I was the substitute teacher for a second-grade math class that was
learning about groups. In one exercise, pupils were asked to label a
group of items according to their common characteristics. Pictured
were onion rings, doughnuts, a bundt cake, and ring cookies. The
correct answer would have been that all the items have holes in the center.
But one health-conscious boy's response was, "All of those things
contain too much cholesterol."

"In the Fitting Room"
My girlfriend took her five-year-old daughter shopping with her. The little girl watched her mother try on outfit after outfit, exclaiming every time, "Mommy, you look beautiful."
A woman in the next fitting room called out, "May I borrow your daughter for a moment?"

We are all used to the conveniences of a modern bank.
While there have been money lenders throughout the ages, full service banks are a relatively new phenomenon. Molan Cache is usually considered the man who developed modern banking as we know it today. He enlisted the aid of Tomas Benes, the Count of Prague and chief financial advisor of King Charles II. The two were able to convince the Bohemian monarch to finance this new experiment in banking.
So really, credit should go to a Czech king, a count and Cache.

"Prison Sign Fail"
Featured Illustration items are well suited for introducing or illuminating a point in a sermon, speech, or devotional. Funny, moving, or perhaps even graphic, the point of them is the point you make with them.

Seen on a sign outside the Clinton Correctional Facility, a maximum security prison in Dannemora, New York:
"The Dannemora fire department reminds you it's fire prevention week. Practice your escape plan."
