hUMOR For August 17th

Exasperation

A couple with three children waited in line at San Francisco's Pier
41 to purchase tickets for a boat trip to Alcatraz. Others watched
with varying degrees of sympathy and irritation as the young children
fidgeted, whined, and punched one another. The frazzled parents
reprimanded them to no avail.

Finally they reached the ticket window. "Five tickets, please," the
father said. "Two round trip, three one way."

Thanks to La Mi -- AIN'T IT FUNNY…
* Ain't it funny... how we set our clocks to arise at
4:00 am or 5:00 am to be at the job by 7:30; yet, when
Sunday comes we can't get to church for the 11:00 a.m.
service to praise the one who gave us the jobs!

* Ain't it funny... how we call God our Father and
Jesus our brother; but find it hard to introduce them
to our family.

* Ain't it funny... how small our sins seem, but how
big "their" sins are.

* Ain't it funny... how we demand justice for others;
but expect mercy from God.

* Ain't it funny... how much difficulty some have
learning the gospel well enough to tell others; but
how simple it is to understand and explain the latest
gossip about someone else.

* Ain't it funny... how we can't think of anything to
say when we pray; but don't have any difficulty
thinking of things to talk about to a friend.

* Ain't it funny... how we are so quick to take
directions from a total stranger when we are lost; but
are hesitant to take God's direction for our lives.

* Ain't it funny... how so many church goers sing
"Standing on the Promises"; but all they do is sit on
the premises.

* Ain't it funny... how people want God to answer
their prayers; but refuse to listen to His counsel.

* Ain't it funny... how it is okay to blame God for
evil and suffering in the world; but it is not
necessary to thank Him for what is good and pleasant.

* Ain't it funny... how when something goes wrong we
cry, "Lord, why me?"; but when something goes right,
we think, "Hey! it must be me!"

* Oh wait... maybe all of this just isn't so "funny"
after all.

A seafood restaurant had a sign in the window that read,
"Big Lobster Tales, $5 each."

Amazed at the great value, a man stopped in and asked the
waitress, "Five dollars each for lobster tails -- is that
correct?"

"Yes," she said. "It's our special just for today."

"Well," he said, "they must be little lobster tails."

"No," she replied, "it's the really big lobster."

"Are you sure they aren't green lobster tails -- and a
little bit tough?"

"No," she said, "it's the really big red lobster."

"Big red lobster tails, $5 each?" he said, amazed. "They
must be old lobster tails!"

"No, they're definitely today's."

"Today's big red lobster tails -- $5 each?" he repeated,
astounded.

"Yes," she insisted.

"Well, here's my five dollars," he said. "I'll take one."

She took the money and led him to a table where she invited
him to sit down. She then sat down next to him, put her hand
on his shoulder, leaned over close to him, and said, "Once
upon a time there was a really big red lobster..."
