There was a fire at the convent.  One retired nun on the fourth floor was
trapped by the flames!  The resourceful Sister quickly took some robes from
her closet, tied them into a rope, and descended to safety.

An amazed reporter later asked her, “Weren’t you afraid your makeshift rope
might fall apart?”

“Oh, no,” she said. “Old habits are hard to break.”

A thief broke into my house last night … he started searching for money so
I got up and searched with him.

A female crab was walking down the beach one evening when she noticed a male crab coming toward her, but he was walking straight and not sideways.

Impressed by his talent, she decided to marry him immediately. The next morning she noticed him walking sideways like any ordinary crab. She asked, “What happened? Yesterday you were able to walk straight!”

He answered, “What?! I can’t get that drunk every day!”

When people say, “It’s always in the last place you look.” Of course it is. Why would you keep looking after you’ve found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they?

Dewey goes to the local revival and listens to the preacher. After a while the preacher asks anyone with needs to be prayed over to come forward to the front at the altar.

Dewey gets in line, and when it’s his turn the preacher asks, “Dewey, what do you want me to pray about for you?” 

Dewey replies: “Preacher, I need you to pray for my hearing.”

The preacher puts one finger in Dewey’s ear, and he places the other hand on top of Dewey’s head and prays and prays.

After a few minutes, the preacher removes his hands, stands back and asks: “Dewey, how is your hearing now?”

Dewey says, “I don’t know, Parson, it ain’t until next Wednesday.”

Some days I amaze myself. Other days I put my keys in the fridge.

A couple with three children waited in line at San Francisco’s Pier 41 to purchase tickets for a boat trip to Alcatraz.

Others watched with varying degrees of sympathy and irritation as the young children fidgeted, whined, and punched one another. The frazzled parents reprimanded them to no avail.

Finally they reached the ticket window.

“Five tickets, please,” the father said. “Two round trip, three one way.”

A little girl, dressed in her Sunday best, was running to church as fast as
she could, trying not to be late for Bible class.

As she ran she prayed, “Dear Lord, please don’t let me be late! Dear Lord,
please don’t let me be late!”

While she was running and praying, she tripped on a curb and fell, getting
her clothes dirty and tearing her dress. She got up, brushed herself off,
and started running again.

As she ran she once again began to pray, “Dear Lord, please don’t let me be
late! But please don’t shove me either!”

Q: Where do rainbows go when they’re bad?
A: Prism, but it’s a light sentence.

A lady came to the hospital to visit a friend. She had not been in a hospital for several years and felt uneasy, not knowing about all the new technology.

A technician followed her onto the elevator, wheeling a large, intimidating looking machine with tubes and wires and dials.

“Boy, would I hate to be hooked up to that thing,” she said.

“So would I,” replied the technician. “It’s a floor-cleaning machine.”

My doctor emailed me asking if I knew my “blod group.”
I replied, “typo.”

While waiting for my first appointment in the reception room of a new dentist, I noticed his certificate, which bore his full name.

Suddenly, I remembered that a tall, handsome boy with the same name had been in my high school class almost 50 years ago. 

Upon seeing him, however, I quickly discarded any such thought. This balding, gray-haired man with the deeply lined face was too old to have been my classmate.

After he had examined my teeth, I asked him if he had attended the local high school.

“Yes,” he replied.

“When did you graduate?” I asked.

He answered, “In 1953.”

“Why, you were in my class!” I exclaimed.

He looked at me closely and then asked, “What did you teach?”
