Funnies

Here are a couple of "funnies" I've heard recently--real life experiences:

First one: I edit the weekly newsletter for the Sweet Adelines chorus group I'm a member of. I usually include a joke or funny saying at the end of the newsletter. For the latest one, I used several Church bulletin bloopers that my sister-in-law sent me a few weeks ago. The next day I received a reply from one of the chorus members, with her own "Church bulletin blooper."

Seems my friend Carol did the weekly bulletin for her ward (LDS) some years ago. One of the songs which the congregation would be singing was "We Thank Thee O God For a Prophet." Being somewhat in a hurry, she didn't realize that that she had mis-typed it to read "We Thank Thee O God For a Profit." Wouldn't have been quite so funny except that the theme of that Sacrament meeting was on "Tithes and Offerings."

The second one occurred today. I went with my husband to Hood River to deliver Real Estate and Sports magazines--the freebies you see in grocery stores and in racks on street corners. This was a new route for dh--we had a list of stops to go by, and a cassette tape that was recorded by the previous route driver to guide us on our way. At one point, he was trying to tell us about a stop--a bank. On the tape he hemmed and hawed, asked someone he couldn't see what the name of the bank was. As he was apparently driving and talking into the tape deck, he said something like, "What the heck is the name of this bank? Just a minute........." After a few seconds, the tape stated, "Drive Through....."

That's it for today. I hope I don't take forever for the next post!
