Room 8

[FineLinen]

ROOM 8

A man arrives in heaven. St. Peter asks, "Religion?"

The man says, "Methodist."

St. Peter says, "Go to room 24, but be very quiet as you pass room 8."

Another man arrives. "Religion?"

"Baptist."

"Go to room 18, but be very quiet as you pass room 8."

A third man arrives. "Religion?"

"Jewish."

"Go to room 11, but be very quiet as you pass room 8."

The man says, "I can understand there being different rooms for different religions, but why must I be quiet when I pass room 8?"

St. Peter replies, "Well the Catholics are in room 8, and they think they're the only ones here."

Congratulations to you that are not "average." Please treat yourself to the prize.

A minister, a doctor and an engineer were waiting one morning for a particularly slow group of golfers.

The engineer fumed, "What's with these guys? We must have been waiting for 15 minutes!"

The doctor chimed in, "I don't know, but I've never seen such ineptitude!"

The minister said, "Hey, here comes the greens keeper. Let's have a word with him."

"Hi George. What's with that group ahead of us? They're rather slow, aren't they?"

The greens keeper replied, "Oh, yes, that's a group of blind firefighters.

They lost their sight saving our clubhouse from a fire last year, so we always let them play for free anytime."

The group was silent for a moment. The minister said, "That's so sad. I will say a special prayer for them tonight."

The doctor said, "Good idea. And I'm going to contact my ophthalmologist buddy and see if there's anything he can do for them."

The engineer said, "Why can't these guys play at night?"
