"A TIME TO LAUGH"

 

 

"The Best Thing"   Tony wasn't feeling well, and so he went to the doctor to get himself checked.   After a thorough examination, the doctor said, "Well, Tony, based on my examination, the best thing for you is to cut out all sweets and fatty foods, give up alcohol, and stop smoking."   "I see," said Tony. "Well, to be honest with you, Doc, I don't deserve the best. What's the second best?"     "I bought a box of animal crackers and it said on it, 'Do not eat if seal is broken'. So I opened up the box, and sure enough..." Brian Kiley   "How My Husband Got Injured"   Last year when the power mower was broken and wouldn't run, I kept hinting to my husband that he ought to get it fixed, but somehow the message never sank in. Finally I thought of a clever way to make the point.   When my husband arrived home that day, he found me seated in the tall grass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair of sewing scissors.   He watched silently for a short time and then went into the house. He was gone for only a few moments when he came out again. He handed me a toothbrush. "When you finish cutting the grass," he said, "you might as well sweep the sidewalk."   The doctors say he will probably live, but it will be quite a while before the casts will come off!   "Just A Billion"   The next time you hear a politician use the words "billion" casually, think about whether you want that politician spending your tax money.   A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into perspective in one of its releases:   • A billion seconds ago, it was 1959.   • A billion minutes ago, Jesus was alive.   • A billion hours ago, our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.   • A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes at the rate Washington spends it.     "Don't Step On A Duck"   Three women die together in an accident and go to heaven. When they get there, St. Peter says, "We only have one rule here in heaven: Don't step on the ducks!"   So they enter heaven, and sure enough, there are ducks all over the place. It is almost impossible not to step on a duck, and although they try their best to avoid them, the first woman accidentally steps on one.   Along comes St. Peter with the ugliest man she ever saw.   St. Peter chains them together and says, "Your punishment for stepping on a duck is to spend eternity chained to this ugly man!"   The next day, the second woman steps accidentally on a duck and along comes St. Peter, who doesn't miss a thing. With him is another extremely ugly man. He chains them together with the same admonishment as for the first woman.   The third woman has observed all this and, not wanting to be chained for all eternity to an ugly man, is very, VERY careful where she steps. She manages to go months without stepping on any ducks, but one day St. Peter comes up to her with the most handsome man she has ever laid eyes on .. very tall, long eyelashes, muscular, and thin. St. Peter chains them together without saying a word. The happy woman says, "I wonder what I did to deserve being chained to you for all of eternity?"   The guy says, "I don't know about you, but I stepped on a duck!"     "The Truth Always Prevails"   Once there was a little boy who lived in the country. They had to use an outhouse, and the little boy hated it because it was hot in the summer, cold in the winter and stank all the time. The outhouse was sitting on the bank of a creek and the boy determined that one day he would push that outhouse into the creek. One day after a spring rain, the creek was swollen so the little boy decided today was the day to push the outhouse into the creek. So he got a large stick and started pushing. Finally, the outhouse toppled into the creek and floated away. That night his dad told him they were going to the woodshed after supper. Knowing that meant a spanking, the little boy asked why. The dad replied, "Someone pushed the outhouse into the creek today. It was you, wasn't it, son?" The boy answered yes. Then he thought a moment and said, "Dad, I read in school today that George Washington chopped down a cherry tree and didn't get into trouble because he told the truth." The dad replied, "Well son, George Washington's father wasn't in the cherry tree at the time." "Bringing Home The New Baby"   When our second child was on the way, my wife and I attended a pre-birth class aimed at couples who had already had at least one child. The instructor raised the issue of breaking the news to the older child. It went like this:   "Some parents," she said, "tell the older child, 'We loved you so much we decided to bring another child into this family'. But think about that. Ladies, what if your husband came home one day and said, 'Honey, I love you so much I decided to bring home another wife'."   One of the women spoke up immediately. "Does she cook?"     Have a Blessed Day Dave and Barbara     Necessary Legal Information   We do not mail clean-hewmor unsolicited.
