Guest guest Posted August 25, 2001 Report Share Posted August 25, 2001 As usual we send weekend humour to the list dedicated to spirituality...........not fantastic stuff but perhaps tolerable..... : ) ..jay ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A boy is about to go on his first date, and is nervous about what to talk about. He asks his father for advice. The father replies: " My son, there are three subjects that always work. These are food, family, and philosophy. " The boy picks up his date and they go to a soda fountain. Ice cream sodas in front of them, they stare at each other for a long time, as the boy's nervousness builds. He remembers his father's advice, and chooses the first topic. He asks the girl: " Do you like spinach? " She says " No, " and the silence returns. After a few more uncomfortable minutes, the boy thinks of his father's suggestion and turns to the second item on the list. He asks, " Do you have a brother? " Again, the girl says " No " and there is silence once again. The boy then plays his last card. He thinks of his father's advice and asks the girl the following question: " If you had a brother, would he like spinach? " ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This devout Christian couple felt it important to own an equally devout Christian pet, so, they went shopping. At a kennel specialising in this particular breed, they found a dog they liked quite a lot. When they asked the dog to fetch the Bible, he did it in a flash. When they instructed him to look up Psalm 23, he complied equally fast, using his paws with dexterity. They were impressed, purchased the animal, and went home. That night they had friends over. They were so proud of their new fundamentalist dog and his major skills, they called the dog and showed off a little. The friends were impressed, and asked whether the dog was able to do any of the usual dog tricks, as well. This stopped the couple cold, as they hadn't thought about " normal " tricks. Well, they said, " Let's try this out. " Once more they called the dog, and they clearly pronounced the command, " Heel! " Quick as a wink, the dog jumped up, put his paw on the man's forehead, closed his eyes in concentration, and bowed his head! : ) (Heel .... Heal....in case you miss the pun) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
