Mother, admonishing her young son for lying: "Son, if you keep on lying, a bad man with a tail and pitchfork will catch you and force you to work in a fiery hole for 50 years. You won't tell another lie, now, will you?"
Boy: "No, mom. You tell them better than I do."
Recently, a woman in our office came home and was informed by her neighbor that her 10-year-old cat had been hit by a car and killed about 30 minutes earlier. The woman was quite shocked, of course, but worried more about how to tell her 8-year-old daughter and 6-year-old son about the death of the family pet.
When the two got home, she sat them down and proceeded to tell them that the cat had been struck by a car and killed. The 8-year-old understood right away and started to cry. The mother tried to soften the blow by telling the children not to worry, that God had someone new to keep him company in heaven.
The six-year-old boy gave his mom a questioning look and asked, "What's God gonna' do with a DEAD CAT"?
All the good knights were leaving for the Crusades. One knight told his best friend " My bride is without doubt one of the most beautiful women in the world. It would be a terrible waste if no man could have her. Therefore, as my best and most trusted friend, I am leaving you the key to her chastity belt to use should I not return from the Crusade."
The company of knights were only a mile or so out of town when they noticed a cloud of dust approaching. Thinking it might be an important message from the town the column halted.
A horseman approached. It was the knights best friend. He said " Hey, you gave me the wrong key." |
