Joke - Personal Airplane...





Personal Airplane


Tired of the inconvenience of driving from the airport to his
country cottage, a man equipped his small plane with pontoons
so he could land on the lake directly in front of his cottage.

On his next trip, however, he made his approach down the
airport runway as usual.

Alarmed, his wife cried out, "Are you crazy? You can't land
this plane here without wheels!"

The startled husband yanked the nose up, narrowly averting
certain disaster.

Continuing home, he landed the plane on the lake without
mishap.

As he sat there, visibly shaken, he said to his wife, "I don't
know what on earth got into me. That's the stupidest thing
I've
ever done in my life!"

And with that, he opened the door and stepped out... right
into
the water.

Joke - Worm Sermon...




Worm Sermon


A minister decided that a visual demonstration would add
emphasis
to his Sunday sermon.

Four worms were placed into four separate jars.

The first worm was put into a container of alcohol.

The second worm was put into a container of cigarette smoke.

The third worm was put into a container of chocolate syrup.

The fourth worm was put into a container of good clean soil.

At the conclusion of the sermon, the Minister reported the
following results:

The first worm in alcohol - dead.

The second worm in cigarette smoke - dead.

Third worm in chocolate syrup - dead.

Fourth worm in good clean soil - alive.

So the Minister asked the congregation, "What can we learn
from
this demonstration?"

A little old woman in the back quickly raised her hand and said:

"As long as you drink, smoke, and eat chocolate you won't have
worms!"
