A wife, being the romantic sort, sent her husband a text: “If you are sleeping, send me your dreams. If you are laughing, send me your smile. If you are eating, send me a bite. If you are drinking, send me a sip. If you are crying, send me your tears. I love you.” The husband, typically non-romantic, replied: “I am on the toilet. Please advise.”

Closing Sermon Words:

A preacher was completing a temperance sermon: with great expression he said, “If I had all the beer in the world, I’d take it and throw it into the river.” With even greater emphasis, he said, “And if I had all the wine in the world, I’d take it and throw it into the river.” And then finally he said, “And if I had all the whiskey in the world, I would throw it into the river.”

He sat down. The song leader then stood very cautiously and announced with a smile, “For our closing song, let us sing Hymn # 365: Shall we Gather at the River.”

Three sisters age 92, 94, and 96 live in a house together. One night the 96 year old draws a bath, puts her foot in and pauses. She yells down stairs, “Was I getting in or out of the bath?” The 94 year old hollers back, “I don’t know, I’ll come up and see.” She starts up the stairs and pauses, then she yells, “Was I going up the stairs or coming down?” The 92 year old was sitting at the kitchen table having tea listening to her sisters. She shakes her head and says, “I sure hope that I never get that forgetful.” She knocks on wood, just for good measure. She then yells, “I’ll come up and help both of you as soon as I see who’s at the door.”
