Joke – Amen
Two guys who were long time friends in the church they attended were having an argument. Bob says to Charlie, “Charlie, I wish you would quit banging folks over the head with yer Bible. You are always pushin’ your personal beliefs on folks that don’t want to hear them. For God’s sake, just stop it. I bet you don’t even know the Lord’s Prayer, do you?”
“Well, of course I do,” replied Charlie.
Bob says, “I bet you ten bucks you can’t recite it right this minute!”
Charlie puffs up, “Put you money where your mouth is, here’s my ten!”
Bob pulls out ten dollars and says, “Let’s hear it.”
Charlie clears his throat and begins, “Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep.”
Bob waves his hand and says, “Okay, I’ve heard enough. Here’s your ten bucks. I’m astonished that you knew it!”
Movie Theater
A man lies sprawled across three seats in a fancy theater. An usher walks by and sees the man.
“Sorry sir, but you’re allowed only one seat,” the usher says.
The man groans but doesn’t budge. The usher gets frustrated and summons the manager. The two theater workers try to move the man, without success. Finally, the manager not know what else to do, calls the police.
When an officer arrives, he asks the man, “Buddy, what’s your name?”
“Sam,” the man moans.
“Where you from, Sam?” the cop asks.
“The Balcony,” Sam gasps.
Mental Age Assessment
The following test was developed as a mental age assessment by the School of Psychiatry at Harvard University.
Take your time and see if you can read each line aloud without a mistake. The average person over 50 years of age cannot do it.
1. This is this cat.
2. This is is cat.
3. This is how cat.
4. This is to cat.
5. This is keep cat.
6. This is an cat.
7. This is old cat.
8. This is person cat.
9. This is busy cat.
10. This is for cat.
11. This is forty cat.
12. This is seconds cat.
Now go back and read the third word in each line from the top down. I bet you can’t resist passing this on.
