Scene 1 ---------------------- It's a fine sunny day in the forest, and a rabbit is sitting outside his burrow, tippy-tapping on his typewriter. Along comes a fox, out for a walk. Fox "What are you working on?" Rabbit "My PhD thesis." Fox "Hmmm. What's it about?" Rabbit "Oh, I'm writing about how rabbits eat foxes." (incredulous pause) Fox "That's ridiculous! Any fool knows that rabbits don't eat foxes." Rabbit "Sure they do, and I can prove it. Come with me." They both disappear into the rabbit's burrow. After a few minutes, the rabbit returns, alone, to his typewriter and resumes typing. Scene 2: ---------------------- Soon, a wolf comes along and stops to watch the hardworking rabbit. Wolf "What's that you're writing?" Rabbit "I'm doing a thesis on how rabbits eat wolves." (loud guffaws) Wolf "You don't expect to get such rubbish published, do y...

1. Men are like Slinkies . . . not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs. 2. Every teenager should get a high school education. Even if they already know everything. 3. I read recipes the same way I read science fiction. I get to the end and think, "Well, that's not going to happen." 4. Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing. 5. The other night I ate at a real nice family restaurant. Every table had an argument going. 6. Have you noticed since everyone has a camcorder and cell phone camera these days no one talks about seeing UFOs like they used to. 7. You know when you're sitting on a chair and you lean back so you're just sitting on two legs then you lean too far and you almost fall over but at the last second you catch yourself? I feel like that all the time. 8. According to a recent survey, men say the first thing they notice...

Judge: Why did you hit your husband with a chair?" Wife: "I couldn't lift the table." ****** "What did one ghost say to another?" " Do you believe in people ?" ****** My friend has a fine watch dog. At any suspicious noise he wakes the dog and the dog begins to bark. ****** They call our language the mother tongue because the father seldom gets to speak. ****** "Room Service? Can you send up a towel?" " Please wait someone else is using it ." ****** When I told the doctor about my loss of memory, he made me pay in advance. ****** "Where did you get those big eyes?"

I argue very well. Ask any of my remaining friends. I can win an argument on any topic, against any opponent. People know this, and steer clear of me at parties. Often, as a sign of their great respect, they don't even invite me. You too can win arguments. Simply follow these rules: 1. Drink Liquor Suppose you're at a party and some hotshot intellectual is expounding on the economy of Peru, a subject you know nothing about. If you're drinking some health-fanatic drink like grapefruit juice, you'll hang back, afraid to display your ignorance, while the hotshot enthralls your date. But if you drink several large martinis, you'll discover you have STRONG VIEWS about the Peruvian economy. You'll be a WEALTH of information. You'll argue forcefully, offering searing insights and possibly upsetting furniture. People will be impressed. Some may leave the room. 2. Make things up Suppose, in the Peruvian economy argument, you are trying to prove P...

Mike told his doctor he wasn't able to do all the things around the house that he used to do. When the examination was complete, he said, "Now, Doc, I can take it. Tell me in plain English what's wrong with me." "Well, in plain English," the doctor replied "You're just plain lazy." "Thank You." said Mike. "Now give me the medical term, so I can tell my wife !"

The boss joined a group of his workers at the coffee urn and told a series of jokes he'd heard recently. Everybody laughed loudly. Everybody, that is except Mike. When he noticed that he was getting no reaction from Mike, the boss said, "What's the matter, Mike? No sense of humor?" "My sense of humor is fine," he said. "But I don't have to laugh. I'm quitting tomorrow."

   Hello God, I called tonight     To talk a little while..     I need a friend who'll listen     To my anxiety and trial...     You see, I can't quite make it     Though a day just on my own...     I need your love to guide me,     So I'll never feel alone.     I want to ask you please to keep     My family safe and sound.     Come and fill their lives with confidence     For whatever fate they're bound.     Give me faith, dear God, to face     Each hour throughout the day,     And not to worry over things     I can't change in any way.     I thank you God, for being home     And listening to my call,     For giving me such good advice     When I stumble and fall.  ...

I was walking down life's highway a long time ago.  One day I saw a sign that read, "HEAVEN'S GROCERY STORE".  As I got a little closer, the door came open wide, And when I came to myself I was standing inside.  I saw a host of ANGELS. They were standing everywhere.  One handed me a basket and said, "My Child, shop with care". Everything a human needed was in that grocery store. And all you couldn't carry, you could come back the next day for more. First, I got some PATIENCE: LOVE was in the same row.  Further down was UNDERSTANDING: you need that everywhere you go.  I got a box or two of WISDOM, a bag or two of FAITH. I just couldn't miss the HOLY GHOST, for it was all over the place.  I stopped to get some STRENGTH, And COURAGE to help me run this race.  By then my basket was getting full, But I remembered I needed some GRACE.  I didn't forget SALVATION, for SALVATION was free, So I tried to get enough of...

One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry. He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door.  Instead of a meal, he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked  hungry so brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, "How much do I owe you?" "You don't owe me  anything," she replied.  "Mother has taught us never to accept pay  for a kindness."  He said, "Then I thank you from my heart."  As Howard Kelly left that house,  he not only felt stronger physically, but his faith in  God and man was strong also. He had been ready to give up and quit.   Year's later, that young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her t...

A man went to a barber shop to have his hair and his beard cut as always.   He started to have a good conversation with the barber who attended him.   They talked about so many things and various subjects.   Suddenly, they touched the subject of God.   The barber said: "Look man, I don't believe that God exists as you say so."   "Why do you say that?" - asked the client. Well, it's so easy, you just have   to go out in the street to realize that God does not exist.   Oh, tell me, if God existed, would there be so many sick people?   Would there be abandoned children?   If God existed, there would be no suffering nor pain. I can't   think of a God who permits all of these things."   The client stopped for a moment thinking but he didn't want to respond so   as to prevent an argument. The barber finished his job and the client went   out of the shop.   Just after he left the barb...
