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 9/18/2022).
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.
Try This at a Party
Two men are shuffling down the hall of their retirement home, in opposite directions. Just as they come up to each other, one says:
“Do you know what my name is?”
The other stops, looks carefully at him for a bit, rolls his eyes as he thinks and finally answers:
“How soon do you need to know?“
