Jesus and Moses are sitting in an outdoor cafe having lunch. The cafe is picturesquely located next to a lake. Moses says: "Hey Jesus, you ever wonder if you still, you know, got it?" "Got it?" says Jesus. "Yeah, you know... the power to do miracles and such," replies Moses. "It's been such a long time. Sometimes I wonder if I still got it in me." Jesus points to Moses' bowl of soup and says: "Give it a try." With an intrigued expression on his face, Moses holds his hands over the soup, and slowly spreads them apart. Slowly, the soup parts down the middle, until there are distinct lobes of soup to the right and left of the bowl, and the bottom of the bowl is clearly visable in the center. With a bemused smile on his face, Moses allows the soup to rejoin. "Hunh. Guess I still got it!" He then looks sideways, toward the lake, and says "Hey, Jesus... why don't you go for a little walk?" "Worth a shot!" says Jesus, as he walks around the cafe's railing, to the lakeshore. He sets one foot on the surface of the water, then, carefully, the other. Carefully, he takes a few tentative steps away from the shore, his feet never sinking below the surface. Looking surprised, and somewhat satisfied, he turns to give Moses the thumbs up. And sinks into the lake like a stone. "Damn" he sputters, as he drags himself back to the shore, and into the cafe's patio "I guess it just ain't in me anymore." "Dude, I wouldn't worry," says Moses. "Remember, the last time you tried that, you didn't have holes in your feet!"

Adam is down at his local with a beer in hand and looking down in the mouth. God stops by, orders a cold beer and says, "What's the matter Adam? Why so down?" Adam says, "Well I don't mean to be ungrateful but I'm a bit lonely. You know the horse you made me to ride is great. I speed through the countryside and the dog that runs beside us is great ... But I feel like I need someone a bit more like me." "I'll tell you what," says God, "As soon as I've got the Moon properly balanced out there so the tides work as they should I'll make you a companion." "Really!" asks Adam, "What will you make me?" "How about we call her Woman," says God. "She'll be the most intelligent companion that you could get. Her disposition will be fantastic. She will be caring and gentle. Logic and reason will be part of her make-up. She will be satisfied in herself so that you always feel comfortable around her and she with you ... Oh, I'm on a roll here ... I'm getting some really good ideas ..." "Sounds GREAT!" says Adam, "Can you give me a quote? What do you reckon Woman will set me back?" "Wellllll," says God, "Reason and logic centres are pretty expensive ... Self confidence tweeks take time ... labor intensive you see ... I'll probably need your left leg, right arm and your nose ..." "Ohhhhh toooo much," moans Adam, "Tell you what, what can you throw together for a rib?"

Two hunters got a pilot to fly them to Canada to hunt moose. They bagged six. As they started loading the plane for the return trip, the pilot said the plane could take only four moose. The two lads objected strongly. "Last year we shot six and the pilot let us put them all on board; he had the same plane as yours." Reluctantly, the pilot gave in and all six were loaded. However,even on full power,the little plane couldn't handle the load and went down a few moments after take-off. Climbing out of the wreck one hunter asked the other, "Any idea where we are?" "Yaaah I think we's pretty close to where we crashed last year."

One Monday morning a mailman is walking the neighborhood on his usual route. As he approaches one of the homes he noticed that both cars were in the driveway. His wonder was cut short by Bob, the homeowner, coming out with a load of empty beer and liquor bottles. "Wow Bob, looks like you guys had one a big party last night," the mailman comments. Bob in obvious pain replies, "Actually we had it Saturday night. This is the first I have felt like moving since 4:00 am Sunday morning, when it ended. We had about fifteen couples from around the neighborhood over for Christmas Cheer and it got a bit wild. We got so drunk around midnight that we started playing WHO AM I." The mailman thinks a moment and says, "How do you play that?" Well, all the guys go in the bedroom and we come out one at a time with a sheet covering us and only our "privates" showing through a hole in the sheet. Then the women try to guess who it is." The mailman laughs and says, "Damn, I'm sorry I missed that." "Probably a good thing you did," Bob responds. "Your name came up four or five times."
A burglar has just made it into the house he's intending ransacking, and he's looking around for stuff to steal. All of a sudden, a little voice pipes up, "I can see you, and so can Jesus!"
Startled, the burglar looks around the room. No one there at all, so he goes back to his business.
"I can see you, and so can Jesus!"
The burglar jumps again, and takes a longer look around the room. Over in the corner by the window, almost obscured by curtains, is a cage in which sits a parrot, who pipes up again, "I can see you, and so can Jesus!"
"So what," says the burglar, "you're only a parrot!"
To which the parrot replies, "Maybe, but Jesus is a rottweiler!"
Q: Where does a blackbird go for a drink?
A: To a crow bar.
One day at the entrance to heaven, St. Peter saw a New York street gang walk up to the Pearly Gates. This being a first, St. Peter ran to God and said, "God, there are some evil, New Yorkers at the Pearly Gates. What do I do?". God replied, "Just do what you normally do. Re-direct them down to hell." St. Peter went back to carry out the order and all of a sudden he comes running back yelling "God, God, they're gone, they're gone!"

While there his mother n law gets sick and dies.
The man takes the body to the local funeral home and asked the director to prepare prices one for burial here and the other the other to be shipped back to the states. The director replies that is easy $150.00 for burial here and $5000.00 for her to be shipped back.

The director looking surprised says why would you want to ship your mother n law back when she can be buried here so much cheaper.

A husband and wife are getting ready for bed. The wife is standing in front of a full-length mirror taking a hard look at herself.
"You know, dear," she says, "I look in the mirror, and I see an old woman. My face is all wrinkled, my bosom is barely above my waist, and my bottom is hanging out a mile. I've got fat legs, and my arms are all flabby." She turns to her husband 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, "Well, there's nothing wrong with your eyesight."
Services for the husband will be held Saturday morning at 10:30.
GRAVESIDE SERVICE A young preacher was asked by a funeral director to hold a graveside service for a man who died with no family or friends. The funeral was held way back in the country and the young preacher got lost on the way. When he arrived an hour late, he saw a backhoe and crew, but the hearse was nowhere in sight. The work-men were eating lunch. The diligent pastor went to the open grave to find the vault lid in place, but still he poured out his heart and preached an impassioned and lengthy service. Returning to his car, the young preacher felt that he had done his duty and he would leave with a renewed sense of purpose and dedication, in spite of his tardiness. As he got into his car, he overheard one of the workers talking in a very serious voice to another worker: "You know, I been puttin' in septic tanks for 20 years, and I ain't never seen nothin' like that before... Sorta gives a whole new meanin' to the term "Holy S$%^...

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are going camping. They pitch their tent under the stars and go to sleep. Sometime in the middle of the night, Holmes wakes Watson up: "Watson, look up at the stars, and tell me what you deduce."
Watson says, "I see millions of stars and even if a few of those have planets, it's quite likely there are some planets like Earth, and if there are a few planets like Earth out there, there might also be life."
Holmes replied: "Watson, you idiot, somebody stole our tent."

A couple of hunters are out in the woods when one of them falls to the ground. He doesn't seem to be breathing. His eyes are rolled back in his head.
The other guy whips out his mobile phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps to the operator: "My friend is dead! What can I do?" The operator, in a calm soothing voice, says: "Just take it easy. First, let's make sure he's dead."
There's silence, then a shot is heard.
The guy's voice comes back on the line. He says, "Okay, now what?"
Little Mary was not the best student in Sunday School. Usually she slept through the class. One day the teacher called on her while she was napping, ''Tell me, Mary, who created the universe?'' When Mary didn't stir, little Johnny, an altruistic boy seated in the chair behind her, took a pin and jabbed her in the rear. ''God Almighty !'' shouted Mary and the teacher said, ''Very good'' and Mary fell back to sleep.
A while later the teacher asked Mary, ''Who is our Lord and Savior?'' But Mary didn't even stir from her slumber. Once again, Johnny came to the rescue and stuck her again. ''Jesus Christ!'' shouted Mary and the teacher said, ''Very good,'' and Mary fell back to sleep. Then the teacher asked Mary a third question, ''What did Eve say to Adam after she had her twenty-third child?'' And again, Johnny jabbed her with the pin. This time Mary jumped up and shouted, ''If you stick that damn thing in me one more time, I'll break it in half!'' The Teacher fainted
