Would it be Right
Posted by: bigguyhereagain <bigguyhereagain@...>
On his way out of church, Frank stopped
at the door to speak to the
minister. "Would it be right,"
he asked, "for a person to profit from
the mistakes of another?"
"Absolutely not!" replied the pastor.
"In that case," said the young man,
"I wonder if you'd consider
returning the hundred dollars I paid
you to marry my wife and me last July."

O== Church Restoration Project ==O
There was a tradesman, a painter named Jack, who was very interested in
making a dollar where he could. So he often would thin down his paint to
make it go a wee bit further. As it happened, he got away with this for
some time. Eventually the local church decided to do a big restoration
project. Jack put in a painting bid and, because his price was so
competitive, he got the job. And so he started, erecting the trestles and
putting up the planks, and buying the paint and thinning it down with
turpentine.
Jack was up on the scaffolding, painting away, the job nearly done, when
suddenly there was a horrendous clap of thunder. The sky opened and the
rain poured down, washing the thin paint from all over the church and
knocking Jack off the scaffold to land on the lawn. Jack was no fool. He
knew this was a judgment from the Almighty, so he fell on his knees and
cried, "Oh, God! Forgive me! What should I do?" And from the thunder, a
mighty Voice spoke, "Repaint! Repaint! And thin no more!"

O== TOASTER OVEN ==O
One of my daughter's wedding presents was a toaster oven.
Soon after the honeymoon, she and her husband tried it out. Almost
immediately, smoke billowed out of the toaster oven.
"Get the owner's manual!" her husband shouted.
"I can't find it anywhere!" she cried, searching through the box.
"Oops!" came a voice from the kitchen. "Well, the English muffin
is fine, but the owner's manual is burnt to a crisp."
