A priest and a rabbi operated a
church and a synagogue across the street from each other.
Since their schedules intertwined, they decided to go in together to buy a car. After the purchase, they drove it home and parked in on the street
between their establishments. A few minutes later, the rabbi looked out and saw the priest sprinkling water on their new car. It didn't need a wash, so he ran out and asked the priest what he
was doing.
"I'm blessing it," the priest replied.
The rabbi considered this a moment, then said, "Oh," and ran back inside the synagogue. He reappeared a moment later with a hacksaw, ran to the back of the car and cut
off the last two inches of the tailpipe.

How Many Church Members Does it Take to Change A Light Bulb?
- Charismatic: Only one. Hands already in the air.
- Pentecostals: Ten. One to change the bulb, and nine to pray against the spirit of darkness.
- Presbyterians: None. Lights will go on and off at predestined times.
- Roman Catholic: None. Candles only.
- Baptists: At least 15. One to change the light bulb, and three committees to approve the change and decide who brings the potato salad.

- Unitarians: We choose not to make a statement either in favor of or against the need for a light bulb. However, if in your own journey you have found that light
bulbs work for you, that is fine. You are invited to write a poem or compose a modern dance about your light bulb for the next Sunday service, in which we will explore a number of light bulb
traditions including incandescent, fluorescent, three-way, long-life and tinted, all of which are equally valid paths to luminescence.
- Methodists: Undetermined. Whether your light is bright, dull, or completely out, you are loved. You can be a light bulb, turnip bulb, or tulip bulb. Church-wide
lighting service is planned for Sunday. Bring bulb of your choice and a covered dish.
- Nazarene: Six. One woman to replace the bulb while five men review church lighting policy.
- Lutherans: None. Lutherans don't believe in change.
- Amish: What's a light bulb?

O'Toole worked in the lumber yard for twenty years ...
... and all that time he'd been stealing the wood and selling it. At last his conscience began to bother him and he went to confession to repent.
"Father, it's 15 years since my last confession, and I've been stealing wood from the lumber yard all those years," he told the priest.
"I understand my son," says the priest.
"Can you make a Novena?"
O'Toole said, "Father, if you have the plans, I've got the lumber."
Paddy was in New York.
He was patiently waiting, and watching the traffic cop on a busy street crossing. The cop stopped the flow of traffic and shouted, "Okay, pedestrians."
Then he'd allow the traffic to pass. He'd done this several times, and Paddy still stood on the sidewalk.
After the cop had shouted "Pedestrians" for the tenth time, Paddy went over to him and said, "Is it not about time ye let the Catholics across?"

The minister of a city church enjoyed a drink now and then
... ... but his passion was for peach brandy. One of his congregants would make him a bottle each Christmas. One year, when the minister went to
visit his friend, hoping for his usual Christmas present, he was not disappointed, but his friend told him that he had to thank him for the peach brandy from the pulpit the next Sunday.
In his haste to get the bottle, the minister hurriedly agreed and left. So the next Sunday the minister suddenly remembered that he had to make a public announcement that he
was being supplied alcohol from a member of the church. That morning, his friend sat in the church with a grin on his face, waiting to see the minister's embarrassment.
The minister climbed into the pulpit and said, "Before we begin, I have an announcement. I would very much like to thank my friend, Joe, for his kind gift of peaches ... and
for the spirit in which they were given!"

A college professor, an avowed Atheist, was teaching his
class.
He shocked several of his students when he flatly stated he was going to prove there was no God. Addressing the ceiling he shouted: "God, if you are
real, then I want you to knock me off this platform I'll give you 15 minutes!"
The lecture room fell silent. You could have heard a pin fall. Ten minutes went by. Again he taunted God, saying, "Here I am, God. I'm still waiting."
His countdown got down to the last couple of minutes when a Marine - just released from active duty and newly registered in the class - walked up to the professor, hit
him full force in the face, and sent him tumbling from his lofty platform. The professor was out cold! At first, the students were shocked and babbled in confusion. The young Marine took a
seat in the front row and sat silent. The class fell silent...waiting.
Eventually, the professor came to, shaken. He looked at the young Marine in the front row. When the professor regained his senses and could speak he asked: "What's the
matter with you? Why did you do that?"
"God was busy. He sent me."

Abraham had been dying for years,
keeping his poor wife on edge with his demands ... ... and constant imprecations. Finally, on his 89th
birthday, he announced that he really was dying, and would not last the night. In fact he looked very ill, and the doctor had said the end was really close. None of the family believed this,
it had happened so often, so only his wife was left to comfort him at the end.
Almost in keeping with the event, the weather suddenly became violent, with thunder, lightning and pelting rain. As he gazed up into his wife's eyes, Abraham said,
"Sara, my dear, be a loving wife and call the priest, please."
"What, she yelped, "The Priest?!"
"Yes, my dear. Please."
"No, no, I'll call the rabbi."
"No, no, the priest!"
"Oh, no, no. On his deathbed my husband has joined the goyem, lost his senses, turned his back on his faith. Oh, Oh." And she burst into tears.
"There, there, my dear love. Call the priest. I would not trouble the rabbi on a night like this."

An elderly deacon in the
local congregation had the habit of falling asleep during the sermon ... ... which was not too bad,
but his snoring was. The minister talked to him, pleaded with him, but no matter the intention to stop, the sleeps continued. Finally the minister thought of a way to put an end to this once
and for all this embarrassment. The following Sunday sure enough, five minutes into the sermon, the deacon's snores were reverberating.
In a very quiet voice he said to the congregation, "Listen. I love Jim, but I can't let him snore like that, it's puts me off. So, when I make my next announcement, I
want you all to keep quiet and stay seated. OK?"
A few moments later he bellowed out as loud as he could, "Would all those that want to go to hell stand UP!!"
This woke Jim with a start, and jumping to his feet and looking around he said, "Well, reverend, I don't know what the motion was, but it looks as though you and I are
the only ones for it!"

A young Nun was out visiting parishioners when she
ran out of gas ... As luck would have it there was a gas station just one block away. She walked to the station to borrow a can with enough
gas to start the car and drive to the station for a fill up.
The attendant regretfully told her that the only gas can he owned had just been loaned out, but if she would care to wait he was sure it would be back shortly. Since
the nun was on the way to see a patient she decided not to wait and walked back to her car.
After looking through her car for something to carry to the station to fill with gas, she spotted a bedpan she was taking to the patient.
Always resourceful, she carried it to the station, filled it with gasoline, and carried it back to her car. As she was pouring the gas into the tank of her car, two men
watched her from across the street.
One of them turned to the other and said: "I know that it is said that Jesus turned water into wine, but if that car starts, I'll become a Catholic for the rest off my
life!"
