The River A preacher was completing a temperance sermon. With great expression he said, "If I had all the beer in the world, I'd take it and throw 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 throw it into the river." And then finally, he said, "And if I had all the whiskey in the world, I'd take it and throw it into the river." He sat down.

New Bell Ringer Following the death of Quasimodo. the Bishop of the Cathedral Church of Notre Dame sent word throughout the streets of Paris that a new bellringer would need to be appointed. The Bishop decided that he would himself conduct the interviews, and went up into the belfry to interview the candidates. After observing several applicants demonstrate their skills, he decided to call it a day, when an armless man approached him announcing that he was there to apply for the post.. The Bishop, incredulous declared, " My Son, you have no arms!" " No matter" replied the man. He then proceeded to strike the bells with his face, producing the most beautiful melody on the carillon. The Bishop was astonished, believing he had indeed found a suitable replacement for Quasimodo. But in rushing forward to strike a bell, the armless man tripped, and plunged headlong out of the belfry to his death in the street below. The Bishop, stunned rushed to his side. When he reached the street, a crowd had gathered around the fallen figure, drawn by the beauty of the music they had heard, but a moment before. As they parted in silence to allow the Bishop through, one of the number asked " Bishop, who was this man?" ..wait for it... wait for it..... .." I don't know his name" replied the Bishop sadly, " But his face rings a bell." WAIT, WAIT! not through yet! The following day, despite the sadness that weighed heavily on his heart following the death of the armless camponologist, the Bishop continued his interviews for a bell ringer for Notre Dame.

The Bishop agreed to an audition, but as the man reached to strike the first bell, he groaned, clutched at his chest, collapsed, and died on the spot. Two monks, hearing the cries of grief from the Bishop at the tragedy, rushed up the stairs...... "What as happened? Who is this man?" they cried. " I don't know his name" exclaimed the distraught Bishop,......... wait for it....... wait for it wait for it ........." I don't know his name............but he's a dead ringer for his brother." Priest Blessing? Charlie was a regular visitor at the racetrack. One afternoon he noticed an unusual sight. Right before the first race, a Catholic Priest visited one of the horses in the stable area and gave it a blessing. Charlie watched the horse race very carefully, and, sure enough, the blessed horse came in first.Charlie followed the Priest before the next race. Again, the Priest went to the stables and blessed another horse. Charlie quickly put two dollars on that horse and won close to fifty bucks! The Priest kept blessing horses and Charlie kept betting on them and they won! The last race of the day was the biggest and Charlie saw the Priest with that horse, also! He quickly went to his bank and withdrew his life's savings of $20,000, went back to the racetrack and put it all on that horse! He watched the race in certain anticipation of leaving a millionaire. The horse was last to cross the line and Charlie was dead broke! He couldn't believe what happened so he went looking for the Priest. He found the man and asked, "What happened to that last horse you blessed? Because your blessing didn't work, I've lost all of my money!" The Priest said "That's the trouble with you protestants, you can't tell the difference between a blessing and the Last Rites!" In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth, and the earth was without form, and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And Satan said. "It doesn't get any better than this." And God said, "Let there be light," and there was
light. And God said, "Let the earth bring forth grass,
the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding
fruit," and God saw that it And Satan said "There goes the neighborhood." And God said, "Let us make Man in our image, after our likeness and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the cattle, and over all the earth. And so God Created Man in his own image, male and female created he them. And God looked upon Man and Woman and saw that they were lean and fit.

And man gained another 20 pounds. And God said, "You're running up the score, Devil!" And God brought forth the potato, a vegetable naturally low in fat and brimming with nutrition. And Satan peeled off the healthful skin and sliced the starchy center and deep-fat fried them. And he created sour cream dip also.

After looking around, he sees a sign for "Finkelstein, the Tailor". He goes in and Finkelstein prepares a new robe for him, which is a perfect fit. When he asks how much he owes, Finkelstein brushes him off: "No, no, no, for the Son of God? There's no charge! However, may I ask a small favor? Maybe whenever you give a sermon you could just mention a little something about how your nice new robe was made by Finkelstein the Tailor." Jesus readily agrees and, as promised, plugs Finkelstein's robes every time he preaches. Some months later, Jesus is walking through Jerusalem and happens by Finkelstein's shop. There is a huge line of people waiting for Finkelstein's robes. He pushes his way through the crowd to speak to Finkelstein. "Jesus, Jesus, look what a marvel you've been for business!" gushed Finkelstein. "Would you consider a partnership?" "Sure, sure," replies Jesus. "Jesus & Finkelstein it is." "Oh, no, no," says Finkelstein. "Finkelstein & Jesus. After all, I am the craftsman." The two of them debated this for some time. Their discussion was long and spirited, but ultimately fruitful. Finally, they come up with a mutually acceptable compromise. A few days later, the new sign went up over Finkelstein's shop... "LORD & TAYLOR" Childhood Baptism Two
little boys are looking for a way to cool off on a hot
summer day. Dad won't let them play in the sprinkler
because he's mowing the lawn, so the boys set out to
find a way to get wet and cool without getting into
trouble.
They sit on the curb brainstorming when suddenly one
of them jumps up and says, "I know, lets go get
baptized!" Well, both boys have seen enough to know that you can
get wet at a baptism, so they trot down to the church on
the corner and tell the pastor they want to get
baptized. The irritated pastor finally relents after
about 10 minutes of begging. He finally drags the boys
to the men's room and dunks them both head first into
the toilet, then sends them on their way. The boys sit on the curb, slightly disappointed with
the whole adventure, when one of them asks the other,
"What religion are we now?" "I don't know," replies the other. "If we were
Baptists, he would have filled up the big tub and dunked
our whole body like he did for uncle Jim; and if we were
Catholic, he would have poured it on our heads from a
pitcher." They sat and thought about it for a while longer when
the first one said in a small voice, "Since he stuck our
head in the toilet, I think that it means that we're
'piss-ca-pa-lians!" |
