1) A little girl was talking to her teacher
about whales. The teacher said it was physically impossible for
a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very
large mammal its throat was very small. The little girl stated
that Jonah was swallowed by a whale.
Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a
whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible.
The little girl said, "When I get to heaven I will ask
Jonah". The te acher asked, "What if Jonah went to
hell?" The little girl replied, "Then you ask
him."
2) A Kindergarten teacher was observing her
classroom of children while they were drawing. She would
occasionally walk around to see each child's work. As she got to
one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the
drawing was. The girl replied, "I'm drawing God." The
teacher paused and said, "But no one knows what God looks
like."
Without missing a beat, or looking up from
her drawing, the girl replied, "They will in a
minute."
3) A Sunday school teacher was discussing the
Ten Commandments with her five and six year olds. After
explaining the commandment to "hon or " thy Father and
thy Mother, she asked, "Is there a commandment that teaches
us how to treat our brothers and sisters?" Without missing
a beat one little boy (the oldest of a family) answered,
"Thou shall not kill."
4) One day a little girl was sitting and
watching her mother do the dishes at the kitchen sink. She
suddenly noticed that her mother had several strands of white
hair sticking out in contrast on her brunette head. She looked
at her mother and inquisitively asked, "Why are some of
your hairs white, Mom?"
Her mother replied, "Well, every time
that you do someth in g wrong and make me cry or unhappy, one of
my hairs turns white." The little girl thought about this
revelation for a while and then said, "Momma, how come ALL
of grandma's hairs are white?"
5) The children had all been photographed,
and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy
of the group picture. "Just think how nice it will be to
look at it when you are all grown up and say, 'There's Jennifer,
she's a lawyer,' or 'That's Michael, He's a doctor.' A small
voice at the back of the room rang out, "And there's the
teacher, she's dead."
6) A teacher was giving a lesson on the
circulation of the blood. Trying to make the matter clearer, she
said, "Now, class, if I stood on my head, the blood, as you
know, would run into it,and I would turn red in the face."
"Yes," the class said. "Then why is it that while
I am standing upright in the ordinary position the blood doesn't
run into my feet?"
A little fellow shouted, "Cause your
feet ain't empty."
7) The children were lined up in the
cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head
of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note,
and posted on the apple tray: "Take only ONE. God is
watching."Moving further along the lunch line, at t he
other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip
cookies.A child had written a note, "Take all you want. God
is watching the apples.
Paddy was driving down the street in a sweat
because he had an important meeting and couldn't find a parking
place. Looking up to heaven he said, "Lord take pity on me.
If you find me a parking place I will go to Mass every Sunday
for the rest of me life and give up me Irish Whiskey!"
Miracu lously, a parking place appeared.
Paddy looked up again and said, "Never mind, I found
one."

Father Murphy walks into a pub in Donegal,
and says to the first man he meets, "Do you want to go to
heaven?"
The man said, "I do, Father."
The priest said, "Then stand over there
against the wall."
Then the priest asked the second man,
"Do you want to go to heaven?"
"Certainly, Father," was the man's
reply.
"Then stand over there against the
wall," said the priest.
Then Father Murphy walked up to O'Toole and
said, "Do you want to go to heaven?"
O'Toole said, "No, I don't Father."
The priest said, "I don't believe this.
You mean to tell me that when you die you don't want to go to
heaven?"
O'Toole said, "Oh, when I die, yes. I
thought you were getting a group together to go right now."

Gallagher opened the morning newspaper and
was dumbfounded to read in the obituary column that he had died.
He quickly phoned his best friend, Finney.
"Did you see the paper?" asked
Gallagher. "They say I died!!"
"Yes, I saw it!" replied Finney.
"Where are ye callin' from?"

An Irish priest is driving down to New York
and gets stopped for speeding in Connecticut. The state trooper
smells alcohol on the priest's breath and then sees an empty
wine bottle on the floor of the car.
He says, "Sir, have you been
drinking?"
"Just water," says the priest.
The trooper says, "Then why do I smell
wine?"
The priest looks at the bottle and says,
"Good Lord! He's done it again!"

Walking into the bar, Mike said to Charlie
the bartender, "Pour me a stiff one - just had another
fight with the little woman."
"Oh yeah?" said Charlie, "And
how did this one end?"
"When it was over," Mike replied,
"She came to me on her hands and knees.
"Really," said Charles, "Now
that's a switch! What did she say?"
She said, "Come out from under the bed,
you little chicken."

Flynn staggered home very late after another
evening with his drinking buddy, Paddy. He took off his shoes to
avoid waking his wife, Mary.
He tiptoed as quietly as he could toward the
stairs leading to their upstairs bedroom, but mi sjudged the
bottom step. As he caught himself by grabbing the banister, his
body swung around and he landed heavily on his rump. A whiskey
bottle in each back pocket broke and made the landing especially
painful.
Managing not to yell, Flynn sprung up, pulled
down his pants, and looked in the hall mirror to see that his
butt cheeks were cut and bleeding. He managed to quietly find a
full box of Band-Aids and began putting a Band-Aid as best he
could on each place he saw blood.
He then hid the now almost empty Band-Aid box
and shuffled and stumbled his way to bed.
In the morning, Flynn woke up with searing
pain in both his head and butt and Mary staring at him from
across the room.
She said, "You were drunk again last
night weren't you?"
Flynn said, "Why you say such a mean
thing?"
"Well," Mary said, "it could
be the open front door, it could be the broken glass at the
bottom of the stairs, it could be the drops of blood trailing
through the house, it could be your bloodshot eyes, but
mostly.... it's all those Band-Aids stuck on the
hall mirror.
