and at the end of service one morning told him, "How wonderful it makes me feel to see you at services with your good wife!" "Well, Preacher," said the fisherman, "Quite honestly, it's a matter of choice. I'd much rather hear your sermon than hers."

New baby
One Monday evening a Jessica found her husband Mike with his
head cocked looking at their baby’s cot. Silently she watched him. As Mike
twisted and turned looking at at their infant, Jessica could see on Mike’s face
a mixture of emotions: disbelief, doubt, joy, surprise, enchantment and skepticism. Mike did not usually show his emotions and
his unusual display brought tears to her eyes. Jessica put her her arm around
her husband and asked. ‘A penny for your thoughts.’ ‘It’s amazing!’ Mike replied. ‘I just can’t
work out how Kiddicare are able to make a cot like that for only $49.99.’

Two robins
Two robins were sitting in a tree. “I’m really hungry”, said
the first one. “Me, too” said the
second. “Let’s fly down and find some lunch.”
They flew to the ground and found a nice plot of plowed ground full of
worms. They ate and ate and ate and ate ’til they could eat no more. “I’m so
full I don’t think I can fly back up to the tree”, said the first one. “Me either. Let’s just lay here and bask in
the warm sun”, said the second. “O.K.”
said the first. They plopped down, basking in the sun. No sooner than they had fallen asleep, a big
fat tom cat snuck up and gobbled them up. As he sat washing his face after his
meal, he thought, “I love baskin’ robins.”
Lessons learned
A mother was preparing pancakes for her sons, Kevin 5, and
Ryan 3. The boys began to argue over who would get the first pancake. Their mother saw the opportunity for a moral
lesson. "If Jesus were sitting here, He would say, 'Let my brother have
the first pancake, I can wait.'" Kevin
turned to his younger brother and said, "Ryan, you be Jesus!"
