Funny Stuff

Marie Claire Caron of Prince George, B.C., must have been seeing a lot of the funnier side of life recently! And thankfully she was eager to share— providing three Funny Stuff selections for everyone’s enjoyment!

STRENGTH IN WISDOM

A young man at the construction site was bragging that he could outdo anyone based on his strength. He especially made fun of one of the older workmen. After listening to the endless bragging, the older worker had finally heard enough.

“Why don’t you put your money where your mouth is?” he said to the young braggart. “I’ll bet a week’s wages that I can haul something in a wheelbarrow over to the other building that you won’t be able to wheel back.”

“You’re on, old man,” the young man replied. “Let’s see what you‘ve got!”

The old man grabbed a wheelbarrow by the handles and, nodding to the young man, he said, “All right, sonny, get in!”

TRUTH IN PRAYER

A family was having some guests to their home for dinner. At the table, the mother turned to her six-year-old daughter and said, “Dear, would you like to say the blessings?”

“I wouldn’t know what to say,” replied the little girl, shyly.

“Well, just say what you hear Mommy say, sweetie,” the woman answered.

Her daughter took a deep breath, bowed her head and solemnly said, “Dear Lord, why did I invite all these people to dinner?”

WHAT NERVE!

After waiting more than an hour and a half for her date, the young lady decided that she had been stood up. Exasperated, she changed from her dinner dress into pyjamas and slippers, made some popcorn and resigned herself to an evening of television. No sooner had she flopped down in front of the TV than her door bell rang. She opened the door and there stood her date. He took one look at her and gasped, “I’m two hours late, and you’re still not ready!” ■
