Pardon the pun
Leland Parrott reports:
I saw some strange goings-on in the city today. A group of sterile monks in white robes were circling a large urn containing flowers. They were chanting, raising their hands, bowing to the urn and performing some kind of ritual on one young member of the group.
It appeared to be a vase sect to me.
Hymns for her
One Sunday, a pastor told the congregation that the church needed some extra money and asked the people to prayerfully consider giving a little extra in the offering plate. He said that whoever gave the most would be able to pick out three hymns.
After the offering plates were passed, the pastor glanced down and noticed that someone had placed a $1,000 bill in the offering. He was so excited that he immediately shared his joy with his congregation and said he'd like to personally thank the person who placed the money in the plate.
A very quiet, elderly and saintly lady all the way in the back shyly raised her hand. The pastor asked her to come to the front. Slowly she made her way to the pastor. He told her how wonderful it was that she gave so much and in thanksgiving asked her to pick out three hymns.
Her eyes brightened as she looked over the congregation, pointed to the three handsomest men in the building and said, "I'll take him and him and him."
Doctor on call?
A strained voice called out through the darkened theater, "Please, is there a doctor in the house?"
Several men stood up as the lights came on.
An older lady pulled her daughter up to stand next to her. "Good. Are any of you single and interested in a date with a nice, Jewish girl?"
