Sunday Clothes

SUNDAY CLOTHES (found at Sermon Fodder)

A little boy was walking down a dirt road after church one Sunday afternoon when
he came to a crossroads where he met a little girl coming from the other
direction.

'Hello,' said the little boy

'Hi,' replied the little girl.

'Where are you going?' asked the little boy.

'I've been to church this morning and I'm on my way home,'
answered the little girl.

'I'm also on my way home from church.

Which church do you go to?' asked the little boy.

'I go to the Baptist church back down the road,' replied the little girl. 'What
about you? '

'I go to the Methodist church back at the top of the hill,' replied the little
boy.

They discover that they are both heading home the same way So they decided that
they'd walk together.

They came to a low spot in the road where spring rains had partially flooded the
road, so there was no way that they could get across to the other side without
getting wet.

'If I get my new Sunday dress wet, my Mom's going to skin me alive,' said the
little girl.

'My Mom'll tan my hide, too, if I get my new Sunday suit wet,'
replied the little boy.

'I tell you what I think I'll do,' said the little girl. 'I'm gonna pull off all
my clothes and hold them over my head and wade across.'

'That's a good idea,'replied the little boy. 'I'm going to do the same thing
with my suit.'

So they both undressed and waded across to the other side without getting their
clothes wet. They were standing there in the sun looking at each other waiting
to drip dry before putting their clothes back on, when the little boy finally
observed:

'You know, I never realized before just how much difference there really is
between a BAPTIST and a METHODIST!!!

Is this a good place to repeat the best joke I know? Mainly, it's one of the few jokes I can remember so that I can drop it in where appropriate. I'm pretty sure it originally came to me from NazNet but definitely BC.

A man decided to go to church one Sunday morning and was met at the door by an usher. "Sir, we require gentlemen to wear ties here." The open-collared man was taken aback by this. He hadn't anticipated a dress code. He went back out to his car and considered his options. He had no tie. It was too far to go home and come back. He searched his vehicle for a solution but all he could find was a set of jumper cables. In his frustration and anger at being turned away, he looped the jumper cables around his neck and headed back to the door, determined to carry through on his plan to attend church that morning. The usher looked him over and said:

"OK. You can come in, but you'd better not start anything!!"

Dave, If the mudhole was there when they were on their way home and not when they had walked to church earlier it must have rained during church time because the nearby Nazarenes gave a lusty rendition of "Showers of Blessing."

Marsha, I wouldn't want to hurt your feelings for anything in the world, but I think Dave may have an edge on humor, here. It's good that you could remember, though.

It could be that the visual images are just a little more distinct.

All right, that's it. You'll hear no more jokes from me. I'll just take my one-page joke book and go home.

Hmph!

Mutter, mutter.

(I just read about the value of truth-speaking in another thread and thought I would take this opportunity to demonstrate the Midwestern response to unwelcome "truth" too clearly voiced.)
