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 3/27/22).
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.
Potty Talk
A woman in England runs out of petrol. She can’t find anything to carry gas in – until she spies her child’s portable potty. She walks 3 km, gets the gas and returns to the car. She is pouring it from the potty into the tank when a Cadillac pulls up beside her.
The window rolls down to reveal four men from Saudi Arabia looking at her with astonishment. They finally say, “Ma’am, we don’t share your religion, but we want you to know we admire your faith.”
Love this Wynne. So funny. 😍
Happy Mother’s Day Wynne. I’m sure your children will spoil you 💝
