A single guy decides life would be more fun
if he had a pet. He went to the pet store and told the owner
that he wanted to buy an unusual pet.
After some discussion, he finally bought a centipede (a
100-legged bug), which came in a little white box to use for
its house.
He took the box back home, found a good location for the box,
and decided he would start off by taking his new pet to church
with him. He asked the centipede in the box, "Would you
like to go to church with me today? We will have a good
time."
But there was no answer from his new pet.
This bothered him a bit, so he waited a few minutes and then
asked him again, "How about going to church with me and
receive blessings?"
But again, there was no answer from his new friend and pet. He
waited a few minutes more, thinking about the situation.
He decided to ask him one more time; this time putting his
face up against the centipede's house and shouting, "Hey,
in there! Would you like to go to church with me and learn
about the Lord?"
A little voice came out of the box... "I heard you the
first time! I'm putting on my shoes."
A southern minister was completing a
temperance sermon. With great statement he said, "If I
had all the beer in the world, I'd take it and pour it into
the river."
With even greater emphasis he said, "And if I had all the
wine in the world, I'd take it and pour it into the
river!"
And then finally, he said, "And if I had all the whiskey
in the world, I'd take it and pour it into the river!"
Sermon complete, he then sat down.
The song leader stood very cautiously and announced with a
smile, "For our closing song, let us sing Hymn #365:
'Shall We Gather at the River.'"
A client brought a litter of golden
retriever puppies to my veterinary clinic for inoculations and
worming. As the look-alike pups squirmed over and under one
another in their box, I realized it would be difficult to tell
the treated ones from the rest. I turned on the water faucet,
wet my fingers, and moistened each dog's head when I had
finished.
After the fourth puppy, I noticed my hitherto talkative client
had grown silent. As I sprinkled the last pup's head, the
woman leaned forward and whispered, "I didn't know they
had to be baptized."
An engineer, a physicist, and a
statistician were moose hunting in northern Canada. After a
short walk through the marshes they spotted a HUGE moose 150
meters away.
The engineer raised his gun and fired at the moose. A puff of
dust showed that the bullet landed 3 meters to the right of
the moose.
The physicist, realizing that there was a substantial breeze
that the engineer did not account for, aimed to the left of
the moose and fired. The bullet landed 3 meters to the left of
the moose.
The statistician jumped up and down screaming, "We got
him! We got him!"
