Preacher was tryin' to call the church secretary. Rang and rang and rang. Piqued, he dialed a 2nd time, she answered immediately. "WHERE WERE YOU?!" he demanded. "Right here." "It rang 50 times!" "Not here it didn't..."

Next morning, he receives a call. "WHO IS THIS?!" demands the voice. "This is the minister, at the Almighty God Tabernacle. May I help you?" There was silence, then a full deep belly-laugh. "OK, share it" encoraged the minister.

Trying to talk between guffaws, the caller finally calmed enough to say, "OK, I suffer from clinical depression. Last night, I was gonna commit suicide. I prayed one last prayer---'God, if you really don't want me to do this, send me a sign'. Right then, the phone began to ring, it rang and rang and rang, and I looked at the Caller ID, and it said ALMIGHTY GOD and I hadn't the courage to answer it!!!

:D

(Martin, those are great!)

Please forgive me for this joke, but I found it really funny.

A man dies and due to his evil and sinful life, goes to hell. The devil himself meets him at the gates of hell and tells him, "I don't know what all you've heard up there, but hell isn't all that bad a place. Let me ask you, do you like to smoke?"

The man answers, "Yes, I do"

"Oh, good then," the devil says, "You'll LOVE Mondays. Every Monday we all sit around and smoke cigarettes, cigars, pipes, try out new types of tobacco. Do you like to drink?"

The man answers, "Yeah, sure, I like to drink."

The devil says, "Good, you'll love Tuesdays, then. All we do on Tuesdays is sit around and drink beer, wine, and all kinds of different mixed drinks."

"You'll just love Tuesdays. Do you like to swear?"

"Sure," says the man, "I swear a lot."

"Great then. You'll love Wednesdays."

The devil says, "On Wednesdays, all we do is sit around and swear a lot, we try to make up new cuss words, and have a great time, you'll just love Wednesdays."

"Oh, by the way," asks the devil, "Are you homosexual?"

"No!" the man replies

The devil look at him, and says, "Then you're gonna hate Thursdays."

:D

THE HEARING PROBLEM

Seems an elderly gentleman had serious hearing
problems for a number of years. He went to the
doctor and the doctor was able to have him fitted
for a set of hearing aids that allowed the
gentleman to hear 100%.

The elderly gentleman went back in a month to the
doctor and the doctor said, "Your hearing is
perfect. Your family must be really pleased that
you can hear again."

To which the gentleman said, "Oh, I haven't told
my family yet. I just sit around and listen to
the conversations. I've changed my will three
times!"

ENGLISH IS A FUNNY LANGUAGE

We'll begin with a box and the plural is boxes.
But the plural of ox should be oxen, not oxes.

The one fowl is a goose but two are called geese,
Yet the plural of mouse should never be meese.

You may found a lone mouse or a whole set of mice,
Yet the plural of house is houses not hice.

If the plural of man is always called men,
Why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen?

If I speak of a foot and you show me your feet,
And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet?

If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,
Why should not the plural of booth be called beeth?

Then one may be that and three would be those,
Yet hat in the plural wouldn't be hose.
And the plural of cat is cats and not cose.

We speak of a brother and also of brethren,
But though we say Mother, we never say Methren,

Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him,
But imagine the feminine she, shis and shim,

So English, I fancy you will all agree,
Is the funniest language you ever did see.

Bubba replied, "Down 'ere at the end o' Eucalyptus

The operator asked, "Can you spell that for me?"

There was a long pause and finally Bubba said, "How 'bout if I drag her on over to Oak Street and you pick her up there. . . "

In the interests of fairness.....

Only in Britain...can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance...

Only in Britain...do Supermarkets make the sick people walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.

Only in Britain...do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a diet coke.

Only in Britain...do banks leave both doors open and chain the pens to the counters.

Only in Britain...do we leave cars worth thousands of pounds on the drive and put our junk in the garage.

Only in Britain...do we use answering machines to screen calls and then have call waiting so we won’t miss a call from someone we didn’t want to talk to in the first place.

Only in Britain...do we buy hot dogs in packs of ten and buns in packs of eight.

Only in Britain...do we use the word “politics” to describe the process of Government. “Poli” in Latin meaning “many” and “tics” meaning “bloodsucking creatures.”

At the 1998 World Women's Conference the first speaker from England stood up: "At last years' conference we spoke about being more assertive with our husbands. Well after the conference I went home and told my husband that I would no longer cook for him and that he would have to do it himself. After the first day I saw nothing. After the second day I saw nothing. But after the third day I saw that he had cooked a wonderful roast lamb." The crowd cheered.
The second speaker from America stood up: "After last years' conference I went home and told my husband that I would no longer do his laundry and that he would have to do it himself. After the first day I saw nothing. After the second day I saw nothing. But after the third day I saw that he had done not only his own washing but my washing as well." The crowd cheered.
The third speaker from Australia stood up: "After last years" conference I went home and told my husband that would no longer do his shopping and that he would have to do it himself. After the first day I saw nothing. After the second day I saw nothing. But after the third day I could see a little bit out of my left eye.

The following short quiz consists of 4 questions and tells whether you are qualified to be a "professional".

Scroll down for the answer. The questions are not that difficult.

1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?





























The correct answer is: Open the refrigerator, put in the giraffe and close the door.

This question tests whether you tend to do simple things in an overly complicated way.

2 How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?






























Wrong Answer: Open the refrigerator, put in the elephant and close the refrigerator.

Correct Answer: Open the refrigerator, take out the giraffe, put in the elephant and close the door.

This tests your ability to think through the repercussions of your actions.

3. The Lion King is hosting an animal conference, all the animals attend except one. Which animal does not attend?





























Correct Answer: The Elephant (the Elephant is in the refrigerator)

This tests your memory.

OK, even if you did not answer the first three questions, correctly, you still have one more chance to show your abilities.

4. There is a river you must cross. But it is inhabited by crocodiles. How do you manage it?





























Correct Answer: You swim across (all the crocodiles are attending the Animal Meeting!)

This tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes.

According to Andersen Consulting World-wide, around 90% of the professionals they tested got all questions wrong.

But many pre-school children got several correct answers.

Anderson Consulting says this conclusively disproves the theory that most professionals have the brains of a four year old.
