I heard this one today and just couldn't resist passing it on here!

After a big rainstorm filled all the potholes in the streets and alleys, a young mother watched her two little boys playing in a large puddle through her kitchen window.

The older of the two, a five year old boy, grabbed his little brother by the back of his head and shoved his face into the water hole.

As the little boy recovered and stood laughing and dripping, the mother runs to the yard in a panic. "Why on earth did you do that to your little brother?!" she says to the older boy in anger.

"We were just playing 'church' mommy," he said. "I was baptizing him in the name of the Father, and the Son and in the hole-he-goes.

A new pastor was visiting in the homes of his parishioners. At one house it seemed obvious that someone was home, but no answer came to his repeated knocks at the door. Therefore, he took out a business card & wrote "Revelation 3:20" on the back of it & stuck it in the door. When the offering was processed the following Sunday, he found that his card had been returned. Added to it was this cryptic message, "Genesis 3:10". Reaching for his Bible to check out the citation, he broke up in gales of laughter. Revelation 3:20 begins, "Behold, I stand at the door & knock." Genesis 3:10 reads, "I heard your voice in the garden & I was afraid for I was naked."


I cracked up long and loud on these!! Sounds like something my boys would do on the first one. The second was so unexpected. laugh.gif

Thanks for all the laughs!

Kristen those were hysterical! This board started my day with a smile and ended it with a laugh. Our family has not had much to laugh about lately so I will be sharing these with all of them. Thanks for that and thanks to Fr. Mark for starting this thread!

Joanne,

I hear you!! Anything for food that is trhe Anglican way. Here is an example!!

[i]A kindergarten teacher gave her class a "show and tell" assignment of bringing something to represent their religion.

The first boy got in front of the class and said, "My name is Benjamin and I am Jewish and this is the Star of David."

The second boy got in front of the class and said, "My name is Mary. I am Roman Catholic and this is the Crucifix."

The third boy
got in front of the class and said, " My name is Tommy and I am an Anglican and this is a casserole." [/i]

Right On...And I bet it was a Green Bean one at that...That is Phunny....I remember one time the Bishop was to visit our Church and something happended that the schedule had to be changed....but guess what...we had the Pot Luck after the service anyway...just cause the Bishop couldn't be there no need to waste a chance at a good meal...(he wasn't bringing a dish anyway... laugh.gif )
