TO DRIVE OR NOT TO DRIVE
A young boy had just gotten his driving permit. He asked his father, who was a minister, if they could discuss his use of the car. His father said to him, "I'll make a deal with you. You bring your grades up, study your bible a little, and get your hair cut, then we'll talk." A month later the boy came back and again asked his father if they could discuss his use of the car. His father said, "Son, I'm real proud of you. You've brought your grades up, you've studied your bible diligently, but you haven't had your hair cut." The young man waited a moment and replied, "You know dad, I've been thinking about that. Samson had long hair; Moses had long hair; Noah had long hair; and, even Jesus had long hair." His father replied, "Yes, son, and they walked everywhere they went!
Drinks are on…
A priest, a pastor, and a rabbi are walking down the street on a hot day and are quite thirsty. They pass a busy bar and want to go in and get a drink but have no money. But the priest comes up with an idea that he thinks might work, so he goes in alone, telling the others that if his idea works they can all get free drinks.
He orders his drink, and when he's finished with it, the bartender gives him his tab. The priest says, "But son,... I already paid for the drink!" The bartender says, "I'm terribly sorry father but it's really busy in here and I must have forgotten."
The priest goes out and tells the pastor and the rabbi what happened, so the pastor goes in.
The pastor orders his drink and then informs the bartender that he already had paid when the bartender asks him for the money. Again the bartender apologizes.
Finally the rabbi goes in and orders his drink. Again the bartender gives him the tab and the rabbi tells him, "Son, I paid you when I ordered the drink." "I'm terribly sorry rabbi," says the bartender, "I don't know what's wrong with me, but your the third man of the cloth that I've done this to." "I'm sorry son," says the rabbi, "but I'm in a terrible hurry,... Just give me my change for the $20 I gave you, and I'll be on my way!"
True Police Story
A motorist was unknowingly caught in an automated speed trap that measured his speed using radar and photographed his car.
He later received in the mail, a ticket for $40.00, and a photo of his car.
Instead of the payment, he sent the police department a photograph of two $20.00 bills.
Several days later, he received a letter from the police department that contained another picture of handcuffs.
