A Day Without Laughter is Like a Night Without Stars

 

THE CURIOUS NUN
(from Belinda)

A nun, badly needing to use to the restroom, walked into a local Hooters. The place was hopping with music and loud conversation and every once in a while the lights would turn off. Each time the lights would go out, the place would erupt into cheers.

However, when the revelers saw the nun, the room went dead silent. She walked up to the bartender, and asked, "May I please use the restroom?”

The bartender replied, "OK, but I should warn you that there is a statue of a naked man in there wearing only a fig leaf. "Well, in that case I'll just look the other way," said the nun. So, the bartender showed the nun to the back of the restaurant.

After a few minutes, she came back out, and the whole place stopped just long enough to give the nun a loud round of applause. She went to the bartender and said, "Sir, I don't understand. Why did they applaud for me just because I went to the restroom?"

"Well, now they know you're one of us," said the bartender, "Would you like a drink?" But, I still don't understand," said the puzzled nun.

"You see," laughed the bartender, "every time someone lifts the fig leaf on that statue, the lights go out. Now, how about that drink?"

CAN COLD WATER CLEAN DISHES?
(from Amy)

This is for all the germ-conscious folks that worry about using cold water to clean.

Frank went to visit his 90 year old grandfather in a very secluded, rural area of Georgia .

After spending a great evening chatting the night away, Frank's grandfather prepared breakfast of bacon, eggs and toast. However, Frank noticed a film like substance on his plate, and questioned his grandfather asking, "Are these plates clean?"

His grandfather replied, "They're as clean as cold water can get them. Just you go ahead and finish your meal, Sonny!"

For lunch the old man made hamburgers. Again, Frank was concerned about the plates as his appeared to have tiny specks around the edge that looked like dried egg and asked, "Are you sure these plates are clean?"

Without looking up the old man said, "I told you before, Sonny, those dishes are as clean as cold water can get them. Now don't you fret, I don't want to hear another word about it!"

Later that afternoon, Frank was on his way to a nearby town and as he was leaving, his grandfather's dog started to growl, and wouldn't let him pass. Frank yelled and said, "Grandfather, your dog won't let me get to my car".

Without diverting his attention from the football game he was watching on TV, the old man shouted...

A LITTLE CHRISTIAN COMPUTER HUMOR . . .

(contributed by Pat M)

 

Jesus and Satan were having an on-going argument about who was better on the computer. They had been going at it for days, and frankly God was tired of hearing all the bickering.

 

Finally fed up, God said, "THAT'S IT! I have had enough. I am going to set up a test that will run for two hours, and from those results, I will judge who does the better job."

 

So Satan and Jesus sat down at the keyboards and typed away.

 

They moused...
They faxed...
They e-mailed...
They e-mailed with attachments...
They downloaded...
They wrote reports...

They did spreadsheets!
They created labels and cards...
They created charts and graphs...

They did some genealogy reports..
They did every job known to man...

 

Jesus worked with heavenly efficiency, and Satan was faster than hell. Then, ten minutes before their time was up, lightning suddenly flashed Across the sky, thunder rolled, rain poured, and, of course, the power went off!

 

Satan stared at his blank screen and screamed every curse word known in the underworld. Jesus just sighed.  Finally the electricity came back on, and each of them restarted their computers.

 

Satan started searching frantically, screaming: "It's gone! It's all GONE! I lost everything when the power went out!"

 

Meanwhile, Jesus quietly started printing out all of his files from the past two hours of work.  Satan observed this and became irate. "Wait!" he screamed. "That's not fair! He cheated! How come he has all his work and I don't have any?"

 

God just shrugged and said, "Jesus Saves!"

IF  MY BODY WERE A CAR

(contribution from Lori)

If my body were a car, this is the time

I would be thinking about trading it in for a newer model.

I've got bumps and dents and scratches in my finish and my paint job is getting a little dull, but that's not the worst of it.

My headlights are out of focus and it's especially hard to see things up close.

My traction is not as graceful as it once was.

I slip and slide and skid and bump into things even in the best of weather.

My whitewalls are stained with varicose veins.

It takes me hours to reach my maximum speed.

My fuel rate burns inefficiently.

But here's the worst of it –

Almost every time I sneeze, cough or sputter.....either my radiator leaks or my exhaust backfires! 

Got a Ticklish Funnybone?
