Popular Post sandyk Posted October 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 26, 2020 God is missing Jimmy and Matty, ages 8 and 4, were excessively mischievous. They were always getting into trouble and their parents knew if any mischief occurred in their town, the two boys were probably involved. The boys’ mother heard that a preacher in town had been successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys. The preacher agreed, but he asked to see them individually. The mother sent Matty in the morning and planned to send Jimmy to see the preacher in the afternoon. The preacher, a huge man with a deep booming voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him sternly, “Do you know where God is, son?” The boy’s mouth dropped open, but he made no response, sitting there wide-eyed with his mouth hanging open. So the preacher repeated the question in an even sterner tone, “Where is God?!” Again, Matty made no attempt to answer. The preacher raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy’s face and bellowed, “Where is God?!” The boy screamed and bolted from the room, ran directly home and dove into his closet, slamming the door behind him. When his older brother found him in the closet, he asked, “What happened?” Matty, gasping for breath, replied, “We are in BIG trouble this time! GOD is missing, and they think WE did it!” sphinxsix, Don Hills, MetalNuts and 1 other 4 How a Digital Audio file sounds, or a Digital Video file looks, is governed to a large extent by the Power Supply area.

Popular Post sandyk Posted October 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2020 Driving the Speed Limit 5 OLDER LADIES Sitting on the side of the highway waiting to catch speeding drivers, a Police Officer sees a car puttering along at 22 KPH. Says he to himself: "This driver is just as dangerous as a speeder!" So he turns on his lights and pulls the driver over. Approaching the car, he notices that there are five old ladies, two in the front seat and three in the back...wide eyed and white as ghosts. The driver, obviously confused, says to him "Officer, I don't understand, I was doing exactly the speed limit! What seems to be the problem?" "Madam," the officer replies, "you weren't speeding, but you should know that driving slower than the speed limit can also be a danger to other drivers." "Slower than the speed limit? No sir, I was doing the speed limit exactly...Twenty-two kilometers an hour!" ..the old woman says a bit proudly. The Police officer, trying to contain a chuckle explains to her that 22 is the highway number, not the speed limit. A bit embarrassed, the woman grins and thanks the officer for pointing out her error. "But before I let you go, Madam, I have to ask...Is everyone in this car OK? These women seem awfully shaken, and they haven't made a peep this whole time," the officer asks. "Oh, they'll be all right in a minute officer. We just got off Highway 189.." sphinxsix, One and a half, cambridgehank and 2 others 5 How a Digital Audio file sounds, or a Digital Video file looks, is governed to a large extent by the Power Supply area.

I would risk a thesis that people who have problems with laughing at 'their' man, quite probably have a problem with laughing at themselves which IMO may be one of ultimate proofs of a real sense of humor and maybe even a condition of self-development.. After all the easiest way leave your 'old' self behind is to ..laugh it out .............................................................. Back on topic. Today Radio France Internationale (kind of French BBC) has killed Queen Elizabeth II: "The United Kingdom awoke an orphan this morning. Buckingham Palace officially announced the death of Queen Elizabeth II. The Queen, who died of (…)*, turned 94 on 21 April 2020. All Albion laments the disappearance of its sovereign who, at the head of her country since 1952, has constituted the immovable bedrock around which England’s postcolonial history has unfolded, full of sound and fury.” But it's not only about about Queen Elizabeth II and RFI - in general it seems that French media just love to declare people (not only Brits!) dead- as for politician Bernard Tapie, he's been actually mistakenly declared dead today for the third time - first, Le Monde published his obituary in 2019, while the TV station of the sports paper L’Équipe killed him off on screen last August. But it's not only the Queen and Tapie.. French broadcaster apologises after killing off Queen and Pelé Anyway it seems that if one sees one's obituary in French media it is more advisable not to take the whole thing in 100% seriously..
