Guest guest Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 I have an earache: 2000 B.C. -Here, eat this root. 1000 A.D. -That root is heathen. Here, say this prayer. 1850 A.D. -That prayer is superstition. Here, drink this potion. 1940 A.D. -That potion is snake oil. Here, swallow this pill. 1985 A.D. -That pill is ineffective. Here, take this antibiotic. 2000 A.D. -That antibiotic is artificial. Here, eat this root. -------------------------------- Talking to God Little Johnny was laying about on a hillock in the middle of a meadow on a warm spring day. Puffy white clouds rolled by and he pondered their shape. Soon, he began to think about God. "God? Are you really there?" Johnny said out loud. To his astonishment a voice came from the clouds. "Yes, Johnny? What can I do for you?" Seizing the opportunity, Johnny asked, "God? What is a million years like to you?" Knowing that Johnny could not understand the concept of infinity, God responded in a manner to which Johnny could relate, "A million years to me, Johnny, is like a minute." "Oh," said Johnny. "Well, then, what's a million dollars like to you?" "A million dollars to me, Johnny, is like a penny." "Wow!" remarked Johnny, getting an idea. "You're so generous...can I have one of your pennies?" God replied, "Sure thing, Johnny! Just a minute." ------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2003 Report Share Posted December 8, 2003 A holy man went up to the hot dog vendor and asked: "Please make me one...with everything." The dog was prepared and handed over, and the Sadhu gave the vendor a $10 bill. All was silence for a moment..then the Sadhu says "please give me my change" and the vendor says "Change is found within".

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2003 Report Share Posted December 8, 2003 It seems a pastor from California skipped services one Sunday to go mountain lion hunting in the mountains. As he turned the corner along the path, he and a lion collided. The pastor stumbled backwards, slipped off the trail, and began tumbling down the mountain -- with the lion in hot pursuit. Finally the pastor crashed into a boulder, sending his rifle flying in one direction and breaking both his legs. As the lion closed in, the pastor cried out in desperation, "Lord, I'm sorry for what I have done. Please forgive me and save me! Lord, please make that lion a Christian." Suddenly the lion skidded to a halt at the pastor's feet, clasped its paws together and said, "God, bless this food which I am about to eat." ---- A local priest and pastor stood by the side of the road holding up a sign that said, "The End is Near! Turn yourself around now before it's too late!" They planned to hold up the sign to each passing car. "Leave us alone you religious nuts!" yelled the first driver as he sped by. >From around the curve they heard a big splash. "Do you think," said one clergy to the other, "we should just put up a sign that says 'bridge out' instead?" --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 8, 2003 Report Share Posted December 8, 2003 Change? I thought that was something that came out of Navarna Mantra. I never thought to look for it within a hot dog. Maybe I need to do more Japa. That way I might not need to be so lazy. That way I might not need to eat quite so many hot dogs. I've also heard that yellow mustard is no better for sadhus than either onions or garlic. On the otherhand black mustard seed might be good for sadhus. The faith of mustards seeds is found within the pages of the bible. Poppy seed might be favorable too. Thanks for helping me save the ten dollars. , shubal108@a... wrote: > A holy man went up to the hot dog vendor and asked: "Please make me > one...with everything."
