Joke #1
OLD PREACHER DYING
An old preacher was dying. He sent a message for his doctor and his lawyer,
both church members, to come to his home. When they arrived, they were
ushered up to his bedroom. As they entered the room the preacher held out
his hands and motioned for them to sit, one on each side of his bed.
The preacher grasped their hands, sighed contentedly, smiled and stared at
the ceiling.
For a time, no one said anything. Both the doctor and the lawyer were
touched and flattered that the preacher would ask them to be with him during
his final moments. They were also puzzled; the preacher had never given
them any indication that he particularly liked either of them.
They both remembered his many long, uncomfortable sermons about greed,
covetousness and avaricious behavior that made them squirm in their seats.
Finally, the doctor said, "Preacher, why did you ask us to come?"
The old preacher mustered up his strength, then said weakly, "Jesus died
between two thieves.. and that's how I want to go."
Joke #2 The Questions
One day, a teacher, a garbage collector, and a lawyer all die and go to
Heaven. St. Peter's there and was having a bad day since heaven was getting
crowded. When they get to the gate, St. Peter informed them that there will
be a test to get into Heaven: they each will have to answer a single
question.
To the teacher, he says, "What was the name of the ship that crashed into
the Iceberg and sunk with all its passengers?"
The teacher thinks for a second, and then replies, "That would have been the
Titanic, right?" St. Peter lets him through the gate.
St. Peter turns to the Garbage man, and, figuring that Heaven doesn't REALLY
need all the stink that this guy would bring into heaven, decides to make
the question a little harder: "How many people died on the ship?"
The garbage man guesses: "1228" "That happens to be right; go ahead."
St. Peter turns to the Lawyer: "Name them."
Joke #3 Family Problems
Two men met at a bus stop and struck up a conversation. One of them kept
complaining of family problems.
Finally, the other man said: "You think you have family problems? Listen to
my situation, A few years ago I met a young widow with a grown-up daughter
and we got married. "Later my father married my stepdaughter. That made
my stepdaughter my stepmother and my father became my stepson. Also, my
wife became mother-in-law of her father-in-law. Then the daughter of my wife, my stepmother,
had a son. This boy was my half-brother because he was my father's son, but
he was also the son of my wife's daughter which made him my wife's
grandson. That made me the grandfather of my half-brother. "This was
nothing until my wife and I had a son. Now the half-sister of my son, my
stepmother, is also the grandmother. "This makes my father the
brother-in-law of my child, whose stepsister is my father's wife, I'm my
stepmother's brother-in-law, my wife is her own child's aunt, my son is my
father's nephew and I'm My own grandfather! And you think you have family
problems!"
Joke #4 JESUS IS WATCHING
The burglar was creeping noiselessly through the darkened home,
filling his
bag with various valuables. As he reached his hand out to a box of
jewelry, he heard a
voice say, "Jesus is watching you."
Shaken, the burglar stopped. For a full minute he didn't dare
breathe.
Finally, he switched on his flashlight and carefully played it around
the
room, but saw nothing. Convinced that it must have been his
imagination, he
turned off the flashlight and continued in his quest for another man's
wealth. He was busily unhooking a stereo set when he again heard,
"Jesus is
watching you."
This time he nearly jumped out of his skin, he was so freaked out.
Beads
of sweat popped out on his face, and as he switched the light on again,
the
beam shook violently from his terror. He looked about the room, and
noticed a
birdcage in the
corner.
Upon closer inspection, he discovered a parrot in the cage. "Are you
the
one that spoke to me just now?" asked the burglar. "Yes, I am," said
the
parrot.
"Why did you say 'Jesus is watching you?'" asked the man. "Because I
felt
like you needed to be warned," replied the parrot. By this time, the
man was
over his fright and was more than a little irritated at this
smart-mouthed
parrot that had tried to scare the living daylights out of him.
"What's your name?" asked the burglar. "Moses," the parrot
said."Hah," the
man said, guffawing. "What kind of people would name their parrot
Moses?"
"The same kind of people that would name their Rottweiler, Jesus.
