Sunday Funnies: June 11

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 4/24/2022).

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.

God in Advertising

A Ft. Lauderdale advertising agency launched a billboard campaign (including the inside and outside of buses) that included these messages from God:

  1. Let’s Meet at My House Sunday before the Game – God
  2. What part of “Thou Shalt Not…” Didn’t You Understand? – God
  3. We Need to Talk – God
  4. Will the Road You’re on Get You to My Place? – God
  5. That “Love Thy Neighbor” Thing, I Meant It – God
  6. Follow Me – God
  7. Tell the Kids I Love Them – God
  8. My Way is the Highway – God
  9. Need Directions? – God
  10. You Think It’s Hot Here? – God
  11. C’mon Over and Bring the Kids – God
  12. Have You Read My #1 Best Seller? There Will be a Test – God

      1. It’s a practical test – written tests aren’t valid… Continuous assessment, with hundreds of would-be-assessors making their judgements… The real assessor has taken the test, passed it with full marks… and is disappointed but OK with the questions I regularly get wrong!

  4. Love all of these…but #5 spoke to me especially…I have a friend who saw some aggressive shoving recently on a public bus and the reminder to “Love Thy Neighbor” while flying, riding – buses, plains, trains…whatever…seems, sadly, necessary these days.
    What a fun ad agency to devise these quips. Are they hiring? Sounds like my kind of people! 🥰

    1. Mary – such a good question. One of these days I’ll post a full sermon of my dad’s and maybe it’ll answer how he snuck little gems in!
