The Monday Funnies

Well, it's time again for the Monday Funnies. And thanks to our pal Patrick Hill, we have some groaners to share with you today.

And thanks to Dave Walker, a cartoon. It is the start of school for many today, so may you find something to laugh about. Maybe this is a start...

An elderly parish priest was tending his garden near a convent when a passerby
stopped to inquire after the priest's much-loved roses.

"Not bad," said the priest, "but they suffer from a disease peculiar to this area
known as the black death."

"What on earth is that?" asked the passerby, anxious to increase his garden knowledge.

"Nuns with scissors."

A priest, a minister and a rabbi were all sitting at a table
finishing dinner and discussing theology. Suddenly, an angel appeared
before them.

"I have been sent to grant each of you one wish," she said. "Who will
go first"?

The catholic priest stood up. "I wish for the destruction of all
Protestants!"

Then the protestant minister bolted up. "I wish for the destruction
of all Catholics!"

The rabbi kept seated, so the angel asked, "How about you? What do
you wish for, Rabbi?"

The rabbi answered, "Well, if you're going to grant their wishes,
I'll just settle for another cup of coffee."
