Laughter, the Best Medicine
HORSEPLAY
A devout cowboy had lost his favourite Bible while out riding his property. He searched long and hard but couldn’t find it anywhere.
Later that day a horse turned up with the Bible in its mouth, and dropped it at the cowboy’s feet.
The cowboy couldn’t believe his eyes. He looked to the sky, raised his arms and shouted, “Praise be to the Lord, it’s a miracle!”
“Not really,” said the horse. “Your name and address are written on the inside cover.” SUBMITTED BY TERRY SANGSTER
A LEND IN NEED
Every time Peter, the man next door, headed towards Paul’s house, Paul knew he was coming to borrow something. He was always doing this and it was driving Paul crazy.
“Peter won’t get away with it this time,” muttered Paul to his wife. “Watch this.”
“Er, I wondered if you’d be using your hedge trimmer this morning?” asked Peter the neighbour.
“Oh, I’m terribly sorry,” replied Paul with a smug look, “but the fact of the matter is I’ll be using it all day.”
“In that case,” smiled Peter, “you
won’t be using your golf clubs. Mind if I borrow them?” SUBMITTED BY KAY MADDOCKS
GRAVEYARD SHIFT
A teenager takes a shortcut home through a cemetery. Halfway across, he’s startled by a tapping noise coming from the shadows. Trembling with fear, he spots an old man with a hammer and chisel, chipping away at a headstone.
“I thought you were a ghost!” says the relieved teen. “What are you doing working so late?”
“Oh, those idiots,” grumbles the old man. “They misspelled my name.” SUBMITTED BY GINETTE HUGHES
