What, no one with the user name Lightbulbs_R_God gets banned for his personal attacks on the unbelievers who equate lightbulbs with meer devices!

A man walks into a bar and orders a drink, then notices a 12 inch guy playing a piano. Turning to the bar tender, he asks, “Where in the world did you find a 12 inch guy that plays a piano?” The bartender replies, “I found a lamp with a magic genie that gave me one wish.” Reaching under the bar, he then pulls out a lamp and hands it to the customer, saying, “Here, give it a try if you like.” The man thinks for a while, rubs the lamp, and poof! There’s a genie. The genie says, “Master, I can grant you one wish.’ The man thinks for a while, then says, “I’d like a million bucks!” Suddenly the bar is filled with a million ducks flopping and squawking all over the bar. Turning to the bar tender, the man demands, “What in the heck happened? I said I wanted a million bucks!!!!!” The bar tender replies, “Oh, I forgot to tell you. The genie’s a bit hard of hearing, do you really think I would have wished for a 12 inch pianist?”

An old man was taking his evening stroll around the pond behind his retirement home when all of a sudden a large frog hops up and squats down right in front of him. Curious the old fellow reaches down and picks up the frog which blurts out in plain clear English "Kiss me". Dumbstruck the old man can't utter a word and the frog repeats "Kiss me". FInally the old man regains some composure and stammers "Y-y-ou can t-talk!!"
"Yes", replies the frog, " I am actually a beautiful princess who was turned into a frog by a wicked enchantment long ago. If you kiss me I will return to my original form and shower you with love and riches." "Well isn't that something?" says the old man and he puts the frog in his coat pocket and resumes his walk. A few minutes later the frog says "Well, aren't you going to kiss me and turn me back into a princess?" "Nope", the old man says, "At my age I'd just as soon have a talking frog"

CHICKEN ARMONDI

1 large chicken
2 eggs
1 cup breadcrumbs
Salt and pepper
1 cup drained crushed pineapple
500 grams uncooked popcorn
1 cup diced onions
1 dessertspoon mixed herbs

Follow directions carefully. Mix all dry ingredients, add eggs and pineapple, and stuff into the chicken. Skewer up the cavity. Bake at 180 degrees C, basting regularly. Chicken will be found to be cooked when the popcorn blows the [rear] out of the chicken and the door off the oven.

Two friends, an astronomer and an astrophysicts, during their return flight from Europe, were startled to hear the captain announce an engine had failed. A 1 hour delay would result in their landing time in New York. A short time later, they noticed another engine on fire. The captain announced all was well as the other two engines would carry them safely, but with a 2 hour delay. As Murphy would have it, the third failed and grave concerns ensued. The captain asked all to stay calm as the remaining engine was fine and adequate, however, the delay would now be 4/1/2 hrs. The astronomer expressed deep concern as he feared the failure of the last engine. His astrophysicst friend stated...."I agree, otherwise we'll be up her all night!". Upon hearing this, the astronomer obtained the window seat.

Man walks into a bar with a giraffe and orders two beers. The man drinks his and pours the other into a bowl for the giraffe, who laps it up. After this is repeated a few times, the giraffe starts swaying alarmingly and eventually collapses, unconscious, onto the bar-room floor.

At this, the man picks ups his jacket and says, 'Well, better be off home' and starts to walk out the door.

The bartender points to the slumbering giraffe on the floor and yells, "Hey buddy, you can't leave that lyin' there!" to which the man replies.....





"That's not a lion. It's a giraffe!"

A farmer's chickens keep getting sick and he has no idea why. He calls a biologist, a chemist, and a physicist to help out. The biologist examines the chickens throughly and declares, "I don't know what is wrong with your chickens." The chemist then preforms some tests and takes some measurements of the chickens and says, "I don't know why your chickens are sick." The physicist then looks at the chickens. He stares at them for a long time before writing things down on his notepad. He then proceeds to preform several long and very difficult calculations before saying to the farmer, "I know why your chickens are getting sick. I've found the solution, but it only works for spherical chickens in a vacuum."

An astronomer, a physicist, and a mathmetician are riding on a train in Ireland. They pass by a farm that has a lone white cow. The astronomer says "How about that, all cows in Ireland are all white." The physicist corrects him and says that some cows in Ireland are all white. The mathmetician corrects both of them by saying that in Ireland, there exists at least one cow that is at least half white.

The current manager of the NY Yankees, Joe Torre, used to play for the Yankees. For a while, he played catcher (this is all true).

However, he hated the nickname "Chicken". Because then he would be Chicken Catcher Torre.

A Letter from Grandma

Got a letter from Grandma the other day. She writes:

The other day I went up to a local Christian bookstore and saw a "Honk if you love Jesus" bumper sticker. I was feeling particularly sassy that day because I had just come from a thrilling choir performance, followed by a thunderous prayer meeting, so I bought the sticker and put it on my bumper.

Boy, I'm glad I did! What an uplifting experience that followed!

I was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection, just lost in thought about the Lord and how good He is, and I didn't notice that the light had changed. It is a good thing someone else loves Jesus because if he hadn't honked, I'd never have noticed. I found that LOTS of people love Jesus!

Why, while I was sitting there, the guy behind started honking like crazy, and then he leaned out of his window and screamed, "For the love of GOD! GO! GO! Jesus Christ, GO!" What an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus!

Everyone started honking! I just leaned out of my window and started waving and smiling at all these loving people. I even honked my horn few times to share in the love!

There must have been a man from Florida back there because I heard him yelling something about a "sunny beach."

I saw another guy waving in a funny way with only his middle finger stuck up in the air. Then I asked my teenage grandson in the back seat what that meant. He said that it was probably a Hawaiian good luck sign or something. Well, I've never met anyone from Hawaii, so I leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign back. My grandson burst out laughing; why, even he was enjoying this religious experience!

A couple of the people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that they got out of their cars and started walking towards me. I bet they wanted to pray or ask what church I attended, but this is when I noticed the light had changed. So, I waved to all my sisters and brothers grinning, and drove on through the intersection.

I noticed I was the only car that got through the intersection before the light changed again and I felt kind of sad that I had to leave them after all the love we had shared, so I slowed the car down, leaned out of the window and gave them all the Hawaiian good luck sign one last time as I drove away.

Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks!

Love,
Grandma

That's like the one about the horse that goes into the bar and plops down on a stool. The bartender asks "Why the long face?"

2 of 'em for ya. . .

A guy's sitting on his couch watching TV when he hears a knock on his door. He opens the door, but no one's there. He looks down and sees a snail. He picks up the snail and chucks it into the field across the street.

3 years later, the guy's watching TV again. He hears a knock on the door. He opens the door, but no one's there. He looks down, and there's a snail again. The snail looks up at the guys and says, "what the heck was that all about!"



Next one:

A snail's walking downtown when 2 turtles come out of the alley and beat him up. Later, the cops ask "did you get a good look at the attackers". The snail says, "No, it all happened so fast".

Ba-da-BOOM!

truth be told, these jokes work better orally rather than written, especially when done quickly back to back. It also helps if your audience is slightly warped. . .

Two church members were going door to door, and knocked on the door of a woman who was not happy to see them. She told them in no uncertain terms that she did not want to hear their message, and slammed the door in their faces.

To her surprise, however, the door did not close and, in fact, bounced back open. She tried again, really put her back into it, and slammed the door again with the same result -- the door bounced back open.

Convinced these rude young people were sticking their foot in the door, she reared back to give it a slam that would teach them a lesson, when one of them said, "Ma'am, before you do that again you need to move your cat."

LOL, good one Chuck!

An old man is talking long-distance to California when all of a sudden he gets cut off. He hollers, "Operator, give me back the party!"

She says, "I'm sorry sir, you'll have to make the call all over again."

He says, "What do you want from my life? Give me back da party."

She says, "I'm sorry sir, you'll have to place the call again."

He says, "Operator, ya know what? Take da telephone and shove it in you-know-where!" And he hangs up.

Two days later he opens the door and there are two big, strapping guys standing there who say, "We came to take your telephone out."

He says, "Why?"

They say, "Because you insulted Operator 28 two days ago. But if you'd like to call up and apologize, we'll leave the telephone here."

He says, "Wait a minute, what's da rush, what's da hurry?" He goes to the telephone and dials. "Hello? Get me Operator 28. Hello, Operator 28? Remember me? Two days ago I insulted you? I told you to take da telephone and shove it in you-know-where?"

She says, "Yes?"

He says, "Well, get ready -- they're bringin' it to ya!"

An elderly woman in Florida has an incredibly vivid dream that her son dies in a car crash in California. Suddenly, she's awoken by a phone call. It's the California Highway Patrol calling to remind her that she does not have a son.
