| A young businessman had just started his own
firm. He'd rented a beautiful office and had it
furnished with antiques. Sitting there, he saw a
man come into the outer office. Wishing to appear
busy, the businessman picked up the phone and started to
pretend he had a big deal working. He threw huge
figures around and made giant commitments. Finally he
hung up and asked the visitor, "Can I help
you?" The man said, "Sure, I've come to
install the phone!" A priest is walking down the street one day
when he notices a very small boy trying to press a
doorbell on a house across the street. However the
boy is very small and the doorbell is too high for him to
reach. After watching the boys efforts for some
time, the priest moves closer to the boys position.
He steps smartly across the street, walks up behind the
little fellow and, placing his hand kindly on the child's
shoulder leans over and gives the doorbell a solid
ring. Crouching down to the child's level, the
priest smiles benevolently and asks, "And now what,
my little man?" An old couple go to the doctor.
The old man goes first to have his physical. When
the doctor is done with him, he sends the old man back
into the waiting room and calls the old woman in.
The doctor tells her, "Before we proceed with the
examination, I would like to talk to you about your
husband first." The old woman says, "Oh
no, it's his heart. I told him to lay off the
eggs." The doctor says, "No, physically
he is OK, but I'm worried about him mentally."
The old woman questions, "Whatever do you
mean?" The doctor says, "Well I asked
your husband how he is feeling and he told me he felt
great. He said that when he got up to go to the
bathroom, he opened the door and God turned the light on
for him. When he was done, he would shut the door
and God would turn the light out for him." An old man was wondering if his wife had a hearing problem. So one night, he stood behind her while she was sitting in her lounge chair. He spoke softly to her, "Honey, can you hear me?" There was no response. He moved a little closer and said again, "Honey, can you hear me?" Still no response. Finally he moved right behind her and said, "Honey, can you hear me?" She replied, "For the third time, Yes!" |
