When we take our dog on a car journey, we carry his drinking water in a gin bottle. On one occasion we stopped for lunch and let him out of the car. Pouring some water from the bottle into his bowl, I noticed a man watching with fascination.

He came over to me and whispered, “I hope that you’re not going to let him drive!”

Little Hope was practicing the violin in the living room while her father was trying to read in the den.

The family dog was lying in the den, and as the screeching sounds of little Hope’s violin reached his ears, he began to howl loudly.

The father listened to the dog and the violin as long as he could. Then he jumped up and yelled above the noise, “Can’t you play something the dog doesn’t know?!”

A young man called his mother and announced excitedly that he had just met the woman of his dreams. Now what should he do?

His mother had an idea: “Why don’t you send her flowers, and on the card invite her to your apartment for a home-cooked meal?”

He thought this was a great strategy, and a week later, the woman came to dinner. His mother called the next day to see how things had gone.

“I was totally humiliated,” he moaned. “She insisted on washing the dishes.”

“What’s wrong with that?” asked his mother.

“We hadn’t started eating yet.”

I didn’t mean to gain weight; it happened by snaccident.

“You probably got the cheaper gas,” he said. “That could account for the roughness of the engine.”

“No, the gas wasn’t cheaper!” she replied indignantly.

“Well, how much did it cost?” asked the husband probingly.

“It cost the same as always.” said the wife.

“I told the man to put in the usual ten dollars worth.”

As they continued home, my sister blurted out, “Isn’t it hard to believe that I have a job that pays this much money?”

Three nurses went to heaven and were awaiting their turn with St. Peter to plead their case to enter the pearly gates.

The first nurse said, “I worked in an emergency room. We tried our best to help patients, even though occasionally we did lose one. I think I deserve to go to heaven.” St. Peter looked at her file and admitted her to heaven.

The second nurse said, “I worked in an operating room. It was a very high-stress environment, and we did our best. Sometimes the patients were too sick and we would lose them, but overall we tried very hard.” St. Peter looked at her file and admitted her to heaven.

The third nurse said, “I was a case manager for an HMO.”

St. Peter looked at her file. He pulled out a calculator and started punching away at it furiously, constantly going back to the nurse’s file. After a few minutes, St. Peter looked up, smiled, and said, “Congratulations! You’ve been admitted to heaven … for five days!”

Not used to this practice at home, Sean said, “No! I don’t want to!”

My friend remained calm. “Well, at Grandma’s house, we do say thank you before we eat.”

“You can’t make me,” protested Sean.

Determined to win this battle, his grandmother said more emphatically, “If we don’t pray, we don’t eat.”

“Well,” the youngster replied, “I would say it if you had made mashed potatoes.”

“No,” said the boy. “This painting is wider, so it’ll cover the three holes I put in the wall.”—–

The fourth-grade teacher had to leave the room for a few minutes.

A minister was called away unexpectedly by the illness of a close family member. He entrusted his new assistant with filling the pulpit. The Pastor’s wife stayed home. When he returned, the Pastor asked his wife what she thought of the young man’s sermon.

“The poorest I’ve ever heard,” she said. “There was nothing in it, nothing at all. It didn’t even make sense. It was very unorganized. I was disappointed.”

Later that day, the concerned minister met his assistant and asked him, “How’d the Sunday service and sermon go? Did all go well? How did you manage?”

“All went very well, sir, absolutely wonderful,” he said. “I didn’t have time to prepare a new sermon of my own on such short notice, so I got on your computer and pulled up one of your old sermons from last year.”

A father worked as an accountant for the Air National Guard.

Despite a regular adequate income he had a “poor” mindset, always unhappy about money matters and very vocal about it.

One year at an air show, in a crowd of many close-by people, his daughter looked up at him and said, “Dad, what do you do out here?”

He answered with a smile, “I pay the bills.”

She looked at him in obvious dismay, looked around, looked back at him, and announced (to the delight of all around), “No wonder we’re so poor!”

There was a feud between the Pastor and the Choir Director of The Hicksville Southern Baptist Church.

It seems the first hint of trouble came when the Pastor preached on “dedicating yourselves to service” and the Choir Director chose to sing: “I Shall Not Be Moved.”

Trying to believe it was a coincidence, the Pastor put the incident behind him.

The next Sunday he preached on “giving.” Afterwards, the choir squirmed as the Director led them in the hymn: “Jesus Paid It All.”

By this time, the Pastor was losing his temper. Sunday morning attendance swelled as the tension between the two built. A large crowd showed up the next week to hear his sermon on “the sin of gossiping.”

Would you believe the Choir Director selected: “I Love To Tell The Story.”

There was no turning back. The following Sunday the Pastor told the congregation that unless something changed he was considering resignation. The entire church gasped when the Choir Director led them in: “Why Not Tonight.”

Truthfully, no one was surprised when the Pastor resigned a week later; explaining that Jesus had led him there and Jesus was leading him away.

The Choir Director could not resist: “What A Friend We Have In Jesus.”
