Fellowship
of Light - Humor?
It is with extreme caution
and concern that we have included this section as a part of the Fellowship
of Light website. Based upon class history, there is no guarantee that any
of the following jokes are really all that funny, some of which no one will
even understand.
If you have a humorous
anicdote, joke, or riddle, please feel free to share it with us. All we ask
is that they be in good taste and in the spirit of fun. Be aware, you will
be given credit...if you can call it that.
Give
me a sense of humor, Lord, Give me the grace to see a joke, To
get some humor out of life, And pass it on to other folk...
Life in "Trailer Estates"

Estates, a Florida mobile home park.A man walked over and sits
down on the other end of the bench.After a few moments, the woman asks, "Are you a stranger
here?"
He replies, "I lived here years ago."
"So, where were you all these years?"
"In prison," he says.
"Why did they put you in prison?"
He looked at her, and very quietly said, "I killed my wife."
"Oh!" said the woman, "So you're single..."
NEW BREAD KNIFE
An inventor came up with a knife that would slice two loaves
of bread at the same time. He sold it to a large bakery. He then developed
a knife that would slice three loaves of bread at the same time. He sold
that idea, too. Finally, the ultimate. He made a huge knife that could cut
four loaves of bread at the same time. And so was born the world's first
four-loaf cleaver.

LIL' BITZ OF
WIZDUM
~ It's taken me all my life to understand that it is not necessary to understand
everything.
~ It's good to keep your feet on the ground, but you aren't going to get anywhere
unless you lift
them up occasionally.
~ I'm such a nobody, even the Wal*Mart greeters ignore me.
~ You think you could never love anybody as much as your children, and then a
grandchild
comes along. -Maureen Shea
AN EIGHT YEAR OLD INQUIRES
An 8-year-old girl went to her dad, who was working in the yard. She asked
him, "Daddy,
what is sex?" The father was surprised that she would ask such a question,
but decided that if she was old enough to ask the question, then she was old
enough to get a straight answer. He proceeded to tell her all about the 'birds
and the bees'. When he finished explaining, the little girl was looking at him
with her mouth hanging open. The father asked her, "Why did you ask this
question?"
She replied, "Mom told me to tell you that dinner would be ready in just
a couple of secs."
SOME DINING QUERIES
Customer: "Your sign says, "$50 to anyone who orders something we can't
furnish." I would like to have an elephant ear sandwich."
Waiter: "Ohhh...we're going to have to pay you the $50."
Customer: "No elephant ears, huh?"
Waiter: "Oh, we've got lots of them...but we're all out of those big buns!"
Customer: "What flavors
of ice cream do you have?"
Waiter (in a hoarse voice): "Vanilla, strawberry and chocolate."
Customer: "Do you have laryngitis?"
Waiter: "No, just vanilla, strawberry and chocolate."
Waiter: "Would you
like your coffee black?"
Customer: "What other colors do you have?"
After a particularly inspiring
worship service, Ole greeted the pastor. "Reverend,
dat vas a vonderful sermon. You should have it published."
The pastor replied, "Well thank you Ole, actually, I'm planning to have
all my sermons published posthumously."
"
Great!" enthused Ole. "Ya, da sooner da better!"
Lena is heading for bed
and hollers back, "Did you put da cat out, Ole?"

A man tried to sell his
neighbor a new dog. "This is a talking dog," he
said. "And you can have him for five dollars."
The neighbor said, "Who do you think you're kidding with this talking dog
stuff? There ain't no such animal."
Suddenly the dog looked up with tears in his eyes. "Please buy me, sir," he
pleaded. "This man is cruel. He never buys me a meal, never bathes me, never
takes me for a walk. And I used to be the richest trick dog in America. I performed
before kings. I was in the Army and decorated ten times."
"
Hey!" said the neighbor. "He can talk. Why do you want to sell him
for just five dollars?"
"
Because," said the seller, "I'm getting tired of all his lies."
The man bought the dog.
Later on a friend dropped in to pay him an unexpected visit and was amazed
to find him playing chess with the dog. The friend watched
in silence for a few minutes, then burst out with, "That's the most incredible
dog I ever saw in my life!"
"
Oh, he isn't so smart," was the answer, "I've beaten him three games
out of four."
OLE,... THAT SILVER TONGUED DEVIL
Ole and Lena are getting ready for bed. Lena is standing before a full-length
mirror taking a hard look at herself. "You know vhat Ole, I look in dis
mirror, and I see an old voman. My face is all wrinkled, my hair is grey, my
shoulders are hunched over, I've got fat legs, and my arms are all flabby." She
turns to Ole, and says, "Tell me something positive to make me feel better
about myself."
He studies hard for a moment thinking about it and then says in a soft, thoughtful
voice, "Vell, Sveety, dare's notting wrong vit your eyesight."
Ole and Lena have taken
Lena's mother along with them on a camping trip. The first night out, Ole is
awakened by Lena screaming at him, "Ole, a big bear
yust vent into mama's tent."
Ole rolled
over in his sleeping bag and said, "Vell, he got himself into
dat mess; let him get himself out of it!
Ole to Lars, "Lena
spent four hours in da beauty shop de udder day."
Lars
replies, "Boy, dat's a long time, Ole."
"Ya,
and dat vas yust for da estimate!"
Lena went to the beauty
shop, came home and said to Ole, "I
yust got back from da beauty shop, Dear."
Ole looks her over and says, "Vhat's da matter? Vas it
closed?"
The doctor answered the phone and heard the familiar voice
of a colleague on the other end of the line. "We need a fourth for poker," said
the friend.
"I'll be right over," whispered the doctor. As he was putting on
his coat, his wife asked, "Is it serious?"
"Oh yes, quite serious," said the doctor gravely. "In
fact, there are three doctors there already!"
After
a long dry sermon, the minister announced that he wished to meet with
the church board following the close of the service. The first
man to arrive
was a stranger. "You misunderstood my announcement. This is a meeting
of the Board," said the minister.
"
I know," said the man,"but if there is anyone here more bored than
I am, I'd like to meet him."

time, but also to leave
unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.
* The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement.
* He who hesitates is probably right.
* Did you ever notice: The Roman Numerals for forty (40) are " XL."
