Two little boys, ages 8 and 10, were excessively mischievous. They
were always getting into trouble and their parents knew all about it.

If any mischief occurred in their town, the two boys were probably
involved.

The boys' mother heard that a preacher in town had been successful in
disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys.

The preacher agreed, but he asked to see them individually. So the
mother sent the 8 year old first, in the morning, with the older boy to
see the preacher in the afternoon.

The preacher, a huge man with a booming voice, sat the younger boy down
and asked him sternly, "Do you know where God is, son?"

The boy's mouth dropped open, but he made no response, sitting there
wide-eyed with his mouth hanging open.

So the preacher repeated the question in an even sterner tone, "Where is
God?"

Again, the boy made no attempt to answer.
The preacher raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the
boy's face and bellowed, "Where is God?"

The boy screamed and bolted from the room, ran directly home and dove
into his closet, slamming the door behind him.

When his older brother found him in the closet, he asked, "What
happened?"

The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied, "We are in BIG trouble
this time,"

"GOD is missing, and they think we did it!"

Scientists have shown that the moon is moving away at a tiny, although
measurable distance from the earth every year.

If you do the math, you can calculate that 85 million years ago the
moon was orbiting the earth at a distance about 35 feet from the
earth's surface.

This would explain the death of the dinosaurs - the tallest ones,
anyway.

Get Out of The Car!
(This is a true account recorded in the Police Log of Sarasota, Florida.)

 

An elderly Florida lady did her shopping and, upon returning to her car, found four males in the act of leaving with her vehicle.  She dropped her shopping bags and drew her handgun, proceeding to scream at the top of her voice, "I have a gun, and I know how to use it!  Get out of the car!"

 

The four men didn't wait for a second invitation.  They got out and ran like mad.  The lady, somewhat shaken, then proceeded to load her shopping bags into the back of the car and got into the driver's seat. She was so shaken that she could not get her key into the ignition.  She tried and tried, and then it dawned on her why.   For the same reason she did not understand why there was a football, a Frisbee and two 12 packs in the front seat.

 

A few minutes later, she found her own car parked four or five spaces farther down.  She loaded her bags into the car and drove to the police station to report her mistake.  The sergeant to whom she told the story couldn't stop laughing.  He pointed to the other end of the counter, where four pale men were reporting a car jacking by a mad, elderly woman described as white, less than five feet tall, glasses, curly white hair, and carrying a large handgun.  No charges were filed. Moral of the story?   If you're going to have a Senior Moment, make it memorable.

By this time, the usher's face was red with embarrassement, and it was then that he soundly whacked the gentleman's head. The man slumped from the pew and onto the floor.

As she caught the man in the act of robbing her home of its valuables, she yelled, "Stop! Acts 2:38!" [Turn from your sin]

The burglar stopped dead in his tracks. Then the woman calmly called the police and explained what she had done.

As the officer cuffed the man to take him in, he asked the burglar,"Why did you just stand there? All the old lady did was yell a scripture at you."

"Scripture?" replied the burglar, "She said she had an axe and two 38s!"

An elderly man lay dying in his bed. In death's agony, he suddenly smelled the aroma of his favorite chocolate chip cookies wafting up the stairs. He gathered his remaining strength, and lifted himself from the bed.

Leaning against the wall, he slowly made his way out of the bedroom, and with even greater effort forced himself down the stairs, gripping the railing with both hands.

With labored breath, he leaned against the door-frame, gazing into the kitchen. Were it not for death's agony, he would have thought himself already in heaven: there, spread out upon newpapers on the kitchen table were literally hundreds of his favorite chocolate chip cookies. Was it heaven? Or was it one final act of heroic love from his devoted wife, seeing to it that he left this world a happy man?

Mustering one great final effort, he threw himself toward the table, landing on his knees in a rumpled posture. His parched lips parted; the wondrous tasted of the cookie was already in his mouth; seemingly bringing him back to life. The aged hand, withered and shaking, made its way to a cookie at the edge of the table, when it was suddenly smacked with a spatula by his wife.

"Stay out of those," she said, "they're for the funeral!

my car. My wife and children are starving. I don't often ask you for help
and I have always been a good servant to you. PLEASE just let me win the
lotto this one time so I can get my life back in order ... "

confronted by the voice of GOD himself:

"Joe, meet me half way on this one...Buy a ticket!"

Late one night, a burglar broke into a house that he thought was empty.
He tiptoed through the living room but froze in his tracks when he heard
a loud voice say, "Jesus is watching you."

Frantically, he looked all around. In a dark corner, he spotted a bird cage
and in the cage was a parrot. "Was that you who said Jesus is watching
me?"

"Yes", said the parrot.

The burglar breathed a sigh of relief, then asked, "What's your name?"

"Clarence," said the bird.

"That's a dumb name for a parrot," sneered the burglar. "What idiot
named you Clarence?"

"The same idiot who named the Rottweiller, Jesus."
