Well Bill went and bought some paint and started painting the church. He discovered that he was using more paint than he expected so he added some thinner to the paint. Well it still covered but not as well as it did at first. He was still using more paint than he wanted to use so he added still more thinner to the paint. Well, the paint was too thin to cover well but Bill still kept on painting. All of the sudden there was a bolt of lightning and a loud voice from the sky proclaiming, "Repaint and thin no more!"

Moksha Posted April 26, 2010 Report Posted April 26, 2010 There was this young man and his beautiful young wife who decided they wanted to join this prestigious Baptist church somewheres down south. So they went to see the Pastor. "Do you LOVE the Lord?" the Pastor inquires. "Yes, we do!" the couple reply. "Do you LOVE Jesus?" the Pastor asks. "Of course!" the couple say. "Then..." says the Pastor, "y'all must prove yourselves worthy. I call on you to abstain from all sex for one week. If you can do that, come back, and you will be welcome to join our congregation. So a week goes by, and the couple is once again in the Pastor's study. "So!" he asks, "Were you able to prove yourselves worthy? Have you abstained from all sex for all this week?" "Well..." the man mumbles, "you see, Reverend, it was like this...we did fine for the first couple of days. It was tough, but we were strong. Then it started to get hard...real hard! But we were still strong! But then, last night...we were in the supermarket, and my wife had on this short skirt, and she bent down to pick something off the bottom shelf... I'm sorry, Reverend, but I was weak." So the Pastor shakes his head and says "I am sad to hear that; well, I'm afraid you are not welcome in our congregation." "Yeah..." the wife says, "we thought you would say that... matter of fact, we're not welcome in the Piggly Wiggly anymore, either." Quote

nbblood Posted April 26, 2010 Report Posted April 26, 2010 A man was traveling north to Alberta. He needed to use the bathroom and so at a rest stop he goes into a stall. He sits down and was surprised to hear someone in the next stall say, "So how ya doing?" The man gulps and thinks about what he should say and then decides to answer. So he clears his throat and says, "uh....I'm fine." Then the stranger in the next stall says, "So where are you headed?" Again the man, a little nervous answers, "Uh...I'm headin north to Alberta." Then the stranger asked, "So what have you been up to?" Again the man answers, "Not much, I'm actually on a business trip." The man sat there waiting for another question when finally he heard the stranger in the next stall impatiently say, "Look, I'm going to have to call you back, some idiot in the next stall thinks I'm talking to him."

Inside, he notices a harmless old hound dog asleep on the floor beside the cash register. "Is that the dog folks are supposed to beware of?" he asks the owner. "Yep, that's him," the man replies. The stranger snickers. "That certainly doesn't look like a dangerous dog to me. Why in the world would you post that sign?" "Because before I posted that sign, people kept tripping over him." Quote

pam Posted May 9, 2010 Report Posted May 9, 2010 Two men were having an awfully slow round of golf because the two ladies in front of them managed to get into every sand trap, lake, and rough on the course. They didn't bother to wave the men on through, which is proper golf etiquette.After two hours of waiting and waiting, one man said, "I think I'll walk up there and ask those gals to let us play through."He walked out the fairway, got halfway to the ladies, stopped, turned around, and came back, explaining, "I can't do it. One of those women is my wife and the other is my mistress! Maybe you'd better go talk to them."The second man walked toward the ladies, got halfway there and, just as his partner had done, stopped, turned around and walked back and said: "Small world." Quote
pam Posted May 9, 2010 Report Posted May 9, 2010 A defendant is on trial for murder. Strong evidence indicates he's guilty, but there is no corpse. In his closing statement, the defense attorney decides he has to make that work to his client's advantage as best he can."Ladies and gentlemen of the jury," he begins his summary, "I have a surprise for you." Within one minute, the person presumed dead in this case will walk into this courtroom."He looks toward the courtroom door. The jurors, somewhat stunned, all stare intently. A minute passes. Nothing happens.The lawyer turns back to the jury. "I made up my statement that the presumed victim would appear," he says. "But all of you looked on with anticipation. I therefore put to you that you have a reasonable doubt in this case as to whether anyone was killed, and I insist that you return a verdict of not guilty."The jury, clearly confused, retires to deliberate. Sometime later, the jury returns, and the foreman announces its verdict: "Guilty.""But how?" asks the lawyer. "You must have had some doubt; I saw all of you stare at the door.""Oh, we looked," the jury foreman says. "But your client didn't." Quote
omega0401 Posted May 9, 2010 Report Posted May 9, 2010 THE BATHTUB TEST During a visit to the seniors home, I asked the director how do you determine whether or not a patient should be institutionalized? "Well," said the director, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup, and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub." "Oh, I understand," I said. "A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup." "No." said the director, "A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?" Quote

pam Posted May 13, 2010 Report Posted May 13, 2010 A young man is trying to sell his old car, but potential buyers disappear when they see it has 250,000 miles on it.One day, he tells his problem to a friend, who says, "You can make the car easier to sell, but it's not legal.""That doesn't matter," the fellow replies."OK," says the friend. "Here's the address of a mechanic I know who owns a car repair shop. Tell him I sent you and he will turn the odometer back to 50,000 miles. Then you should have no trouble selling the car."The young man follows up and makes the trip to the mechanic. About a month later, the two friends bump into each other again, and the fellow who had recommended the mechanic asks, "Did you sell your car?""No," the young fellow says, "I took it off the market. After all, it has only 50,000 miles on it." Quote

nbblood Posted May 14, 2010 Report Posted May 14, 2010 Question: What is the true definition of Globalization? Answer: Princess Diana’s death. Question: How come? Answer: An English princess with an Egyptian boyfriend crashes in a French tunnel, driving a German car with a Dutch engine, driven by a Belgian who was drunk on Scottish whisky, followed closely by Italian Paparazzi, on Japanese motorcycles, treated by an American doctor, using Brazilian medicines. This message is sent to you using Bill Gates’s technology, and you’re probably reading this on your computer, that use Chinese chips, and a Korean monitor, assembled by Bangladeshi workers in a Singapore plant, transported by Pakistani lorry-drivers, hijacked by Indonesians, unloaded by Sicilian longshoremen, and trucked to you by Mexican illegal immigrants. Of course if you need tech support you can call the tech support line, manned by employees in India. That, my friend, is Globalization! Quote
