The Monday Funnies

Once again we enter a new work week and a new liturgical year. A few laughs are in order. Pat Hill and the overpaid bloated gang in the Jokester Department here at Fiat Lux Productions have been loafing all through Thanksgiving Week, and these jokes are the best they could come up with. And we have the return of Dave Walker this season with new cartoons.

And see below for a special Monday Funnies Extra Edition, a video proving a number of things including why Handel's Messiah should not be performed in the Advent-Christmas season. Enjoy your Monday . . .

A big, burly man visited the pastor's home and asked to see the minister's wife, a woman well known for her charitable impulses.

"Madam," he said in a broken voice, "I wish to draw your attention to the terrible plight of a poor family in this district. The father is dead, the mother is too ill to work, and the nine children are starving. They are about to be turned into the cold, empty streets unless someone pays their rent, which amounts to $400."

"How terrible!" exclaimed the preacher's wife. "May I ask who you are?"

The sympathetic visitor applied his handkerchief to his eyes. "I'm the landlord," he sobbed.

A pastor said to a precocious six-year-old boy, "So your mother says your prayers for you each night? Very commendable. What does she say?"

The little boy replied, "Thank God he's in bed!"

The rains began after a long dry spell and the farmer asked his pastor, "Looks, like God is answering your prayer. You must have an "in" with the Big Guy.

The pastor replied, "If that's so, he's got a long waiting list. This is October and my prayer was in June."
