“Truth exists; only falsehood has to be invented.”
— George Braque
The Preacher’s Teeth
The minister had all of his remaining teeth pulled out. New dentures were being made.
The first Sunday, he only preached for 10 minutes.
On the second Sunday, he preached for only 20 minutes.
On the third Sunday, he preached for 1 hour 25 minutes.
When asked about this by some of the congregation, he responded this way:
“The first Sunday, my gums were so sore it hurt to talk. The second Sunday, my new dentures were hurting me a lot. The third Sunday, I accidentally grabbed my wife’s dentures… and I just couldn’t shut up.”
Census
Census Taker: ‘How many children do you have?’
Woman: ‘Four.’
Census Taker: ‘May I have their names, please?’
Woman: ‘Eenie, Meenie, Minie and George.’
Census Taker: ‘Okay, that’s fine. But may I ask why you named your fourth child George?’
Woman: ‘Because we didn’t want any Moe.’
A Great Actor
There was once a great actor who had a problem. He could no longer remember his lines. Finally, he finds a theatre prepared to give him a chance to shine again. The director says, “This is the most important part, and it has only one line. You must walk onto the stage carrying a rose, hold the rose with just one finger and your thumb to your nose, sniff the rose deeply and then say the line… ‘Ah, the sweet aroma of my mistress.'” The actor is thrilled. All day long before the play, he’s practicing his line over and over again. Finally, the time came.
The curtain went up, the actor walked onto the stage, and with great passion, he delivered the line, “Ah, the sweet aroma of my mistress.”
The theatre erupted, the audience screamed with laughter… and the director steamed! “You fool!” he cried, “You have ruined me!”
The actor, quite bewildered, asked, “What happened, did I forget my line?” he asked.
“No!” the director screamed… “You forgot the rose!”

There were no injuries, but the car was heavily damaged, and the owner is facing a substantial fine.
Cats
I’ve never understood why women love cats. Cats are independent; they don’t listen or come in when you call, they like to stay out all night, and when they’re home, they want to be left alone and sleep.
Least Competent Criminal
A 62-year-old woman picked a poor time to dash through the self-checkout at Walmart with $700 worth of merchandise in her cart. The store was hosting a “Shop With a Cop” event in the Genoa Township store; there were about 75 police officers on hand when a clerk alerted one of the officers about the shoplifter. Michigan State Police Lt. Rene Gonzalez reportedly said, “It surprised me. When you see 75 cops in the store, I mean, ,,,, maybe they thought we were too busy.” The alleged thief was detained in the parking lot and taken to jail.
