The “battle cry” of the hippies in the sixties was “Turn on; tune in; ___________.” 3.. After the Lone Ranger saved the day and rode […]

An artist

A Sunday School teacher began her lesson with a question. “Boys and girls, what do we know about God?” A hand shot up in the air. “He is an artist!” said the kindergarten boy. “Really?! How do you know?” the teacher asked. “You know – ‘Our Father, who does art in Heaven. . .”

Cussing

;=] Cussing Father Murphy was playing golf with a parishioner. On the first hole, he sliced into the rough. His opponent heard him mutter “Hoover!” under his breath.

Career Choices and Van Gogh

My first job was working in an orange juice factory, but I got canned… couldn’t concentrate. Then I worked in the woods as a lumberjack, but I just couldn’t hack it, so they gave me the ax. After that I tried to be a tailor, but I just wasn’t suited for it, mainly because it […]

Growing Old

Several months ago, scientists at Europe’s annual human reproduction conference suggested that the results of a recent analysis revealed the presence of female hormones in beer, and suggested that men should take a look at their beer […]

Lawns

“Winterize your lawn,” the big sign outside the garden store commanded. I’ve fed it, watered it, mowed it, raked it and watched a lot of it die anyway. Now I’m supposed to winterize it? I hope it’s too late. Grass lawns have to be the stupidest thing we’ve come up with outside of thong swimsuits! […]

Al-Gebra

At a morning press conference, Attorney General John Ashcroft said he […]

Blind or Forgetful?

Old man Woodruff loved golf, but his age was making it increasingly difficult for him to play. He complained to the clubhouse man about his eyesight. “I can’t play with my glasses on because they keep falling off,” he said. “And I’m too nearsighted to play without them.” “Why don’t you play with Hughes?” the […]
