Sunday Funnies: May 7

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 3/20/22).

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.

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.

  2. The only reasonable answer to the last question is that they get humans in their stomachs. The next question is how we manage to fit?

    1. Oh, what an interesting post. I think my favorite of all the words presented is gloam. I’m not sure I ever used that one before. Thanks for the delightful link, Erin!

  12. These are all great, but my favorite is “Live in such a way that you’d not hesitate to sell your parrot to the town gossip.” reminds me of little children who often innocently repeat what they have heard…lol
