A good laugh is great medicine
Friday January 12, 2007
As a young minister, I was asked by a funeral director to hold a graveside service for a homeless man, with no family or friends. The funeral was to be held at a newly established cemetery way back in the country, and this man would be the first to be laid to rest there.
As I was not familiar with the backwoods area, I became lost; and, being a typical man, I did not stop for directions. I finally arrived an hour late. I saw the back-hoe and the crew which were already eating their lunch but the hearse was nowhere in sight.
I apologized to the workers for my tardiness, but stepped to the side of the open grave, where I saw the vault lid was already in place. I assured the workers that I would not hold them up for long, but this was the proper thing to do.
The workers all gathered around, still eating their lunch. I poured out my heart and soul. As I preached, the workers began to say Amen, "Praise the Lord," and "Glory." I really got into it, as I preached, and I preached, like I had never preached before: from Genesis to Revelation.
I closed the lengthy service with a prayer, and walked to my car. As I was opening the door and taking off my coat, I heard one of the workers saying to another,
"I ain't never seen anything like that before and I've been putting in septic tanks for twenty years."

A teacher asked her class, "What do you want out of life?"
A little girl in the back row raised her hand and said, "All I want out of life is four little animals."
The teacher asked, "Really and what four little animals would that be sugar?"
The little girl said, "A mink on my back, a jaguar in the garage, a tiger in the bed and a jackass to pay for all of it."

The teacher fainted! | | Posted by Topaz at 8:15 AM - | |

A cowboy is sitting in a bar and a cute woman sits down next to him.
She asks:" Are you a real cowboy?"
He says:" Well, I get up in the mornin and feed the stock. I ride a horse. I mend fences and herd cattle. I believe, I'm a real cowboy.
Then the cowboy asks the woman:" What are you?"
She replies:" I'm a lesbian. I get up in the morning and think about women. When I sleep, I dream about women, and when I want to have sex, I want to have sex with women.
After a few minutes the woman leaves and a couple comes in and sits next to the cowboy and asks:" Are you a real cowboy?"
He replies:"I thought I was, but now I think Im a lesbian."
