Texas Tale

A man in Topeka , Kansas decided to write a book about churches around the country.

He started by flying to San Francisco and started working east from there.

Going to a very large church, he began taking photographs and making notes.  He spotted a golden telephone on the vestibule wall and was intrigued with a sign, which read “$10,000 a minute.” 

 

Seeking out the pastor he asked about the phone and the sign.  The pastor answered that this golden phone is, in fact, a direct line to Heaven — and if he pays the price he can talk directly to God.  The man thanked the pastor and continued on his way.

 

As he continued to visit churches in Seattle , Denver, Minneapolis, Kansas City, St. Louis , Chicago ,  Milwaukee , Tulsa, and other cities in the United States , he found more phones, with the same sign and the same answer from each pastor.

 

Finally, he arrived in Texas upon entering a church in San Antonio , Texas  he saw the usual golden telephone.  But THIS time, the sign read “Calls: 35 cents.”

Totally fascinated, he asked to talk to the pastor, “Reverend, I have been in cities all across the country and in each church I have found this golden telephone and have been told it is a direct line to Heaven and that I could talk to God.

But in the other churches the cost was $10,000 a minute. Your sign reads only 35 cents a call.  Why?”

 

The pastor, smiling benignly replied, “Well son, you’re in Texas now . . . . . . It’s a local call.”

Mature Lady Driver

For those of you who are not yet 50, keep this in mind.  And for those of you over 50 keep note of this next time you get pulled over.

A  mature (over 50) lady gets pulled over for  speeding . . .  Older Woman:  Is there a problem, Officer?   Officer:  Ma’am, you were speeding.   Older Woman:  Oh, I see.   Officer:  Can I see your license please?   Older Woman:  I’d give it to you but I don’t have one.    Officer:  Don’t have one?   Older Woman:  Lost it, 4 years ago for drunk driving.    Officer:  I see…Can I see your vehicle registration papers please.    Older Woman:  I can’t do that.   Officer:  Why not?  Older Woman:  I stole this car. Officer:  Stole it?   Older Woman:  Yes, and I killed and hacked up the owner.  Officer:  You what?  Older Woman:  His body parts are in plastic bags in the trunk if you want to see.   The Officer looks at the  woman and slowly backs away to his car and calls for back up.  Within minutes 5 police cars circle the car.  A senior officer  slowly approaches the car, clasping his half drawn gun.   Officer 2:  Ma’am, could you step out of your vehicle  please!  The  woman steps out of her vehicle.    Older Woman:  Is there a problem, sir?   Officer 2:  One of my officers told me that you have stolen this car and  murdered the owner.   Older Woman:  Murdered the owner?   Officer 2:  Yes, could you please open the trunk of your car, please.   The  woman opens the trunk, revealing nothing but an empty  trunk.   Officer 2:  Is this your car, ma’am?   Older Woman:  Yes, here are the registration papers.  The officer is quite  stunned.   Officer 2:  One of my officers claims that you do not have a driving license.   The woman digs into her handbag and pulls out a clutch purse and hands it to the officer.  The officer examines the  license.  He looks quite puzzled.    Officer 2:  Thank you ma’am, one of my officers told me you didn’t have a license, that you stole this car, and that you murdered and hacked up the owner.     Older Woman:  Bet the liar told you I was speeding too.

I Got a Job at Wal-mart

An email from a recent retiree’s attempt to supplement his income.

Read all about my first day at Wal-Mart. 

It appears that I didn’t work out too well, and will have to start looking
for another job.

My 1st day of employment…

So after landing my new job as a Wal-Mart greeter, a good find for many retirees, I lasted less than a day……

About two hours into my first day on the job a very loud, unattractive, mean
acting woman walked into the store with her two kids, yelling obscenities at
them all the way through the entrance.

As I had been instructed, I said pleasantly, ‘Good morning and  welcome
to Wal-Mart.  Nice children you have there.  Are they twins?’

The ugly woman stopped yelling long enough to say, ‘Hell no, they ain’t
twins.  The oldest one’s 9, and the other one’s 7.  Why the hell would you
think they’re twins?  Are you blind, or just stupid?’

So I replied, ‘I’m neither blind nor stupid, Ma’am, I just couldn’t believe someone slept with you twice.  Have a good day and thank you for shopping at  Wal-Mart.’

My supervisor said I probably wasn’t cut out for this line of work.

Critical Swine Flu Prevention Tip (Humor)

 

Flu season is upon us again and I wanted to pass on a tip to help prevent swine flu.

So don’t let this happen:

Why? Why? Why?

Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are getting weak?

Why do banks charge a fee due to insufficient funds when they already know you’re broke?

Why is it that when someone tells you that there are one billion stars in the universe you believe them.  But if they tell you there is wet paint you have to touch it to check?

Why do they use sterilized needles for lethal injections?

Why doesn’t Tarzan have a beard?

Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest but ducks when you throw a revolver at him?

Why did Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

Whose cruel idea was it to put an “s” in the word “lisp”?

If people evolved from apes why are there still apes?

Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use, the bubbles are always white?

Is there ever a day that mattresses are not on sale?

Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized?

Why do people run over a string a dozen times with their vacuum cleaner; then reach down, pick it up, examine it, then put it down to give the vacuum one more chance?

Why is it that no plastic bag will open from the first end you try?

How do those dead bugs get into enclosed light fixtures?

Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that’s falling off the table you always manage to knock something else over?

Why, in winter, do we try to keep the house as warm as it was in summer when we complained about the heat?

How come you never hear any father-in-law jokes?

Remember:

A day without a smile is like a day without sunshine!  And a day without sunshine is like… night.
