DAMNED GOOD
A man went to church one day and afterward he stopped to shake the preacher's hand. He said:
"Preacher, I'll tell you, that was a damned fine sermon. Damned good!"
The preacher said:
"Thank you sir, but I'd rather you didn't use profanity."
The man said:
"I was so damned impressed with that sermon I put five thousand dollars in the offering plate!"
The preacher said:
"No shit?"

PERCEPTIVE DIAGNOSTICIAN
A young doctor had moved out to a small community to replace a doctor who was retiring. The older gent suggested the young one accompany him on his rounds so the community could become used to a new doctor. At the first house a woman complained:
"I've been a little sick to my stomach."
The older doctor said:
"Well, you've probably been overdoing the fresh fruit. Why not cut back on the amount you've been eating and see if that does the trick?"
As they left the younger man said:
"You didn't even examine that woman. How'd you come to your diagnosis so quickly?"
"I didn't have to. You noticed I dropped my stethoscope on the floor in there? When I bent over to pick it up, I noticed half a dozen banana peels in the trash. That was what was probably making her sick,"
"Huh," - the younger doctor said, - "pretty clever. I think I'll try that at the next house."
Arriving at the next house, they spent several minutes talking with an elderly woman. She complained that she just didn't have the energy she once did.
"I'm feeling terribly run down lately,"
"You've probably been doing too much work for the church," - the younger doctor told her. “Perhaps you should cut back a bit and see if that helps,"
As they left, the elder doc said:
"Your diagnosis is almost certainly correct, but how did you arrive at it?"
"Well, just like you at the last house, I dropped my stethoscope. When I bent down to retrieve it, I noticed the preacher under the bed."

Category: Ecumenical Stories NAME CALLING

The local preacher came to pay a visit to one of his church members on a Friday night. As he approached the house, he heard the loud voices of many people gathered inside. He knocked on the door and when the owner opened it, he saw behind him, a circle of naked men, with a blindfolded woman moving from one to another, handling each man's package and guessing whose it was.

Feeling quite embarrassed, the preacher stammered:

“I'll come at some other time. I don't think I'd fit in here right now.”

“Nonsense,” - the man replied. “Your name's been called three times already!”

Category: Ecumenical Stories THE GOLFING PREACHER There was this preacher who was an avid golfer. Every chance he could get, he could be found on the golf course, swinging away. It was an obsession. One Sunday it was a picture perfect day for golfing. The sun was out, no clouds in the sky and the temperature was just right. The preacher was in a quandary as to what to do and shortly, the urge to play golf overcame him. He called an assistant to tell him that he was sick and could not do church, packed the car up and drove three hours to a golf course where no one would recognize him. Happily, he began to play the course. An angel up above was watching the preacher and was quite perturbed. He went to the Lord and said: “Look at the preacher. He should be punished for what he is doing.” The Lord nodded in agreement. The preacher teed up on the first hole. He swung at the ball, and it sailed effortlessly through the air and landed right in the cup three hundred and fifty meters away. A perfect hole-in-one. He was amazed and excited. The angel was a little shocked. He turned to The Lord and said: “Begging Your pardon, but I thought you were going to punish him.” The Lord smiled: “Think about it – who can he tell?” Add to Technorati Favorites GoLedy.com
