Sunday Funnies: March 20

Posted in humorTagged ,

Another installment from my dad’s humor cards.

The backstory: My dad was a Presbyterian pastor for 40 years. He kept a well curated stack of humor cards – little stories or observations that he typed onto 5×7 cards. Then he wrote in the margins when he used that particular item. His humor was often an easy way to settle in to something deeper – by laughing and thinking about the buried truth in these little nuggets, it paved the way to an open heart.

When we cleaned out his desk after he died 7 years ago, I was lucky enough to stumble on this stack. I pull it out regularly to have a little laugh with my dear Dad. Now when I post one of them, I write my note next to his and it feels like a continuation.

Quips:

ATHEIST: Somone who plays golf with minister, priest and rabbi but refuses to concede 2″ putt to any.

Live in such a way that you’d not hesitate to sell your parrot to the town gossip.

A man was carrying a grandfather clock to be repaired runs into someone at the corner. The second man asks, “Why can’t you wear a wrist watch like everyone else?”

Man goes to the doctor and asks, “Is there anything you can do to stop my snoring?” The doctor asks “Why? Does it disturb your wife?” The man answers, “No, it embarrasses her. It’s the rest of the congregation it disturbs.”

I’ve always wondered what butterflies get in their stomachs when they get nervous.

  1. The snoring one is pretty funny. I can imagine that may be aimed at a potential congregant! 😆 The butterfly one is an interesting thing to ponder on. Happy Sunday!
