Little Vernie's mother knew that her son had been telling a lot of lies as of
late. So she had made arrangements for Little Vernie to go over to talk to
their priest. The priest had a good reputation for helping people who were
compulsive liars.
So Little Vernie's mother asks him if he would go over to the parsonage and
help the priest with some chores. Little Vernie, being a very helpful kid,
went over. Upon answering the door the priest asks Little Vernie if he was at
church Sunday and, of course, he lied and said yes.
"Well," said the priest, "I guess you saw what happened at church Sunday?"
"Yes," said Little Verniue, again lying.
"I guess you saw that big grizzly bear come through the front door and up
the aisle grabbing people from their seats and eating them up, every last
one of them!" said the priest.
"Yea," said Little Vernie.
"Well I guess you saw that little beagle dog come in right behind him," said
the priest, "They stared each other down, and then they met right in the
middle of the church, biting, scratching, and finally that little beagle
killed that big-o-grizzly bear."
The priest looked Little Vernie straight in the eye and asked "Little Vernie,
do you honest to goodness believe that story?"
Little Vernie said without a quiver "I sure do preacher. That was my dog.

My wife's family and I were at a Harding University football game. Every time someone carried the ball or made a tackle, the announcer would broadcast who had made the play.

Driver's License
A mother is driving a little girl to her friend's house for a play date.. "Mommy," the little girl asks, "how old are you?" "Honey, you are not supposed to ask a lady her age," the mother replied. "It's not polite." "OK", the little girl says, "How much do you weigh? " "Now really," the mother says, "those are personal questions and are really none of your business." Undaunted, the little girl asks, "Why did you and Daddy get a divorce?" "That is enough questions, young lady, honestly!" The exasperated mother walks away as the two friends begin to play."My Mom won't tell me anything about her," the little girl says to her friend. "Well," says the friend, "all you need to do is look at her drivers license. It is like a report card, it has everything on it." Later that night the little girl says to her mother, "I know how old you are, you are 32." The mother is surprised and asks, "How did you find that out? "I also know that you weigh 140 pounds." The mother is past surprised and shocked now. "How in heaven's name did you find that out?" "And," the little girl says triumphantly,"I know why you and daddy got a divorce.""Oh really?" the mother asks. "Why?" "Because you got an F in sex."
