Time To Chuckle
By: Jerry Barnhart


June 15th was Father’s Day, so
With three boys I’ve learned from experience… A man NEVER wakes up his baby just to see him smile.

A fisherman gives his pastor…
several huge fillets.
A little sheepishly, the fisherman said, “I must tell you, these fish were caught on Sunday, Pastor. The pastor paused, then gratefully accepted the gifts, saying “Well, we can’t blame the fish for that, can we?”

Considering the dandelions in my neighbors yard…
When the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence, it just may be they take better care of it.

Time for a Tom Tom
A city man was driving in the backwoods when he took a wrong turn and got lost. he drove down a bumpy gravel road hoping to find a farmer who could help him. He came to a fork in the road but couldn’t decide which way to turn. Then he saw a house and drove up the lane. A man was rocking on the porch.
“Hey, there!” he shouted. “Can you tell me where that left fork goes?”
“Don’t know,” the man replied.
“Well, can you tell me where the road on the right goes?”
Again, the man said he did not know.
Hearing this, the motorist became angry.
“You’re not very bright, are you?” yelled the motorist.
“Maybe not,” the man replied calmly as he continued to rock, “but I ain’t lost.” (Rochester Insti-Prints).

What’s good for the Parish
The 6-year-old daughter of a clergyman was sick and put to bed. As her mother left the bedroom, the little girl asked to see her father.
“No, dear,” her mother replied.
“Your daddy is busy in his study and not to be disturbed.”
The little girl persisted and the mother repeated that her father was too busy.
The little girl sat up and declared, “Mommy, I am a sick person and I want to see my minister.”

Back to summer and the tourist… who was introduced to a Native American in New Mexico who was said to have a perfect memory. Skeptical, the tourist asked him, “What did you have for breakfast?”
The Indian replied, “eggs.”
The tourist scoffed, “everyone could eat eggs for breakfast… he’s a phony.”
Thirteen years later, the tourist drove through the small town and there was the same Indian and said jovially, “How!”
The Native American answered, “scrambled.”
