DECEMBER

 
Last Wishes

 A husband and wife had four boys. The odd part of it was that the  older three had red hair, light skin and were tall, while the younges son had black hair, dark eyes and was short.

 The father eventually took ill and was lying on his deathbed when  he turned to his wife and said, ''Honey, before I die, be totally honest with me -- is our youngest son my child?''
 
 The wife replied, ''I swear on everything that is holy that he is your son.''
 
 With that the husband passed away. The wife then muttered, ''Thank God he didn't ask about the other three.''

Good News - Bad News                                    

   An artist asked the gallery owner if there had been any interest in his paintings on display at that time. 

"I have some good news and some bad news," the owner replied."  The good news is that a gentle man inquired about your work and wondered if it would appreciate in value after your death."  "When I told him it would, he bought all fifteen of your paintings."

   "That's wonderful," the artist exclaimed.

From The Mouths of Babes


HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY?

You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff.
Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports,
and she should keep the chips and dip coming.
-- Alan, age 10

No person really decides before they grow up who they're going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you're stuck with.
-- Kirsten, age 10


WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?

Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then.
-- Camille, age 10

No age is good to get married at. You got to be a fool to get married.
-- Freddie, age 6


HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?

You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids.
-- Derrick, age 8


WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON?

Both don't want any more kids.
-- Lori, age 8


WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?

Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough.
-- Lynnette, age 8

On the first date, they just tell each other lies, and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date.
-- Martin, age10


WHAT WOULD YOU DO ON A FIRST DATE THAT WAS TURNING SOUR?

I'd run home and play dead. The next day I would call all the newspapers and make sure they wrote about me in all the dead columns.
-- Craig, age 9


WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?

When they're rich.
-- Pam, age 7

The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess with that.
-- Curt, age 7

The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry them and have kids with them. It's the right thing to do.
-- Howard, age 8


IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED?
 
I don't know which is better, but I'll tell you one thing. I'm never going to have sex with my wife. I don't want to be all grossed out.
-- Theodore, age 8

It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need
someone to clean up after them.
-- Anita, age 9


HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN'T GET MARRIED?

There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there?
-- Kelvin, age 8



"And the #1 Favorite is........"


HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?

Tell your wife that she looks pretty even if she looks like a truck.

A Tough Golf Game
 
 A wife begins to get a little worried because her husband has not  arrived home on time from his regular Saturday afternoon golf game.
 
 As the hours pass she becomes more and more concerned until, at 8 p.m., the husband finally pulls into the driveway.

 "What happened?" asked the wife. "You should have been home hours ago!"
 
 "Gus had a heart attack at the third hole," replied the husband.
 
 "Oh, that's terrible," said the wife.
 
 "I know," the husband answered. "All day long it was, hit the ball, drag Gus, hit the ball, drag Gus . . . "


Survival Skills
 
 
 At the site of the crash, one lone survivor sat with his back  against a tree, chewing on a bone.  As he tossed the bone onto  a huge pile of there bones, he noticed the rescue team.  "Thank  God", he cried out in relief.  "I am saved!"
 
 The rescue team did not move, as they were in shock, seeing the  pile of human bones beside this lone survivor.  Obviously he had  eaten his comrades.
 
 The survivor saw the horror in their faces and hung his own head  in shame. "You can't judge me for this," he insisted.
 
 "I had to survive.  Is it so wrong to want to live?"
 
 The leader of the rescue team stepped forward, shaking his head  in disbelief.  "I won't judge you for doing what was necessary  to survive, but my God man, your plane only went down yesterday!"


Results

After a preacher died and went to heaven, he noticed that a New York cab driver had been awarded a higher place than he.
 
 "I don't understand," he complained to Saint Peter.  "I devoted my entire life to my congregation."
 
 "Our policy here in Heaven is to reward results," Saint Peter explained.
 "Now, was your congregation well attuned to you whenever you gave a sermon?"
 
 "Well," the minister had to admit, "some in the congregation fell asleep from time to time."
 
 "Exactly," said Saint Peter. "And when people rode in this man's taxi, they not only stayed awake, they even prayed."


A Fable
 
 There was an old man, a boy, and a donkey. They were going to  town and it was decided that the boy should ride. As they went  along they passed some people who thought that it was a shame for  the boy to ride and the old man to walk. The old man and boy decided that maybe the critics were right, so they changed positions.
 
 Later, they passed some more people who thought that it was a real  shame for that man to make such a small boy walk. The two decided  that maybe they both should walk.
 
 Soon they passed some more people who thought that it was stupid to walk when they had a donkey to ride. The man and the boy decided maybe the critics were right so, they decided that they both should ride.
 
 
 They soon passed other people who thought that it was a shame to put such a load on a poor little animal. The old man and the boy decided that maybe the critics were right, so they decided to carry the donkey.
 
 As they crossed a bridge they lost their grip on the animal and he  fell into the river and drowned.
 
 The moral of the story: If you try to please everyone, you will  eventually lose your ass.

God


A nine year old boy asks his mother, "Is God male or female?"

After thinking for a moment, his mother responds, "Well God is both male and female."

This confuses the boy, so he asks, "Is God black or white?"

"Well," she says, "God is both black and white."

This really confuses the boy, so he asks, "Is God gay or straight?"

Feeling a bit out of her depth, but wanting to be consistent, the mother answers, "Honey, God is both gay and straight."

At this the boy's face lights up with understanding and he triumphantly asks...

"Is Michael Jackson God?"

FUNNY THOUGHTS
"This day holds a lot of meaning for me. It was on this day two years ago that I lost my dear wife and children. I'll never forget that game of cards...."


What Hit Me?

There was this little guy sitting in a bar, drinking his beer, minding his own business when all of a sudden this great big dude comes in and -- WHACK!! -- knocks him off the bar stool and onto the floor. The big dude says, "That was a karate chop from Korea."

The little guy thinks "GEEZ," but he gets back up on the stool and starts drinking again when all of a sudden -- WHACK!! -- the big dude knocks him down AGAIN. This time he says, "That was a judo chop from Japan." So the little guy has had enough of this... He gets up, brushes himself off and quietly leaves. The little guy is gone for an hour or so when he returns. Without saying a word, he walks up behind the big dude and -- WHAM!!!" -- knocks the big dude off his stool, knocking him out cold!!! The little guy looks at the bartender and says,

"When he gets up, tell him that's a crowbar from Sears."


Forgetful

The man looked a little worried when the doctor came in to administer his annual physical, so the first thing the doctor did was to ask whether anything was troubling him.

"Well, to tell the truth, Doc, yes," answered the patient.

"You see, I seem to be getting forgetful. No, it's actually worse than that. I can never remember where I park my car, where I'm going, or what it is I'm going to do once I get there - if I get there. So, I really need your help. What can I do?"

The doctor mused for a moment, then answered in his kindest tones, "Pay me in advance."


ON SUPERSTITIONS

Danny said, "I wonder if it's really bad luck to have a black cat cross your path."

Jillian said, "That depends on whether you're a man or a mouse."



Unicorn Hunter

Two hunters were in a lodge, making small talk.  One of them
asked the other, "So, what do you hunt?"

He answered, "I hunt unicorns."

The first hunter was startled, but said, "Really?  How do you do that?"

The other answered "I find a virgin and hire her to help me.
The virgin sits around in the woods until a unicorn comes to her.  When it does, it sets off a snare."

The first hunter said "Boy, they must be hard to find.  I've heard of them, but I've never seen one."

The second hunter said "Yeah, and there aren't many unicorns around, either!"


Windows

A window salesman telephoned his blonde customer. "Ms. Brown, our company replaced all your windows with triple-glazed models more than a year ago, and we still haven't received a single payment."  "But,", the blonde protested, "You promised me they would pay for themselves in 12 months."


Detective

Three guys were pulled out of detective training for special attention, because they were not very bright. The police chief was interrogating them to determine if they were smart enough to become detectives.
 If not, they couldn't continue with the training. Things had not gone well so far.

 To test their skills in recognizing a suspect, he shows the first detective a picture for five seconds and then hides it. "This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?"

 The first guy answers, "That's easy, we'll catch him fast because he only has one eye!"
 The Chief says, "Well...uh...that's because the picture only shows his PROFILE." Slightly flustered by this ridiculous response, he flashes the picture for five seconds at the second guy and asks him, "This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?"

 The second guy laughs, rolls his eyes and says, "Ha! He'd be too easy to catch because he only has one ear!"
 The chief angrily responds, "What's the matter with you two? Of course only one eye and one ear are showing because it's a picture of his PROFILE! Is that the best answer you can come up with?" Extremely frustrated at this point, he show the picture to the third guy and in a very testy voice asks, "This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?" He quickly adds, "..think hard before giving me a stupid answer."

 The guy looks at the picture intently for a moment and says, "Hmmmm... the suspect wears contact lenses."

 The chief is surprised and speechless because he really doesn't
know himself if the suspect wears contacts or not. "Well that is an interesting answer... wait here a few minutes while I check this file and I'll get back to you on that." He leaves the room and goes into his office, checks the suspect's file in his computer, and comes back with a beaming smile on his face.

 "Wow, I can't believe it..it's true! The suspect does in fact wear contacts. Good Work! How were you able to make such an astute observation?"

 "That's easy," the guy replied. "He can't wear regular glasses because he only has one eye and one ear."


Swerving car

A State Trooper pulls over a swerving car on a lonely back road and  approaches the blonde lady driver.

 "Ma'am," he says, "is there a reason why you're weaving all over the road?"

 The woman replies: "Oh officer, thank goodness you're here! I
almost had an accident. I looked up and there was a tree right in front of me.
 I swerved to the left and there was another tree in front of me. I swerved to the right and there was another tree in front of me!"

"Ma'am," the officer replies, tapping the blonde's windshield,
"that's your air freshener."
