Funny Poop
After church, Johnny tells his parents
he has to go and talk to the minister right away. They agree and the pastor greets the family.
"Pastor," Johnny says, "I heard you say today
that our bodies came from the dust."
"That's right, Johnny, I did."
"And I heard you say that when we die, our bodies go
back to dust."
"Yes, I'm glad you were listening. Why do you ask?"
"Well you better come over to our house right away and
look under my bed 'cause there's someone either comin' or goin'!"

Go in and strike with Ravens pride
