Sunday Funnies: Jan 29

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 12/5/2021).

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.

Job Well Done?

A woman hired a carpet layer to put down a huge new carpet. It was a job that took most of the day. After the largest room was laid, the worker stepped outside for a smoking break. But he couldn’t find his pack of cigarettes.

He went back in to look for them and saw a small lump in the middle of the huge living room carpet. There was no way he was going to pull the carpet up – so he got a mallet from his truck and pounded it flat.

Just then the woman came in. “Oh” she said, “I found these cigarettes in the other room. Are they yours? Now if I can just find my parakeet…”

  6. My wife’s Buddhist teacher does the same thing. My fave: A wife calls her husband as he’s driving to work. “Be careful, they said on the radio that some idiot is driving the wrong way on the highway.” The husband responds: “I know, it’s not just one person either. Everyone seems to be going the wrong way.”

  13. Very hilarious and great post indeed! My fav is the first date. Often times we’re confused with our own thought, is the other person telling the truth or lying, and at the end we just think of fxck it, let’s go on for second date.
