Dear Family,
Since this Sunday is Laetare Sunday, I
thought a couple of good jokes was in order.
So, today, “Laetare!” “Rejoice!”
It seems a man in Topeka, Kansas decides to write a book about
churches around the country. He starts by flying to San Francisco
and working east from there.
He goes to a very large church and begins taking pictures, etc. He
spots a golden telephone on a wall and is intrigued with a sign which
reads "$10,000.00 a minute." Seeking out the pastor, he asks about
the phone and the sign. The pastor answers that this golden phone is,
in fact, a direct line to Heaven, and if he pays the price he can talk
directly to God. He thanks the pastor and continues on his way.
As he continues to visit churches in Seattle, Denver, Boise,
Milwaukee, Chicago, New York, and on around the United States, he
finds more phones with the same sign, and the same answer from
each pastor.
Finally, he arrives in the South. Upon entering a church, lo and
behold, he sees the usual golden telephone. But THIS time the sign
reads "Calls: 25 cents." Fascinated, he asks to talk to the pastor.
"Reverend, I have been in cities all across the country and in each
church I found this golden telephone, and I 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 $10,000.00 a minute. Your sign reads 25 cents
a call. Why?"
The pastor, smiling benignly, replies, "Son, you're in the South
now. It's a local call."
One balmy day in the South Pacific, a navy ship espied smoke
coming from one of three huts on an uncharted island.
Upon arriving at the shore they were met by a shipwreck survivor.
He said, "I'm so glad you're here! I've been alone on this island for
more than five years!"
The captain replied, "If you're all alone on the island why do I see
THREE huts."
The survivor said, "Oh. We'll, I live in one, and go to church in
another."
"What about the THIRD hut?" asked the captain.
"That's where I USED to go to church."
Hope you enjoyed them. God bless and Mary keep you!
