A young teenage girl was about to finish her first year of
college. She considered herself to be a very liberal
Democrat but her father was a rather staunch Republican.
One day she was challenging her father on his beliefs and
his opposition to taxes and welfare programs. He stopped her
and asked her how she was doing in school.
She answered that she had a 4.0 GPA but it was really tough.
She had to study all the time, and she never had time to go
out and party. She didn't have time for a boyfriend and
didn't really have many college friends because of spending
all her time studying.
He asked, "How is your friend Mary?" She replied that Mary
was barely getting by. She had a 2.0 GPA and never studied.
She was very popular on campus and went to parties all the
time. She often didn't show up for classes because she was
hung over.
Dad then asked his daughter why she didn't go to the Dean's
office and have 1.0 taken off her 4.0 and give it to her
friend with the 2.0. That way they would both have a 3.0
GPA.
The daughter angrily fired back, "That wouldn't be fair! I
worked really hard for mine and Mary has done nothing."
The father slowly smiled and said, "Welcome to the
Republican Party."

Mr. Peterson, a tourist from Toronto, arrived in Barbados. In an
airport taxi cab, Peterson asked the driver, "Say, is this really a
healthful place?"
"It sure is," the cabby replied. "When I arrived here I couldn't say
one word. I had hardly any hair on my head. I didn't have the
strength to walk across a room, and I had to be lifted out of bed."
"That's wonderful!" said the tourist, "How long have you been here?"

Before I could enroll in my company's medical insurance plan, I needed to fill out a questionnaire. As expected, the form was very thorough, leaving nothing to chance.
One question asked, "Do you think you may need to go to the emergency room within the next three months?"

A minister developed quite a reputation for his sermons, so much so that
everyone in the community came every service. Unfortunately, one weekend a
member had to visit Long Island for his nephew's birthday. But he didn't
want to miss the pastor's sermon. So he decided to hire a stand-in to sit in
the congregation and tape the sermon so he could listen to it when he
returned.
Other congregates saw what was going on, and they also decided to hire their
own stand-ins to tape the sermon so they could play golf or go fishing
instead of going to church. Within a few weeks time there were 500 stand-ins
sitting in the church taping the minister.
The minister got wise to this. The following Sunday he, too, hired a
stand-in that brought a tape recorder to play his prerecorded sermon to the
500 stand-in's in the congregation who dutifully recorded his words on their
machines.
Witnesses said this marked the first incidence in history of "artificial
insermonation."

A member of a certain church, who previously had been attending services
regularly, stopped going. After a few weeks, the pastor decided to visit
him. It was a chilly evening. The pastor found the man at home alone,
sitting before a blazing fire. Guessing the reason for his pastor's visit,
the man welcomed him, led him to a big chair near the fireplace and waited.
The pastor made himself comfortable but said nothing. In the grave silence,
he contemplated the play of the flames around the burning logs.
After some minutes, the pastor took the fire tongs, carefully picked up a
brightly burning ember and placed it to one side of the hearth all alone.
Then he sat back in his chair, still silent. The host watched all this in
quiet fascination.
As the one lone ember's flame diminished, there was a momentary glow and
then its fire was no more. Soon it was cold and "dead as a doornail." Not a
word had been spoken since the initial greeting.
Just before the pastor was ready to leave, he picked up the cold, dead ember
and placed it back in the middle of the fire. Immediately it began to glow
once more with the light and warmth of the burning coals around it.
As the pastor reached the door to leave, his host said, "Thank you so much
for your visit and the fiery sermon. I'll be back in church next Sunday."

An angry God was standing at the foot of Mount Sinai. Moses had just descended. At the foot of the mountain lay the two tablets of the Ten Commandments, shattered in a thousand pieces. "What have you done?" demanded God. "Didn't I tell you to deliver the Ten Commandments to the children of Israel?"
"Yes, Lord," said Moses. "But a man dressed in a brown robe in a flying brown chariot with gold letters on the side appeared to me at the top of the mountain. He told me he would deliver the Ten Commandments to the children of Israel. I thought you sent him."
"I most certainly did not," said God. "What were the letters on the side of this chariot?"
Moses stooped and wrote three letters in the sand. Pointing at them, he pronounced, "Oops" (UPS).

Second man: I think there were ten apples. Adam 8 and Eve ate 2.
Third man: I think there were sixteen apples. Eve 8 and Adam 8 also.
Fourth man: I think all three of you are wrong. If Eve 8 and Adam 82, that would be a total of 90 apples.
Fifth man: You guys don't know how to add at all. According to history, Eve 81 and Adam 82. That would be a total of 163 apples.
Sixth man: Wait a minute! If Eve 81 and Adam 812, that would make a total of 893 apples.
Seventh man: None of you guys understand the problem in the slightest. According to my figuring, if Eve 814 Adam and Adam 8124 Eve, that would be a total of 8,938 apples in the garden.

Hoping to get off with a warning, Mom tried to appear shocked when the trooper walked up to the car.
"I have never been stopped like this before," she said to the officer.
"What do they usually do, ma'am," he asked, "shoot the tires out?"

As the shopping centre's marketing director, I was putting the finishing touches on an ad. I asked Nancy, the newspaper's sales representative, how to spell "eligible." She wrote it down on a card she fished from her purse. I completed the copy, returned the card to her, and she left.
Not long after, I received a call from the manager of one of our shoe stores. He asked if I knew if Nancy was married. I told him I thought so and asked why he was interested. "She just gave me her business card," he said, "and on the back she's written 'eligible'."

What's Good Tonight?
Our family-owned restaurant is the setting for many of our
discussions about how to handle the customer who asks, "What's good tonight?"
Obviously, we would never serve anything we didn't think was good. I
braced myself one Saturday night when I heard the dreaded question
posed to my husband.

A man observed a sign in the window of a restaurant that
read Unique Breakfast, so he walked in and sat down.
The waitress brought him his coffee and asked him what he
wanted.
"What's your Unique Breakfast?" he asked.
"Baked tongue of chicken!" she proudly replied.
"Baked tongue of chicken? Baked tongue of chicken! Do you
have any idea how disgusting that is? I would never even
consider eating anything that came out of a chicken's
mouth!" he fumed.
Undaunted, the waitress asked, "What would you like, then?"
"Just bring me some scrambled eggs," the man replied.

"What was he charged with?"
"I don't know," she sobs."He just said he was calling me on his cell phone."

hUMOR For Nov. 2nd
Nail Biting
Most of us have a bad habit we are constantly trying to break. For
me, it's biting my fingernails. One day I told my husband about my
latest solution: press-on nails.
"Great Idea, Honey," he smiled. "You can eat them straight out of the box."
+++++++++++++++++++
"Dollar Measure"
Our mom needed a new mattress for her antique bed, so my brother, Josh, and I decided to buy her one as a gift. The problem was we weren't sure what to get, because it was an odd size. Fortunately, my brother happened to be visiting my mother one day when I called home. "Measure the bed frame before you leave," I told him.
"I don't have a tape measure."
"You can use a dollar bill," I suggested, "each one is six inches long."
"Can't," he replied after digging through his wallet, "I only have a ten."

Two archeologists, exploring a remote mountain in Tibet came across a huge granite statue which resembled a sitting man. It stood almost 400 foot tall, and its bodily details were accurate down to the fingernails and teeth.
"It looks real enough to talk," says one.
"Lets try," says the other and turning to the statue asks it its name.
No answer.
"How old are you?"
No answer.
Finally, one shouts out, "What is the square root of 64?"
Suddenly, the mountain shakes as the giant statue rise onto its feet and puts it’s hand on it’s chin. Then after about ten seconds, the statue answers in a roaring voice, "Eight."
Of course, says the scientist, "It only stands to reason."

Haircut
The supervisor of my work section recently made a casual comment
about my shaggy mane of hair.
He then went on to extol the virtues of a good haircut, which, he
insisted, makes an elderly man look younger and a younger man seem
more mature.
"How would a haircut make a middle-aged man like me appear?" I asked.
"Still employed," was his answer.
+++++++++++++++++++
At the hardware store where I work, our manager was writing out a bill when
he turned to me and asked, "Hey, what are
these nuts worth?"
A new clerk looked up and said, "I thought we were getting seven bucks and
hour?"
+++++++++++++++++++
A steam locomotive passing through Poland one night was running low on coal.
The engineer said to his fireman, "We're coming to a town, let's stop and
send the porter out to get more coal. Can you see the name of the town on
the depot sign?"
The fireman replied, "It appears to be Danzig in the dark."
And the engineer shouted, "Buy coal, Porter!"
+++++++++++++++++++
The orthopedic surgeon I work for was moving to a new
office, and his staff was helping transport many of the
items.
I sat the display skeleton in the front of my car, his bony
arm across the back of my seat. I hadn't considered the
drive across town. At one traffic light, the stares of the
people in the car beside me became obvious, and I looked
across and explained, "I'm delivering him to my doctor's
office."
The other driver leaned out of his window. "I hate to tell
you, lady," he said, "but I think it's too late!"

hUMOR For Oct 31st Booooooooooooooooooo
As I was packing for my business trip, my three-year-old
daughter was having a wonderful time playing on the bed. At
one point, she said, "Daddy, look at this," and stuck out
two of her fingers.
Trying to keep her entertained, I reached out and stuck her
tiny fingers in my mouth and said, "Daddy's gonna eat your
fingers!" pretending to eat them before I rushed out of the
room again.
When I returned, my daughter was standing on the bed staring
at her fingers with a devastated look on her face. I said,
"What's wrong, honey?"
She replied, "What happened to my booger?"

Because I knew he'd listen to the message, I decided one day at the office
to leave him a reminder on our machine to take out the trash.
When I got home, the trash was out. Oh, and Andrew no longer checks the
answering machine.

Proposal
There were two elderly people living in Trailer Estates, a Florida
mobile home park. He was a widower and she a widow. They had known
one another for a number of years.
One evening there was a community supper in the big activity center.
The two were at the same table, across from one another. As the meal
went on, he made a few admiring glances at her and finally gathered
his courage to ask her, "Will you marry me?"
After about six seconds of 'careful consideration,' she answered.
"Yes. Yes, I will." The meal ended and, with a few more pleasant
exchanges, they went to their respective places.
Next morning, he was troubled. "Did she say 'yes' or did she say
'no'?" He couldn't remember. Try as he would, he just could not
recall. Not even a faint memory. With trepidation, he went to the
telephone and called her. First, he explained that he didn't remember
as well as he used to. Then he reviewed the lovely evening past. As
he gained a little more courage, he inquired, "When I asked if you
would marry me, did you say 'Yes' or did you say 'No'?"
He was delighted to hear her say, "Why, I said, 'Yes, yes I will' and
I meant it with all my heart." Then she continued, "I am so glad that
you called, because I couldn't remember who had asked me."
+++++++++++++++++++
"Lost Baggage"
I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area. So I went to the lost luggage office and told the woman there that my bags never showed up.
She smiled told me not to worry because she was a trained professional and I was in good hands.
"Now," she asked me, "has your plane arrived yet?"

Halloween Kiss
Cabbie speaks nun–sense…
A cabbie picks up a Nun. She gets into the cab, and notices that the very handsome cab driver won't stop staring at her.
She asks him why he is staring.
He replies, “I have a question to ask, but I don't want to offend you.”
She answers, “My son, you cannot offend me. When you're as old as I am and have been a nun as long as I have, you get a chance to see and hear just about everything. I'm sure that there's nothing you could say or ask that I would find offensive.”
“Well, I've always had a fantasy to have a nun kiss me.”
She responds, “Well, let's see what we can do about that: #1, you have to be single and #2, you must be Catholic.”
The cab driver is very excited and says, “Yes, I'm single and Catholic!”
“OK," the nun says. “Pull into the next alley.”
The nun fulfills his fantasy with a kiss that would make a hooker blush. But when they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying.
“My dear child," said the nun, “Why are you crying?”
“Forgive me but I've sinned. I lied and I must confess. I'm married and I'm Jewish.”
The nun says, “That's OK. My name is Kevin and I'm going to a Halloween party.”

There were two elderly people living in Trailer Estates, a Florida
mobile home park. He was a widower and she a widow. They had known
one another for a number of years.
One evening there was a community supper in the big activity center.
The two were at the same table, across from one another. As the meal
went on, he made a few admiring glances at her and finally gathered
his courage to ask her, "Will you marry me?"
After about six seconds of 'careful consideration,' she answered.
"Yes. Yes, I will." The meal ended and, with a few more pleasant
exchanges, they went to their respective places.
Next morning, he was troubled. "Did she say 'yes' or did she say
'no'?" He couldn't remember. Try as he would, he just could not
recall. Not even a faint memory. With trepidation, he went to the
telephone and called her. First, he explained that he didn't remember
as well as he used to. Then he reviewed the lovely evening past. As
he gained a little more courage, he inquired, "When I asked if you
would marry me, did you say 'Yes' or did you say 'No'?"
He was delighted to hear her say, "Why, I said, 'Yes, yes I will' and
I meant it with all my heart." Then she continued, "I am so glad that
you called, because I couldn't remember who had asked me."

Halloween Kiss
Cabbie speaks nun–sense…
A cabbie picks up a Nun. She gets into the cab, and notices that the very handsome cab driver won't stop staring at her.
She asks him why he is staring.
He replies, “I have a question to ask, but I don't want to offend you.”
She answers, “My son, you cannot offend me. When you're as old as I am and have been a nun as long as I have, you get a chance to see and hear just about everything. I'm sure that there's nothing you could say or ask that I would find offensive.”
“Well, I've always had a fantasy to have a nun kiss me.”
She responds, “Well, let's see what we can do about that: #1, you have to be single and #2, you must be Catholic.”
The cab driver is very excited and says, “Yes, I'm single and Catholic!”
“OK," the nun says. “Pull into the next alley.”
The nun fulfills his fantasy with a kiss that would make a hooker blush. But when they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying.
“My dear child," said the nun, “Why are you crying?”
“Forgive me but I've sinned. I lied and I must confess. I'm married and I'm Jewish.”
The nun says, “That's OK. My name is Kevin and I'm going to a Halloween party.”

A: The tides are a fight between the Earth and the Moon. All water tends to flow towards the moon, because there is no water on the moon, and nature hates a vacuum. I forget where the sun joins in this fight.

A: Keep it in the cow.
A monsoon is a French gentleman.
Blood flows down one leg and up the other.
For a dog bite, put the dog away for several days. If he has not recovered, then kill it.

as well as he used to. Then he reviewed the lovely evening past. As
he gained a little more courage, he inquired, "When I asked if you
would marry me, did you say 'Yes' or did you say 'No'?"
He was delighted to hear her say, "Why, I said, 'Yes, yes I will' and
I meant it with all my heart." Then she continued, "I am so glad that

Halloween Kiss
Cabbie speaks nun–sense…
A cabbie picks up a Nun. She gets into the cab, and notices that the very handsome cab driver won't stop staring at her.
She asks him why he is staring.
He replies, “I have a question to ask, but I don't want to offend you.”
She answers, “My son, you cannot offend me. When you're as old as I am and have been a nun as long as I have, you get a chance to see and hear just about everything. I'm sure that there's nothing you could say or ask that I would find offensive.”
“Well, I've always had a fantasy to have a nun kiss me.”
She responds, “Well, let's see what we can do about that: #1, you have to be single and #2, you must be Catholic.”
The cab driver is very excited and says, “Yes, I'm single and Catholic!”
“OK," the nun says. “Pull into the next alley.”
The nun fulfills his fantasy with a kiss that would make a hooker blush. But when they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying.
“My dear child," said the nun, “Why are you crying?”
“Forgive me but I've sinned. I lied and I must confess. I'm married and I'm Jewish.”
The nun says, “That's OK. My name is Kevin and I'm going to a Halloween party.”

hUMOR For Oct. 27th
A new hair salon opened up for business right across the
street from the old established hair cutter's place.
The owners of the new salon put up a big bold sign that
read: "WE GIVE SEVEN DOLLAR HAIR CUTS!"
Not to be outdone, the old Master Barber put up his own
sign: "WE FIX SEVEN DOLLAR HAIR CUTS!"
+++++++++++++++++++
After months of negotiation with the authorities, a Talmudist from Odessa
was granted permission to visit Moscow. He boarded the train and found an
empty seat.
At the next stop a young man got on and sat next to him. The scholar looked
at the young man and thought This fellow doesn't look like a peasant, and if
he isn't a peasant he probably comes from this district. If he comes from
this district, then he must be Jewish because this is, after all, a Jewish
district.
On the other hand, if he is a Jew, where could he be going? I'm the only Jew
in our district who has permission to travel to Moscow.
Ahh? But just outside Moscow there is a little village called Samvet, and
Jews don't need special permission to go there. But why would he be going to
Samvet?
He's probably going to visit one of the Jewish families there, but how many
Jewish families are there in Samvet? Only two - the Bernsteins and the
Steinbergs. The Bernsteins are a terrible family, and a nice looking fellow
like him must be visiting the Steinbergs. But why is he going? The
Steinbergs have only daughters, so maybe he's their son-in-law.
But if he is, then which daughter did he marry? They say that Sarah married
a nice lawyer from Budapest, and Esther married a
businessman from Zhitomer, so it must be Sarah's husband. Which means that
his name is Alexander Cohen, if I'm not mistaken. But if he comes from
Budapest, with all the anti-Semitism they have there, he must have changed
his name.
What's the Hungarian equivalent of Cohen? Kovacs. But if they allowed him to
change his name, he must have some special status. What could it be? A
doctorate from the University.
At this point the scholar turns to the young man and says, "How do you do,
Dr. Kovacs?"
"Very well, thank you, sir." answered the startled passenger. But how is it
that you know my name?"
"Oh," replied the Talmudist, "it was obvious."
+++++++++++++++++++
At times I was asked to provide references for former employees by companies
considering hiring them. On one firm's form was the question: "Was this
person a steady worker?"
Since the guy was a well known do-nothing, I entered in the space provided,
"Not just steady, but motionless."
+++++++++++++++++++
Parachuting
On our first day of training for a charity parachute jump, the instructor made
an important point. "Start preparing for landing when you're at 300 feet."
One student asked, "How do you know when you're at 300 feet"?
"A good question. At 300 feet, you can recognize the faces of people
on the ground."
She thought about this for a moment before saying, "What happens if
there's no one there I know"?
+++++++++++++++++++
"Facilities Memo"
My colleagues and I recently received this email from the facilities department:
"Due to construction, your office may be either cooler or warmer than usual on Tuesday.
Please dress accordingly."

"God does not ask your ability or your inability. He asks only your availability."

"Forgiveness"
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.
I recently overheard a boss talking to one of his employees at a restaurant recently. "Was your wife mad when you got home so late last night?" the boss asked.
"Yes, she was plumb historical," the employee replied.
"Don't you mean hysterical?"
"No, I mean historical. She brought up things that happened forty years ago."

"Electricity can be dangerous. I once watched my nephew try to stick a penny
into a plug. Whoever said a penny doesn't go far didn't see him shoot across
that floor. I told him he was grounded." - Tim Allen
street from the old established hair cutter's place.

At times I was asked to provide references for former employees by companies
considering hiring them. On one firm's form was the question: "Was this
person a steady worker?"
Since the guy was a well known do-nothing, I entered in the space provided,
"Not just steady, but motionless."

Parachuting
On our first day of training for a charity parachute jump, the instructor made
an important point. "Start preparing for landing when you're at 300 feet."
One student asked, "How do you know when you're at 300 feet"?
"A good question. At 300 feet, you can recognize the faces of people
on the ground."
She thought about this for a moment before saying, "What happens if
there's no one there I know"?

I recently overheard a boss talking to one of his employees at a restaurant recently. "Was your wife mad when you got home so late last night?" the boss asked.
"Yes, she was plumb historical," the employee replied.
"Don't you mean hysterical?"
"No, I mean historical. She brought up things that happened forty years ago."

Soccer Identity?
My 3 year old son recently had his first soccer game. The team
consisted of 3- and 4-year olds, many of whom our son did not
know. We took plenty of pictures, and after the game we used the
photos to help him learn the names of his new friends and coaches.
"Who is this?" I asked pointing at one little boy.
"That's my friend Mason" came the reply.
"That's right! And who is this?" I asked pointing at a little girl.
"I don't know," came the reply.
"That's Madison. And who is this?" I asked pointing at Madison's
daddy, the coach.
"I don't know," came the reply.
"That's Coach Juan. And who is this?" I asked pointing at Mason's
mommy, Paige, the assistant coach.
In a small tentative voice the reply came,
"Coach Two?"

There was once a small rural community--so small, in fact,
that the only church in town was a small Baptist church
whose pastor had to double up as the local barber to make
ends meet.
A man living in this small community had invested wisely and
was enjoying his newfound comfort. This man got out of bed
one day to go through his daily routine. He looked into the
mirror as he was about to shave and said to himself, "I make
enough money now that I don't have to shave myself. I'll go
down to the barber and let him shave me from now on." So he
did.
He walked into the barber shop and found the preacher/barber
was out calling on shut-ins. The barber's wife, Grace, said,
"I usually do the shaves anyway. Sit down and I'll shave
you." So he did.
She shaved him and he asked, "How much do I owe you?"
"Twenty-five dollars," Grace replied. The man thought that
was somewhat expensive and that he might have to get a shave
every other day. Nonetheless, he paid Grace and went on his
way.
The next day, he woke up and found his face to be just as
smooth as the day before. No need for a shave today, he
thought. Well, it was a $25 shave.
The next day he awoke to find his face as smooth as a baby's
bottom. Wow! he thought. It amazed him, as he normally would
need to shave daily to keep his clean-shaven business look.
Day 3, he woke up and his face was still as smooth as the
minute after Grace had finished. Now, somewhat perplexed,
the man went down to the barber shop to ask some questions.
This particular day, the pastor was in, and the man asked
him why his face was as smooth as it was the first day it
was shaven.
The kind old pastor gently explained, "Friend, you were
shaved by Grace, and once shaved, always shaved."

Safety at Work
Safety is a major concern at the manufacturing company where I work.
So I'm constantly preaching caution to the workers I supervise.
"Does anyone know," I asked a few guys, "what the speed limit is in
our parking lot?"
The long silence that followed was interrupted when one of them piped
up. "That depends. Do you mean coming to work or leaving?"

I don't say my golf game is bad, but if I grew tomatoes,
they'd come up sliced.
I've spent most of my life golfing. The rest I've just
wasted.
They call it golf because all the other four-letter words
were taken.
Golf is played by twenty million mature American men whose
wives think they are out having fun.
It took me seventeen years to get three thousand hits in
baseball. I did it in one afternoon on the golf course.
Golf is a game in which you yell "fore," shoot six, and
write down five.
Give me golf clubs, fresh air, and a beautiful partner, and
you can keep the clubs and the fresh air.
Have you ever noticed what golf spells backwards?
The only time my prayers are never answered is on the golf
course.
Reverse every natural instinct and do the opposite of what
you are inclined to do, and you will probably come very
close to having a perfect golf swing.
If you think it's hard to meet new people, try picking up
the wrong golf ball.
It's good sportsmanship not to pick up lost golf balls while
they are still rolling.
Golf is a game in which one endeavors to control a ball with
implements ill-adapted for the purpose.
Gone golfin' ... be back about dark thirty.
The difference in golf and government is that in golf you
can't improve your lie.
Golf is a game invented by the same people who think music
comes out of a bagpipe.

Eric had been a waiter ever since he was in high school. Now in his fifties,
he still served people their meals in the same restaurant he loved so
dearly. One day, though, Eric suffered a fatal heart attack.
His grief-stricken wife, Fannie, was also a firm believer in spiritualism,
and was certain that she would be able to talk to her departed husband's
spirit. For months she attempted to contact him through an assorted number
of psychics and spiritualists, but all to no avail.
One night, while thinking it over, she realized that the reason she had so
much trouble was because his spirit would remain haunting the place where he
spent most of his time: the restaurant! She called up the restaurant and
spoke to his old boss. The man, willing to do anything to comfort a late
employee's widow, agreed to let her stage a séance at the restaurant
after closing time.
The night of the séance, Fannie sat at a table, clearing her mind, and
softly she spoke: "Eric, can you hear me?"
"Hello, Fannie. How's by you?" came the unmistakable sound of Eric's voice.
"Eric, I can barely hear you. Could you speak a little louder?"
"I can't speak louder. It was always bad for my heart and look what happened
when I did!"
"Well, can you move a little closer to me?"
"No, that I cannot do."
"Why not?"
"That's not my table."

It was very crowded at the supermarket, and the customer in front of me had

the customer. "That was supposed to happen in your driveway!"

"Pole Power"
I was getting ready for work when I looked out the window and saw the utility company starting to erect a pole in front of my house. They were going to position it directly in front of my picture window. No way, absolutely no way, was I going to permit this. I gulped down my coffee and went directly to the crew supervisor and told him, in no uncertain terms, that I was not going to stand for his crew putting that stupid electrical pole directly in front of my picture window.
He took out a plot map, a map for pole locations and a right of way document. He went on to explain that the chosen location was the best spot for the pole. I told him it was not the best location for me and that when I came home from work that day I certainly did not expect to see that pole in front of my window.
He asked where I did want them to put it and I told him I didn't give a hoot, as long as it was not in front of my window. I felt pretty smug as I drove off to work because I felt I got my point across. I knew he was afraid to put it there now.
Ah, the feeling of power; at least until I got home and found the pole in the middle of my driveway.

I had an extended tour of duty in Okinawa in 1958 and was unable to bring my

received a letter from my seven-year-old son.

John."
I was relieved to learn he had made a spelling error. He was referring to
the recently named Pope John XXIII.

A Methodist minister meets three Baptist deacons on the golf course and invites them to come to his church some Sunday. Not too many weeks thereafter and just as services are starting, they show up.
Attendance was good in the small Methodist church and there wasn't a pew available. Several church members were already seated on folding chairs. When the minister, just starting the service, saw the three Baptist deacons enter, he leaned down from the pulpit and whispered to the nearest usher, "Please get three chairs for my Baptist friends in the back."
The usher, hard of hearing, leaned closer and said, "I beg your pardon?"
"Get three chairs for my Baptist friends," repeated the minister. The usher strained closer with a puzzled look still on his face.
Once more the minister tried, speaking slowly and distinctly. "Three chairs. For the Baptists," he enunciated.
The usher's face lit up in comprehension, and he turned to face the congregation.
"All right, everybody," he called out to the assembled worshipers. "Three cheers for the Baptists!"

"Vendor Problem"
In a software design meeting, we were using typical technical jargon to discuss a data exchange interface with a vendor. One co-worker said the programming we had ordered was delayed because the vendor was suffering from a "severe nonlinear waterfowl issue."
Curious, the team leader raised his eyebrows and asked, "What exactly is that?"
The programmer replied, "They don't have all their ducks in a row."

"Applause"
A famous football coach was on vacation with his family in Maine. When they walked into a movie theater and sat down, the handful of people there applauded. He thought to himself, "I can't believe it. People recognize me all the way up here."
Then a man came over to him and said, "Thanks for coming. They won't start the movie unless we have ten paying people or more."

CleanPun - "Three Chairs"
A Methodist minister meets three Baptist deacons on the golf course and invites them to come to his church some Sunday. Not too many weeks thereafter and just as services are starting, they show up.
Attendance was good in the small Methodist church and there wasn't a pew available. Several church members were already seated on folding chairs. When the minister, just starting the service, saw the three Baptist deacons enter, he leaned down from the pulpit and whispered to the nearest usher, "Please get three chairs for my Baptist friends in the back."
The usher, hard of hearing, leaned closer and said, "I beg your pardon?"
"Get three chairs for my Baptist friends," repeated the minister. The usher strained closer with a puzzled look still on his face.
Once more the minister tried, speaking slowly and distinctly. "Three chairs. For the Baptists," he enunciated.
The usher's face lit up in comprehension, and he turned to face the congregation.
"All right, everybody," he called out to the assembled worshipers. "Three cheers for the Baptists!"
