Sunday Funnies: May 1

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.

Kids on Music from Music Magazine

The following are actual quotes from grade school essays on classical music:

  • Music sung by two people at the same time is called a duel.
  • Agnus Dei was a woman composer famous for her church music.
  • I know what a sextet is but I’d rather not say.
  • Probably the most marvelous fugue was the one between the Hatfields and the McCoys.
  • Refrain – what you refrain from singing.

  9. I think the most marvelous fugue was Walter White ambling naked down the aisles of a convenience store after disappearing into the desert for a few days. IYKYK.
