·        The pastor asked if anyone in the congregation would like to express praise for answered prayers.  Suzie Smith stood and walked to the podium.

She said, "I have a praise.  Two months ago, my husband, Tim, had a terrible bicycle wreck and his scrotum was completely crushed.  The pain was excruciating and the doctors didn't know if they could help him."

You could hear a muffled gasp from the men in the congregation as they imagined the pain that poor Tim must have experienced.

"Tim was unable to hold me or the children," she went on, "and every move caused him terrible pain."  “We prayed as the doctors performed a delicate operation, and it turned out they were able to piece together the crushed remnants of Tim's scrotum, and wrap wire around it to hold it in place."

Again, the men in the congregation cringed and squirmed uncomfortably as they imagined the horrible surgery Performed on Tim.

"Now," she announced in a quivering voice, "thank the Lord, Tim is out of the hospital and the doctors say that with time, his scrotum should recover completely."

All the men sighed with unified relief.  The pastor rose and tentatively asked if anyone else had something to say.

A man stood up and walked slowly to the podium.

He said, "I'm Tim Smith." The entire congregation held its breath.

"I just want to tell my wife the word is sternum."

·        A Rabbi went to the barber shop.  After his hair cut, he got ready to pay the barber and the barber said, "No Rabbi, I don't charge the clergy for haircuts."  So the next morning the barber found a loaf of Jewish rye bread outside of his door step.

A couple of days past and a Catholic priest came in to get his hair cut.  He got ready to pay and the barber said, "No Father, I don't charge the clergy for haircuts."  So the next morning he found a bottle of wine outside his front door step.

A couple of days later the Baptist minister came in to get his hair cut and when he got ready to pay the barber said, "No Reverend, I don't charge the clergy for their hair cuts."

So the next morning, the barber found 15 Baptist preachers on his doorstep, ready to get their hair cut!

·        Three travelers, an American, a Russian, and an Egyptian, were circumnavigating the globe a la Jules Verne.  The Russian man put his hand out and reached down into the clouds.
“Aaah!” he said. “We’re right over my homeland.”
“How can you tell?” asked the American.
“I can feel the cold air.” he replied.
A few days later the African man put his hand through the clouds.
“Aah we’re right over my homeland.” he said.
“How do you know that?” asked the Russian.
“I can feel the heat of the desert.”
Several more days later the American put his hand through the clouds.
“Aah, we’re right over Pittsburgh.”  The Russian and the African were amazed.
“How do you know all of that?!” they exclaimed.
The American pulled his hand in and held it up for them to see. “My watch is missing.”

·        There was a man who had worked his whole life in a pickle factory.  One day he came home and told his wife that he had been fired from his job.
She began to scream and yell, "You have given them twenty years of devoted service.  Why did they fire you?"
"For twenty years I’ve wanted to stick my pecker in the pickle slicer," he explained, "and today I finally did it!"
The wife ran over and pulled his pants down to see what damage had been done.
"You look okay," she said with a sigh of relief. "So what happened to the pickle slicer?"
"Well," he said with hesitation, "they fired her, too."
