Three preachers sat discussing the best positions for prayer while a telephone repairman worked nearby.
"Kneeling is definitely best," claimed one. "No," another contended. "I get the best results standing with
my hands outstretched to Heaven." "You're both wrong," the third insisted. "The most effective prayer position
is lying prostrate, face down on the floor." The repairman could contain himself no longer.
"Hey, fellas," he interrupted, "the best prayin' I ever did was hangin' upside down from a telephone pole." |
Keeping the Ten Commandments |
Bernie and Esther were not the most religious people and in fact they really only went to Church once a year.
As they were leaving church, the Priesti said, "Bernie, it sure would be nice to see you and Esther here more
than once a year!" "I know," replied Bernie, "but at least we keep the Ten Commandments." "That's great,"
the Priest said. "I'm glad to hear that you keep the Commandments." "Yep," Bernie said proudly,
"Esther keeps six of them and I keep the other four." |
