Guest guest Posted February 26, 2000 Report Share Posted February 26, 2000 Weekend Humour : ) " Dave Markham " The Sunday School teacher wanted to teach her 5th grade class a lesson about the evils of liquor, so she produced a demonstration that involved a glass of water, a glass of whiskey, and two worms. " Now, class, closely observe the worms, " said the teacher while putting a worm into the water. The worm in the water writhed about, happy as a worm in water could be. She then put the second worm into the whiskey. It curled up and writhed about painfully, then quickly sank to the bottom, dead as a doornail. " Now, what lesson can we learn from this demonstration? " the teacher asked. Johnny, who naturally sits in back, raised his hand and wisely, responded confidently, " Drink whiskey and you won't get worms. " ======= ======= So it seems that these four rabbis had a series of theological arguments, and three were always in accord against the fourth. One day, the odd rabbi out, after the usual " 3 to 1, majority rules " statement that signified that he had lost again, decided to appeal to a higher authority. " Oh, God! " he cried. " I know in my heart that I am right and they are wrong! Please give me a sign to prove it to them! " It was a beautiful, sunny day. As soon as the rabbi finished his prayer, a storm cloud moved across the sky above the four. It rumbled once and dissolved. " A sign from God! See, I'm right, I knew it! " But the other three disagreed, pointing out that storm clouds form on hot days. So the rabbi prayed again: " Oh, God, I need a bigger sign to show that I am right and they are wrong. So please, God, a bigger sign! " This time four storm clouds appeared, rushed toward each other to form one big cloud, and a bolt of lightning slammed into a tree on a nearby hill. " I told you I was right! " cried the rabbi, but his friends insisted that nothing had happened that could not be explained by natural causes. The rabbi was getting ready to ask for a *very big* sign, but just as he said, " Oh God..., " the sky turned pitch black, the earth shook, and a deep, booming voice intoned, " HEEEEEEEE'S RIIIIIIIGHT! " The rabbi put his hands on his hips, turned to the other three, and said, " Well? " " So, " shrugged one of the other rabbis, " now it's 3 to 2. " ============ Questions.. An applicant was filling out a job application. When he came to the question, 'Have you ever been arrested?', he wrote, " No. " The next question, intended for people who had answered 'yes' to the previous question, was, 'Why?' The applicant answered it anyway: " Never got caught. " : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
