“Only the Ten Commandments.” answered the lady.

A minister parked his car in a no-parking zone in a large city because he was short of time and couldn’t find a space with a meter. Then he put a note under the windshield wiper that read: “I have circled the block 10 times. If I don’t park here, I’ll miss my appointment. Forgive us our trespasses.”

When he returned, he found a citation from a police officer along with this note “I’ve circled this block for 10 years. If I don’t give you a ticket I’ll lose my job. Lead us not into temptation.”

There is the story of a pastor who got up one Sunday and announced to his congregation: “I have good news and bad news. The good news is, we have enough money to pay for our new building program. The bad news is, it’s still out there in your pockets.”

A Sunday School teacher began her lesson with a question, “Boys and girls, what do we know about God?”

A minister waited in line to have his car filled with gas just before a long holiday weekend. The attendant worked quickly, but there were many cars ahead of him. Finally, the attendant motioned him toward a vacant pump.

“Reverend,” said the young man, “I’m so sorry about the delay. It seems as if everyone waits until the last minute to get ready for a long trip.”

The minister chuckled, “I know what you mean. It’s the same in my business.”

People want the front of the bus, the back of the church, and the center of attention.

A father was approached by his small son who told him proudly, “I know what the Bible means!”

His father smiled and replied, “What do you mean, you ‘know’ what the Bible means?”

The son replied, “I do know!”

“Okay,” said his father. “What does the Bible mean?”

“That’s easy, Daddy.” the young boy replied excitedly, “It stands for ‘Basic Information Before Leaving Earth.’”

Sunday after church, a Mom asked her very young daughter what the lesson was about. The daughter answered, “Don’t be scared, you’ll get your quilt.”

Needless to say, the Mom was perplexed. Later in the day, the pastor stopped by for tea and the Mom asked him what that morning’s Sunday school lesson was about.

He said “Be not afraid, thy comforter is coming.”

The minister was preoccupied with thoughts of how he was going to ask the congregation to come up with more money than they were expecting for repairs to the church building. Therefore, he was annoyed to find that the regular organist was sick and a substitute had been brought in at the last minute. The substitute wanted to know what to play.

“Here’s a copy of the service,” he said impatiently. “But, you’ll have to think of something to play after I make the announcement about the finances.”

During the service, the minister paused and said, “Brothers and Sisters, we are in great difficulty; the roof repairs cost twice as much as we expected and we need $4,000 more. Any of you who can pledge $100 or more, please stand up.”

At that moment, the substitute organist played “The Star Spangled Banner.” And that is how the substitute became the regular organist!

Give me a sense of humour,
Lord, Give me the grace to see a joke,
To get some humour out of life,
And pass it on to other folk!

Catholic Cardinal Calls Kerry ‘A Saint’

Kerry was going to visit the Catholic National Cathedral outside Washington, DC as part of his campaign. Kerry’s campaign manager made a visit to the Cardinaland said to him, “We’ve been getting a lot of bad publicity among Catholics because of Kerry’s position on abortion and the like. We’d gladly make a contribution to the church of $100,000 if during your sermon you’d say JohnKerry is a saint.”

The Cardinal thinks it over for a moment and agrees to do it.

Kerry shows up, and as the Mass progresses the Cardinal begins his homily.”John Kerry is a petty, self absorbed hypocrite and a nitwit. He is a liar, a cheat, a disgrace to his country, and a thief. He is the worst example of a Catholic I’ve ever personally known. But compared to Ted Kennedy, John Kerry is a saint!”

Rivkah Green from Denver decided to go on vacation to Miami in the 1920’s. Upon arriving she attempted to check her baggage and settle into a quality hotel.

The concierge told her, “Sorry, there’s no vacancy.” Just then, a man and his wife suddenly checked out.

Rivkah exclaimed, “Thank Goodness! You now have a room.”

“Sorry”, the man behind the counter replied, “This hotel is restricted.”

“And what does that mean?” she asked him.

“Jews aren’t allowed here!”

“Well what makes you think I’m Jewish?” Rivkah shot back.

“I know you are!”

“Well, I’m not! I’m a Catholic! ” she insisted.

“So tell me, ” the man replied, “Did God have a son?”

“Sure.”

“What was his name?”

“Jesus.”

“And where was he born?”

“In Bethlehem, in a stable.”

“And WHY was he born there?”

“Because a shmuck like you wouldn’t rent his parents a room!”
