Mrs. Smart was fumbling in her purse for her offering when a large television remote fell out and clattered into the aisle.

 

The curious usher bent over to retrieve it for her and whispered, “Do you always carry your TV remote to church?”

 

“No,” she replied, “but my husband refused to come with me this morning, and I figured this was the most evil thing I could do to him legally.”

Timmy didn’t want to put his money in the offering plate Sunday morning, so his mother decided to use some hurried creative reasoning with him.

 

“You don’t want that money, honey,” she whispered in his ear. “Quick! Drop it in the plate. It’s tainted!” Horrified, the little boy obeyed.

 

After a few seconds he whispered, “But, mommy, why was the money tainted? Was it dirty?

 

“Oh, no dear,” she replied. “It’s not really dirty. It just ‘taint yours, and it ‘taint mine,” she replied. “It’s God’s.”

A much loved-minister of God once carried a secret burden of long- past sin deep in his heart. He had committed the sin many years before, during his Bible school training. No one knew what he had done, but they did know he had repented. Even so, he had suffered years of remorse over the incident without any sense of God's forgiveness.

A woman in his church deeply loved God and claimed to have visions in which Jesus Christ spoke to her. The minister, skeptical of her claims, asked her, "The next time you speak to the Lord, would you please ask Him what sin your minister committed while he was in Bible school." The woman kindly agreed.

When she came to the church a few days later the minister asked, "Did He visit you?"

 

She said, "Yes."

"And did you ask Him what sin I committed?"

"Yes, I asked Him," she replied

"Well, what did He say?"

"He said, 'I don't remember.'"

If students wrote the Bible:

 

Instead of God creating the world in six days and resting on the seventh, He would have put it off until the night before it was due and then pulled an all-nighter.

The Last Supper would have been eaten the next morning - cold.

The Ten Commandments would actually be only five - double-spaced and written in a large font.

A new edition would be published every two years in order to limit reselling.

Forbidden fruit would have been eaten because it wasn't cafeteria food.

Paul's letter to the Romans would become Paul's email to abuse@romans.gov.

The reason Cain killed Abel: they were roommates.

The reason why Moses and followers walked in the desert for 40 years: they didn't want to ask directions and look like freshmen.

There was a barber that thought that he should share his faith with his customers more than he had been doing lately. So the next morning when the sun came up and the barber got up out of bed he said, "Today I am going to witness to the first man that walks through my door."

Soon after he opened his shop the first man came in and said, "I want a shave!" The barber said, "Sure, just sit in the seat and I'll be with you in a moment." The barber went in the back and prayed a quick desperate prayer saying, "God, the first customer came in and I'm going to witness to him. So give me the wisdom to know just the right thing to say to him. Amen."

Then quickly the barber came out with his razor knife in one hand and a Bible in the other while saying "Good morning sir. I have a question for you... Are you ready to die?"

An archaeologist was digging in the Negev Desert in Israel and came upon a casket containing a mummy. After examining it, he called the curator of a prestigious natural-history museum.

"I've just discovered a 3,000 year-old mummy of a man who died of heart failure!" the excited scientist exclaimed.

To which the curator replied, "Bring him in. We'll check it out."

A week later, the amazed curator called the archaeologist. "You were right about the mummy's age and cause of death. How in the world did you know?"

"Easy. There was a piece of paper in his hand that said, '10,000 Shekels on Goliath'."

At the conclusion of the sermon, the worshipers filed out of the sanctuary to greet the minister. As one of them left, he shook the minister's hand, thanked him for the sermon and said, "Thanks for the message, Reverend. You know, you must be smarter than Einstein." Beaming with pride, the minister said, "Why, thank you, brother!"

As the week went by, the minister began to think about the man's compliment. The more he thought, the more he became baffled as to why anyone would deem him smarter than Einstein. So he decided to ask the man the following Sunday.

The next Sunday he asked the parishioner if he remembered the previous Sunday's comment about the sermon. The parishioner replied that he did. The minister asked: "Exactly what did you mean that I must be smarter than Einstein?"

The man replied, "Well, Reverend, they say that Einstein was so smart that only ten people in the entire world could understand him. But Reverend, no one can understand you."

One afternoon in the arctic, a father polar bear and his polar bear son were sitting in the snow. The cub turned to his father again and said: "Dad, am I 100 per cent polar bear?"
     
The father replied: "Of course, son, you're 100 per cent polar bear."
     
A few minutes later, the cub turned to his father again and said: "Dad, tell me the truth. I can take it. Am I 100 per cent polar bear? No brown bear or black bear or grizzly bear?"
     
The father answered: "Son, I'm 100 per cent polar bear, your mother is 100 per cent polar bear, so you are definitely 100 per cent polar bear."
     
The cub seemed satisfied, but a few minutes later he turned to his father once more and said: "Dad, don't think you're sparing my feelings. I've got to know. Am I 100 per cent polar bear?"
     
The father was becoming distressed by the continual questioning and said: "Why do you keep asking if you're 100 per cent polar bear?"
     
The cub said: "Because I'm freezing!"

The two thousand member Catholic church was filled to overflowing capacity one Sunday morning. The priest was ready to start the Mass when two men, dressed in long black coats and black hats entered thru the rear of the church. One of the two men walked to the middle of the church while the other stayed at the back of the church.

 

They both reached under their coats and withdrew automatic weapons. The one in the middle announced, "Everyone willing to take a bullet for Jesus stay in your seats!"

 

Naturally, the pews emptied, followed by the choir. The elders ran out the door, followed by the choir director and the alter boy. After a few moments, there were about twenty people left sitting in the church. The priest was holding steady in the pulpit.

 

The men put their weapons away and said, gently, "All right, Father, the hypocrites are gone now. You may begin the Mass."

John 4:18 (ESV) on the other hand reads “For you have had five husbands, and the one you now have is not your husband.”

A minister waited in line to have his car filled with gas just before a long holiday weekend. The attendant (this was back in the day's when they had them) 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.”

Funny Statements From Insurance Claims (part 2):

​

I saw a slow-moving, sad-faced old gentleman as he bounced off the hood of my car.

 

The indirect cause of the accident was a little guy in a small car with a big mouth.

 

I was thrown from my car as it left the road, and was later found in a ditch by some stray cows.

 

A pedestrian hit me and went under my car.

 

I thought my window was down, but I found out it was up when I put my head through it.

 

To avoid hitting the bumper of the car in front, I struck the pedestrian.

 

The guy was all over the road. I had to swerve a number of times before I hit him.

 

The pedestrian had no idea which way to run, so I ran over him.

 

An invisible car came out of nowhere, struck my car and vanished.

 

A truck backed through my windshield into my wife’s face.

 

I pulled away from the side of the road, glanced at my mother-in-law, and headed over the embankment.

The following quotes taken from the Toronto News on July 26, 1977, are actual statements from insurance forms where car drivers tried to summarize accident details in as few words as possible. Such instances of faulty writing serve to confirm that incompetency can be highly entertaining.

 

Coming home I drove into the wrong house and collided with a tree I don’t have.

 

The other car collided with mine without giving warning of its intent.

 

I collided with a stationary truck coming the other way.

 

In my attempt to kill a fly, I drove into a telephone pole.

 

I had been shopping for plants all day and was on my way home. As I reached an intersection, a hedge sprang up, obscuring my vision and I did not see the other car.

 

I had been driving for forty years when I fell asleep at the wheel and had an accident.

 

I was on my way to the doctor with rear end trouble when my universal joint gave way causing me to have an accident.

 

My car was legally parked as it backed into the other vehicle.

 

As I approached the intersection a sign suddenly appeared in a place where no sign had ever appeared before, making me unable to avoid the accident.

 

I told the police I was not injured, but upon removing my hair, I found that I had a fractured skull.

 

I was sure the old fellow would never make it to the other side of the road when I struck him.

A criminal with a long record of transgressions was on trial for his latest crime. The jury found him guilty on 33 counts and the judge sentenced him to 189 years. Realizing that even with time off for good behavior he would be over one hundred years old when he was released, the prisoner burst into tears.

 

Noting this display of remorse, the judge reconsidered. He said, “I didn’t mean to be so severe. Thinking it over, I can see that I’ve imposed an extremely harsh sentence. So you don’t have to serve the whole time.”

 

The prisoner beamed with new found hope until the judge leaned toward him and said, “Just do a much as you can.”

There was once a Canadian bird who decided he didn’t want to fly south for the winter. He decided it was nonsense to go all the way down south when he could just stay right where he was. So he stayed behind.

 

Well after awhile, it got kind of cold and finally, he could take it no more and decided to fly south after all. As he was flying through the air, ice began to form on his wings to the point where he could no longer fly so he glided down and landed in a barnyard.

 

So here is the bird, he’s half frozen in a barnyard and at the point of death. About that time along comes a cow who walks right over the bird and drops a “plop” on him. Now the bird is really disgusted. He’s half frozen, dying, and now he has this “plop” on him.

 

After a short time though, the ice begins to melt off of the bird and he starts to get warm under that “plop.” He begins to think to himself, “It’s getting warm. I’m going to live! I’m going to live!” Then right there underneath that “plop” he starts to sing little bird songs> He’s now happy once again.

 

About that time a cat comes along and hears this noise coming from underneath this “plop.” He moves the stuff off the bird and eats the bird.

 

There are three morals to the story:

 

1. Not everyone who drops a “plop” on you is necessarily your enemy

2. Not everyone who moves it off of you is necessarily your friend

3. And if someone does drop a “plop” on you, keep your mouth shut.

When Queen Victoria reigned in England, she occasionally would visit some of the humble cottages of her subjects. One time she entered the home of a widow and stayed to enjoy a brief period of Christian fellowship.
     
Later on, the poor woman was taunted by her worldly neighbors. "Granny," they said, "who's the most honored guest you've ever entertained in your home?" They expected her to say it was Jesus, for despite their constant ridicule of her Christian witness, they recognized her deep spirituality.
     
But to their surprise she answered, "The most honored guest I've entertained is Her Majesty the Queen."
     
"Did you say the Queen? Ah, we caught you this time! How about this Jesus you're always talking about? Isn't He your most honored guest?"
     
Her answer was definite and scriptural, "No, indeed! He's not a guest. He lives here!"
     
Her hecklers were put to silence!

He then said "those of you who forgive and forget past grievances please be seated". About half of those in the church sat.

 

He then quoted Biblical verses and repeated his question to those still standing. At this point most sat down.

 

He pleaded further for them to follow the Christian way and one by one they sat down. Just one old lady remained standing. "Madam" the reverend asked, "why can't you forgive your enemies?"

"Because I have none" she replied.

 

"That is remarkable; at your age to have no enemies is wonderful. To what do you attribute this achievement?"

 

 She gave him her best smile and replied, "they've all died!"

The Presbyterian church called a meeting to decide what to do about their squirrel infestation.  After much prayer and consideration, they concluded that the squirrels were predestined to be there, and they shouldn’t interfere with God’s divine will.

 

At the Baptist church the squirrels had taken an interest in the baptistery. The Deacons met and decided to put a water-slide in the baptistery and let the squirrels drown themselves. The squirrels liked the slide and, unfortunately, knew instinctively how to swim, so twice as many squirrels showed up the following week.

 

The Lutheran church decided that they were not in a position to harm any of God’s creatures. So, they humanely trapped their squirrels and set them free near the Baptist church. Two weeks later the squirrels were back when the Baptists took down the water-slide.

 

The Episcopalians tried a much more unique path by setting out pans of whiskey around their church in an effort to kill the squirrels with alcohol poisoning. They sadly learned how much damage a band of drunk squirrels can do.

 

But the Catholic church came up with a very creative strategy! They baptized all the squirrels and made them members of the church. Now they only see them at Christmas and Easter.

 

And not much was heard from the Jewish synagogue. They took the first squirrel and circumcised him.

A Sunday School teacher asked her group of children if anyone could quote the entire 23rd Psalm. A golden-haired, four-and-a-half-year-old girl was among those who raised their hands. A bit skeptical, the teacher asked if she could really quote the entire Psalm.

 

The little girl came to the front of the room, faced the class, bowed, and said, “The Lord is my shepherd, that’s all I want.” She bowed again and went and sat down.

 

That may well be the greatest interpretation of the 23rd Psalm ever heard.

"Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub."

 

"Oh, I understand," said the visitor. "A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup."

 

"No." said the Director, "A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?"

A group of friars were behind on their belfry payments, so they opened up a small florist shop to raise funds. Since everyone liked to buy flowers from the men of God, a rival florist across town thought that the competition was unfair.

 

He asked the good fathers to close down, but they would not. He went back and begged the friars to close their doors, but they ignored him.

 

So the rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, the roughest and most vicious thug in town to "persuade" them to close up shop. Hugh beat up the friars mercilessly and trashed their store, saying he'd be back if they didn't close down immediately.

 

Terrified, they did so, thereby proving that only Hugh can prevent florist friars.

Joe has been seeing a psychoanalyst for four years for treatment of the fear that he had monsters under his bed. It had been years since he had gotten a good night's sleep. Furthermore, his progress was very poor, and he knew it. So, one day he stops seeing the psychoanalyst and decides to try something different.

 

A few weeks later, Joe's former psychoanalyst meets his old client in the supermarket, and is surprised to find him looking well-rested, energetic, and cheerful.

 

"Doc!" Joe says, "It's amazing! I'm cured!"

"That's great news!" the psychoanalyst says. "you seem to be doing much better. How?"

"I went to see another doctor," Joe says enthusiastically, "and he cured me in just ONE session!"

"One?!" the psychoanalyst asks incredulously.

"Yeah," continues Joe, "my new doctor is a behaviorist."

"A behaviorist?" the psychoanalyst asks. "How did he cure you in just one session?"

"Oh, easy," says Joe. "He told me to cut the legs off of my bed."

After a confused silence, a voice volunteered, "I guess you'd be eating alone."

A little boy was given a five dollar bill to put in the collection plate. When the offering came around, he wouldn't put it in. But after the end of the service, when he went to shake the pastor's hand, he pulled out the five dollar bill and gave it to the pastor.

 

The pastor asked him, "Why are you giving me this money? Why didn't you put it in the offering plate?"

 

The boy answered, "Because my mommy told me you're the poorest pastor we've ever had!"
