My father is a skilled CPA who is not great at self-promotion. So when an advertising company offered to put my father's business placard in the shopping carts of a supermarket, my dad jumped at the chance. Fully a year went
by before we got a call that could be traced to those placards.
"Richard Larson, CPA?" the caller asked.
"That's right," my father answered. "May I help you?"
"Yes," the voice said. "One of your shopping carts is in my yard, and I want you to come and get it."

The teacher asked one of her young students if he knew his
numbers.
"Yes," he said. "I do. My father taught me."
"Good. What comes after three."
"Four," answers the boy.
"What comes after six?"
"Seven."
"Very good," says the teacher. "Your dad did a good job.
What comes after ten?"
"A jack," says the little boy.

One weekend my friend, a nurse, was looking after her six-year-old nephew when he fell off a playground slide and hit his head.
Worried that he might have a concussion, she checked him all night. Every hour, she'd gently shake him and ask, "What's your name?" Soon, he began moaning in protest each time she entered the room.
When Sally went in at 5:00 A.M., she found something white on his forehead. Leaning close, she saw a crayon-scrawled message taped to his forehead.
It read: "My name is Daniel."

Ducking into confession with a turkey in his arms, Brian said, "Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned. I stole this turkey to feed my family. Would you take it and settle my guilt?"
"Certainly not," said the Priest. "As penance, you must return it to the one from whom you stole it."
"I tried," Brian sobbed, "but he refused. Oh, Father, what should I do?"
"If what you say is true, then it is all right for you to keep it for your family."
Thanking the Priest, Brian hurried off.
When confession was over, the Priest returned to his residence. When he walked into the kitchen, he found that someone had stolen his turkey.

Hot Air
My pastor friend put sanitary hot air hand dryers in the restrooms at his church and after two weeks took them out.
I asked him why, and he confessed that they worked fine, but when he went into the men's restroom, he saw a sign that read:
"For a sample of this week's sermon, push the button."

Bishop
We were celebrating the 100th anniversary of our church, and several former pastors and the bishop were in attendance. At one point, our minister had the children gather at the altar for a talk about the importance of the day. He began by asking, "Does anyone know what the bishop does?"
There was silence.
Finally, one little boy answered gravely, "He's the one you can move diagonally."

Lumberjack Needed
A large, well-established Canadian lumber camp advertised that they were looking for a good lumberjack.
The very next day, a skinny little man showed up at the camp with his axe and knocked on the head lumberjack's door. The head lumberjack took one look at the little man and told him to leave.
"Just give me a chance to show you what I can do," said the skinny man.
"Okay, see that giant redwood over there?" said the lumberjack. "Take your axe and go cut it down."
The skinny man headed for the tree, and in five minutes he was back knocking on the lumberjack's door. "I cut the tree down," said the man.
The lumberjack couldn't believe his eyes and said, "Where did you get the skill to chop down trees like that?"
"In the Sahara Forest," replied the puny man.
"You mean the Sahara Desert," said the lumberjack.
The little man laughed and answered back, "Oh sure, that's what they call it now!"

An arrogant Department of Agriculture (DOA) representative stopped at a farm and talked with the old farmer. "I need to inspect your farm."
The old farmer said, "You better not go in that field."
The Agricultural representative said in a wise tone, "I have the authority of the U.S. Government with me. See this card? I am allowed to go wherever I wish on agricultural land."
So the old farmer went about his farm chores.
Later, the farmer heard loud screams. He saw the DOA rep running for the fence, and close behind was the farmer's prize bull.
The bull was madder than a nest full of hornets and was gaining at every step.
The old farmer called out: "Show him your card!"

Inheritance
Two friends met in the street. One man looked rather forlorn and down in the mouth. The other man asked, "Hey, how come you look like the whole world caved in?"
The sad fellow said, "Let me tell you. Three weeks ago, an uncle died and left me ten thousand dollars."
"I'm sorry to hear about the death, but a bit of good luck for you, eh?"
"Hold on, I'm just getting started. Two weeks ago, a cousin I never knew kicked the bucket and left me twenty thousand, free and clear."
"Well, you can't be disappointed with that!"
"Yep. But, last week my grandfather passed away. I inherited almost one hundred thousand dollars."
"Incredible! So how come you look so glum?"
"Well, this week ... nothing!"

One turkey talking to another about Thanksgiving.
Whats the worst part of Thanksgiving to you?
Is it having your head cut off, your feathers pluked, your gizzard removed and then slow roasted until your golden brown.
Naw , I dont mind that. I just hate being called ButterBall.
No matter where you go, there you are!

Did you all hear about the three clergymen discussing how to divide their offerings?
The Baptist preacher said, "What I do, is I draw a circle on the floor and I toss the offering up in the air, and whatever lands in the circle belongs to G-d and what lands outside the circle to the congregation.
The Catholic Priest says, in his Irish accent, "Well that's very nice me boy, but you see, we have a better way we make a smaller circle, take the offering up to the choir loft and toss it down on the floor, whatever stays in the circle is G-d's and the rest belongs to the parish.
Of course there is a rabbi, don't get ahead of me now!
So the rabbi, says laughing hysterically, "Oy vey, you Goiem and your, silly little pans. Jews understand (The Holy One, Blessed be He), so well, we know exactly how to divide the offering! We Toss it up in the air, and whatever He wants He keeps!
Enjoy
