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 8/28/2022).
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.
Heaven
A family of mice attempted to cross the freeway and all 21 of them are killed by an 18-wheel truck. They all go to heaven at the same time.
After they’ve been there for one week, St. Peter asks how it is going for them. They say that its wonderful except that heaven is so big it takes them so long to get around. St. Peter responds by giving them all a roller skate to move a bit faster and they love it.
The next week an alley cat is killed and goes to heaven. After a few days St. Peter asks the cat how things are. He replies, “Terrific. I especially like your meals on wheels program.”
🤣🤣🤣such a good one! 🤣🤣🤣

I guess the mice might have reconsidered their alleged afterlife assignment! Tricky Devil!

I wonder if there is a Heaven beyond Heaven for double-dead mice?

Again, I laughed out loud and my husband asked “what?” We both laughed as I read it to him. Thank you.

You’re going to have to get Laverne and Shirley some meals on wheels. Maybe the bugs? Meals on wings? 🙂
