Sunday Funnies: June 25

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 5/8/2022).

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.

What a Comeback!

Some parents are taking their son home from church after his baptism and notice he’s sad. They ask him why. He answers, “They told me I should be raised in a Christian family but I want to stay with you guys.”

.A boy calls a girl that he’s dated and gets her answering message, “I am working on some big changes in my life. If you don’t get a call back, you are one of them.” (from Erma Bombeck’s Rules for Life)

.It was that time during the Sunday morning service for the “the children’s sermon,” and all the children were invited to come forward. One little girl was wearing a particularly pretty dress and as she sat down, the pastor leaned over and said to her. “That is a very pretty dress. Is it your Easter dress?”

The little girl replied, directly into the pastor’s clip-on microphone, “Yes, and my mom says it’s a bitch to iron.”

Finding one of her students making faces at others on the playground, Ms. Smith stopped gently reprove the child. Smiling sweetly, the Sunday school teacher said, “Bobby, when I was a child I was told that if I made ugly faces, it would freeze and I would stay like that.”

Bobby looked up and replied, “Well, Ms. Smith, you can’t say you weren’t warned.”

  15. I know a guy who used to iron his kid’s diapers—back in the cloth-diaper days, of course. To each his own, I say. I’m a lifelong certified member of the collapsed ironing board crowd.

    1. WHAT??? Oh my goodness. As you say, to each his own, and that’s what I love about you, Julia. This week, Miss O suggested I could iron a canvas tote bag that she tie dyed. I laughed and said – let’s just let the wrinkles fall out as you use it. 🙂
