Sunday Funnies: Jan 22

Posted in humorTagged ,

A re-run of my dad’s humor cards. They make me chuckle all over again – so I hope you enjoy them whether it’s the first time or second (first posted on 11/21/2021).

The backstory: My dad was a Presbyterian pastor for 40 years. He kept a well curated stack of humor cards – little stories he heard, found or saw and then 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.

Honoring the Dead

A 12-year-old was coming out of church with his father and saw a large board with rows of little name plates. He asked his dad what it meant and his father replied, “Those are the names of people from our church who died in the service.”

The boy paused then asked, “Which one – the 9:30 or the 11?”

  3. Okay…this one’s got the hubster chuckling, too! He happened by as I was reading and did that pause-y thing….so I shared. Which service, indeed! Thanks for starting our Sunday with a giggle! 🤣

  5. Kids are so blunt and this one made me laugh. We were at a wedding yesterday and there was a crying baby during the ceremony and T muttered out loud, “Oh my God, that baby is so annoying.” 😆 I do love their honesty.

  11. I watch myself from a distance when I read humor. I want to observe my reaction. Your Sunday Funnies always make me giggle out loud and then I sit here smiling at the embedded wisdom, especially of children. Thanks Wynne, hugs, C
