Sunday Funnies: June 18

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 5/1/2022).

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.

The following are actual quotes from grade school essays on classical music:

  • Music sung by two people at the same time is called a duel.
  • Agnus Dei was a woman composer famous for her church music.
  • I know what a sextet is but I’d rather not say.
  • Probably the most marvelous fugue was the one between the Hatfields and the McCoys.
  • Refrain – what you refrain from singing.

  2. You’ve given your dad a second life as a comedian, Wynne. Unfortunately, he has yet to break through on YouTube, but it’s only a matter of time!
