Silly Joke Friday

Silly Joke #1

A guy walks into a bar and says to the bartender, “A glass of your finest Less, please.” “Less? Never heard of it my friend…”, the bartender responds. “C’mon, I’m sure you have!”, the guy insists. “No, really, I don’t think we stock it. What is it? Some kind of foreign beer?”, the bartender says baffled. “I’m not sure. But, my doctor told me today that I really needed to start drinking Less and I told him I would get right on that!!!”

Silly Joke #2

An out-of-work actor gets a call from his agent one day. “I’ve got you a job,” says his agent. “That’s great,” says the actor, what is it?” “Well,” says his agent, “it’s a one-liner in a play.” “That’s okay,” replies the actor, “I’ve been out of work for so long I’ll take anything. What’s the line?” “Hark, I hear the cannons roar” says the agent. “I love it” says the actor. “When’s the audition?” “Wednesday” says the agent. Wednesday comes and the actor arrives at the audition, which isn’t too far from his house. He marches on stage and shouts bravely: “Hark, I hear the cannons roar!”. “Brilliant!”, says the director, “you’ve got the job. Be here 9 o’clock Saturday evening.” The actor is so happy he finally got an acting gig that he goes on a major bender for a few days that he ends around 8:00pm Saturday night. He runs to the theatre still somewhat under the influence, continually repeating his line, “Hark, I hear the cannons roar, Hark, I hear the cannons roar, Hark, I hear the cannons roar.” When he arrives at the stage entrance, out of breath, he is stopped by the guard. “Who the hell are you?” asks the guard. “I’m “Hark, I hear the cannons roar!” “Well, if you are “Hark I hear the cannons roar”, you’re freaking late. Get to makeup right now!” So he runs to makeup. “Who the hell are you” asks the makeup girl. “I’m “Hark I hear the cannons roar!”” “Well, if you’re hark I hear the cannons roar”, you’re freaking late. Sit down!” She quickly applies the makeup. “Now hurry, get down to the stage, you’re about to go on.” He dashes down to the stage where’s he met by the stage manager. “Who the hell are you?” asks the stage manager. “I’m “Hark, I hear the cannons roar!”” “Well, if you’re “Hark, I hear the cannons roar, you were almost replaced! Be ready! You’re about to go on!” A few minutes later the stage manager says it’s his time to go out there. So he tears onto the stage, sees the house is full, when suddenly a huge cannon goes off behind him, startling him totally out of his bender, where he shouts, “WHAT THE F$$K WAS THAT?”

Silly Joke #3

There was a farmer who grew some pretty amazing watermelons. He was doing pretty well in the watermelon business because of it, but he was disturbed by some local kids who kept sneaking into his watermelon patch at night and eat some of them. After some careful thought, he came up with a clever idea that he thought would scare them away for sure. So, he made up a sign and posted it in the field. The next night, the kids showed up and they saw the sign which read, “Warning! One of these watermelons in this field has been injected with cyanide.” The kids left without disturbing any and came back the next night with a sign of their own. When the farmer came out the next morning, he surveyed the field and noticed that while no watermelons were missing, a sign had been placed next to his that read, “Now there are two!”

Bonus Silly Joke

A man walked into a bar on a slow night and sat down. After a few minutes, the bartender asked him if he wanted a drink. He replied, “No thanks. I don’t drink. I tried it once, but I didn’t like it.” So the bartender said, “Well, would you like a cigarette?” But the man said, “No thanks. I don’t smoke. I tried it once, but I didn’t like it.” The bartender asked him if he’d like to play a game of pool, and again the man said, “No thanks. I don’t like pool. I tried it once, but I didn’t like it. As a matter of fact, I wouldn’t be here at all, but it’s where my only son asked to meet me.” The bartender said, “Well, I guess that means you tried sex once too, but didn’t like it either?

If God were to send you a sign of God’s presence in your life via a living, but non-human form, what form (be very specific) would you choose to have it come in?  (Ex. Golden Retriever, Sphinx Cat, Robin, Praying Mantis, etc.)

God’s Mysterious Ways

Thank you for joining in to another entry of my series, God’s Mysterious Ways, where I write about things that may be more than just coincidences, where God may very well indeed have a hand behind it, which for today is for a friendly robin, who’s presence recently, during one of my weekly chores, may have also been a messenger hand-delivered by the Big Guy himself.

Just over a week ago, I was midway through my weekly mowing of both my yard and my neighbor’s when I noticed a robin was flittering around a few feet from where I was pushing the lawnmower. I didn’t pay much attention to it because honestly, I was deep in my head, feeling overly sorry for myself, like I have been more that not lately, mostly surrounding this pit of emptiness I continue to feel within. If there’s ever been a thorn in my side that’s been plaguing me, it’s this emptiness, an emptiness that stems from feeling like joy is a million miles away no matter how hard I try to find or create it.

Regardless, as that emptiness spilled over into me cutting my neighbor’s yard, I didn’t even notice that this robin had followed me over there. That was until I began to mow one line after another there, when this robin seemed like it was making a far concerted effort to get my attention. I’d push the mower in one direction where it stood almost in my path, when it was abruptly bound out of the way at the last minute and stand still a mere few feet from me. Frankly, it surprised me, as I’ve never seen any bird enjoy all that noise that emits from any lawnmower. After I mowed a few more lines, I decided to give the robin a friendly wave, after which I totally silly, telling myself I was imagining things. Even so, it remained with me for the duration of me mowing the neighbor’s front yard, at which no point was I even thinking that this was some messenger of God or one of God’s mysterious ways to communicate with me. I simply thought it was one brave robin.

Regardless, I then headed into my neighbor’s backyard, which was what I had left to finish out my weekly mowing task, when I suddenly had a random thought. What if this robin really was somehow a messenger from Source? I know that sounds funny, but at that moment, I was really desperate for a message of hope. As I began to mow that backyard, I had already cut a few strips when I said in my head, “Ok, God, if that robin really was from You, then have it come back into this backyard as I mow, and I’ll know it’s You.”  And wouldn’t you know, as I turned the mower around and headed back towards the house, there it was, staring at me while it fluttered about.

That robin would remain with me a few minutes longer, but when I finally acknowledged that maybe indeed God really did send this robin to me that day to remind me that He really is there, wouldn’t you know, it then flew away, leaving me with yet another interesting story to share with all of you, one that may just be another case of God’s Mysterious Ways…
