THE TEN DOLLAR CAR
A woman offered a brand-new car for sale for a price of ten
dollars. A man answered the ad, but he was slightly
skeptical. "What's the gimmick?" he inquired.
"No gimmick," the woman answered. "My husband died, and in
his will he asked that the car be sold and the money go to
his secretary."
BILL'S CLOCK
Hillary Clinton died and went to heaven. As she stood in
front of St. Peter at the Pearly Gates, she saw a huge wall
of clocks behind him.
She asked, "What are all those clocks?"
St. Peter answered, "Those are Lie-Clocks. Everyone on Earth
has a Lie-Clock. Every time you lie, the hands on your clock
will move."
"Oh," said Hillary, "who's clock is that?"
"That's Mother Teresa's. The hands have never moved
indicating that she never told a lie."
"Whose clock is that?"
"That's Abraham Lincoln's clock. The hands have only moved
twice, telling us that Abe only told 2 lies in his entire life."
Hillary asked, "Where's Bill's clock?"
"Bill's clock is in my office. I'm using it as a ceiling fan."
HEAVENLY BASEBALL
There are these two guys named John and Cliff. They were best
friends and were so obsessed with baseball that they would go
to 60 games a year and analyze every scoreboard. They even
promised each other that when one of them goes to heaven, the
deceased one would come back and tell the other whether there
was baseball in heaven or not.
One night Cliff dies in his sleep after watching a Chicago
White Sox game -- Chicago won, so at least he died a happy
man. The next day Cliff returns to earth to see his friend.
"Hi, John."
"Cliff, is it really you?"
"Hey, I told you I'd be back to tell you what's up. And, you
know John, there's good news and bad news."
"Okay. What's the good news?"
"There is baseball in heaven."
"The bad news?"
"You're pitching tomorrow night."

WISH UPON A FROG
A woman was out golfing one day when she hit her ball into the
woods. She went into the woods to look for it and found a frog in a trap. The frog said to her, "If you release me from this trap, I will grant you 3 wishes." The woman freed the frog and the frog said, "Thank you, but I failed to mention that there was a condition to your wishes - whatever you wish for, your husband will get 10 times more or better!" The woman said, "That would be okay," and for her first wish, she wanted to be the most
beautiful woman in the world. The frog warned her, "You do realize that this wish will also make your husband the most handsome man in the world, an Adonis, that women will flock to." The woman replied, "That will be okay because I will be the most beautiful woman and he will only have eyes for me." So, KAZAM - she's the most beautiful woman in the world!
For her second wish, she wanted to be the richest woman in the world. The frog said, "That will make your husband the richest man in the world and he will be ten times richer than you." The woman said, "That will be okay because what is mine is his and what is his is mine." So, KAZAM she's the richest woman in the world! The frog then inquired about her
third wish, and she answered," I'd like a mild heart attack."
LET'S GO TO THE MOVIES
For the first time in many years, a an old man traveled
from his rural town to the city to attend a movie. After
buying his ticket, he stopped at the concession stand to
purchase some popcorn. Handing the attendant $1.50, he
couldn't help but comment, "The last time I came to the
movies, popcorn was only 15 cents."
"Well, sir," the attendant replied with a grin, "You're
really going to enjoy yourself. We have sound now."
LET THERE BE LIGHT
In the back woods of Arkansas, Mr. Stewart's wife went into
labor in the middle of the night, and the doctor was called
out to assist in the delivery.
To keep the nervous father-to-be busy, the doctor handed
him a lantern and said, "Here, you hold this high so I can
see what I'm doing." Soon, a wee baby boy was brought into
the world.
"Whoa there Scotty!" said the doctor. "Don't be in a rush to
put the lantern down... I think there's yet another wee one to
come." Sure enough, within minutes he had delivered
another little baby.
"No, no, don't be in a great hurry to be putting down that
lantern, young man... It seems there's yet another one
besides!" cried the doctor.
The new father scratched his head in bewilderment, and
asked the doctor. "Do ye think it's the light that's attractin'
them?"
THE HAIRCUT
A young boy had just gotten his driving permit. He asked his father, who was a minister, if they could discuss his use of the car. His father said to him, "I`ll make a deal with you. You bring your grades up, study your bible more, and get you hair cut, then we will talk about it."
A month later the boy came back and again asked his father if they could discuss his use of the car. His father said, "Son, I`m real proud of you. You have brought your grades up, you`ve studied your bible diligently, but you didn`t get a hair cut!"
The young man waited a moment and replied, "You know dad, I`ve been thinking about that. You know Samson had long hair, Moses had long hair, Noah had long hair, and even Jesus had long hair." His father replied, "Yes son, and they walked everywhere they went!"
The Ticket
A Jewish guy called Jacob finds himself in dire trouble. His business has
gone bust and he's in serious financial trouble. He's so desperate that he
decides to ask God for help. He goes into the synagogue and begins to pray. "God, please help me, I've lost my business and if I don't get some money, I'm going to lose my house as well, please let me win the lotto." Lotto night comes and somebody else wins it. Jacob goes back to the synagogue. "God please let me win the lotto, I've lost my business, my house and I'm going to lose my car as well." Lotto night comes and Jacob still has no luck!! Back to the synagogue... "My God, why have you forsaken me? I've lost my business, my house, and my car. My wife and children are starving. I don't often ask you for help and I have always been a good servant to you. Why won't you just let me win the lotto this one time so I can get my life back in order?" Suddenly there is a blinding flash of light as the heavens open and Jacob is confronted by the voice of GOD himself: "JACOB, MEET ME HALF WAY ON THIS ONE. BUY A TICKET!"
Dead Donkey
A clergyman awoke one morning to find a dead donkey in his front yard. He had no idea how it got there, but he knew he had to get rid of it. So, he
called the sanitation department, the health department, and several other
agencies, but no one seemed able to help him. In desperation, the good reverend called the mayor and asked what should be done. The mayor must have been having a bad day. "Why bother me?" he asked. "You're a
clergyman. It's your job to bury the dead." The pastor lost his cool. "Yes,"
he snapped, "But I thought I should at least notify the next-of-kin."
Benny Hinn's Dog
This charismatic Christian couple felt it important to own an equally
charismatic Christian pet. So, they went shopping. At a kenne specializing in this particular breed, they found a dog they liked quite a lot. When they asked the dog to fetch the Bible, he did it in a flash. When they instructed him to look up Psalm 23, he complied equally fast, using his paws with dexterity.
They were impressed, purchased the animal, and went home (piously, of
course). That night they had friends over. They were so proud of their new dog and his major skills, they called the dog and showed off a little. The friends were impressed, and asked whether the dog was able to do
any of the usual dog tricks, as well. This stopped the couple cold, as they hadn't thought about 'normal' tricks.
"Well," they said, "let's try this out." Once more they called out to the dog, and then clearly pronounced the command, "Heel!"
Quick as a wink, the dog jumped up, put his paw on the man's forehead,
closed his eyes in concentration, and bowed his head.
Burglars Just Broke In
An elderly woman had just returned to her home from an evening church service when she was startled by an intruder. As she caught the man in the act of robbing her home of its valuables, she yelled, "Stop! Acts 2:38!" [Peter admonishes us to turn from our sin]
The burglar stopped dead in his tracks. Then the woman calmly called the
police and explained what she had done.
As the officer cuffed the man to take him in, he asked the burglar,"Why did
you just stand there? All the old lady did was yell a scripture at you."
"Scripture?" replied the burglar, "She said she had an axe and two 38s!"
