For the Sick

Monday, June 29th, 2009

A little girl was in church with her mother when she started feeling ill.
“Mommy,” she said, “can we leave now?”
“No” her mother replied.
“Well, I think I’m gonna be sick, Momma!”
“Then go out the front door and around to the back of the church and then behind a bush.”

After about 60 seconds the little girl returned to her seat.
“Were you sick?” her mom asked.
“Yes.”
“How could you have gone all the way to the back of the church and returned so quickly?”
“I didn’t have to go out of the church, Mommy. They have a box next to the front door that says, ‘For the Sick’.”

The Genius Reverend

Sunday, May 31st, 2009

At the conclusion of the sermon, the worshipers filed out of the sanctuary to greet the minister.

As one of them left, he shook the minister’s hand, thanked him for the sermon and said, “Thanks for the message, Reverend. You know, you must be smarter than Einstein.”

Beaming with pride, the minister said, “Why, thank you, brother!”

As the week went by, the minister began to think about the man’s compliment. The more he thought, the more he became baffled as to why anyone would deem him smarter than Einstein. So he decided to ask the man the following Sunday.

The next Sunday he asked the parishioner if he remembered the previous Sunday’s comment about the sermon. The parishioner replied that he did.

The minister asked, “Exactly what did you mean that I must be smarter than Einstein?”

The man replied, “Well, Reverend, they say that Einstein was so smart that only ten people in the entire world could understand him. But Reverend, no one can understand you.”

Taxman in the Church

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

At the end of the tax year, the Tax Office sent an inspector to audit the books of a Synagogue.
While he was checking the books he turned to the Rabbi and said, ‘I notice you buy a lot of candles. What do you do with the candle drippings?’
‘Good question,’ noted the Rabbi. ‘We save them up and send them back to the candle makers, and every now and then they send us a free box of candles.’
‘Oh,’ replied the auditor, somewhat disappointed that his unusual question had a practical answer.
But on he went, in his obnoxious way:
‘What about all these bread-wafer purchases? What do you do with the crumbs?’
‘Ah, yes,’ replied the Rabbi, realising that the inspector was trying to trap him with an unanswerable question. ‘We collect them and send them back to the manufacturers, and every now and then they send us a free box of bread-wafers.’
‘I see,’ replied the auditor, thinking hard about how he could fluster the know-it-all Rabbi. ‘Well, Rabbi,’ he went on, ‘what do you do with all the leftover foreskins from the circumcisions you perform?’
‘Here, too, we do not waste,’ answered the Rabbi…
‘What we do is save all the foreskins and send them to the Tax Office, and about once a year they send us a complete dick.’

Confession

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009

A priest getting ready to hear confessions duddenly realized that he desparately had to go to the bathroom. He looked outside the confessional and saw the janitor walking by. He pulled him aside and said: “Look, I really gotta go to the bathroom, but people are lining up for confession. Could you take over for a few minutes?” The janitor began to protest, but the priest said: “Look, its easy. I have the sins and give them penance. No one will know it’s you in there” The janitor agreed and took his place in the confessional.

The first parishioner entered the confessional and began “Bless me father, for I have sinned. I have commited adultery.” The janitor looked on the chart and found “Adultery - 20 Hail Mary”. He mumbled some forgiveness sounding words and told the parishioner to say 20 Hail Marys. The parishioner thanked him and left. The janitor breathed a sign of relief.

The second parishioner entered the confessional and began “Bless me father, for I have sinned. I have used the Lord’s name in vain.” The janitor looked down the list “Lord’s name in vail - 5 Hail Marys”, and assigned them. The janitor thought “Hey, I can do this. I just might get away with it!”

The third parishioner entered and began, “Bless me father, for I have sinned. I have engaged in anal sex.” The janitor consulted his chart, but could find neither “Anal Sex” nor “Sex, Anal”. He began to get worried. He looked out of the confessional and spied an altar walking by. He motioned the boy over. In a hushed voice, he said “Tell me something kid, what does the priest give for anal sex?”. The altar boy looked him quizzically and said, “Well, two twinkies and a glass of milk.”
