Sunday Funnies: April 23

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 3/13/22).

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.

Bertha Belch, a missionary from Africa will be speaking tonight at Calvary Memorial Church in Racine. Come tonight and hear Bertha Belch all the way from Africa.

Ladies, don’t forget the rummage sale. It’s a change to get rid of those things not worth keeping around the house. Don’t forget your husbands.

Next Sunday is the family hayride and bonfire at the Fowlers’. Bring your own hot dogs and guns. Friends are welcome! Everyone come for a fun time!

Smile at someone who is hard to love. Say “hell” to someone who doesn’t care much about you.

The peacemaking meeting schedule for today has been cancelled due to a conflict.

  3. The application of a few of these to our real world today is rather astounding I think, especially given that the phrases contain silly gaffes or misspells. In our reality today some are too spot on…

  10. One of your dad’s best. How did he know who came for religion and who came for laughs? Must have been worth it for both, Wynne.

    1. Now that’s an interesting comment, Dr. Stein. I’m not sure that my dad would have made a big distinction between the gentle perspective that can be gained either way… 😉

  15. Can’t decide which one I like more: “Come tonight and hear Bertha Belch all the way from Africa” or “Ladies, don’t forget the rummage sale. It’s a change to get rid of those things not worth keeping around the house. Don’t forget your husbands.”

    Both are gems!
