John Crist strikes again!
From Right Wing Watch:
Prophet Charlie Shamp: Pete Rose Will Enter The Hall of Fame as a Sign of Christâs Imminent Return
Better than anything a professional comedian could come up with!
Yah, but I kind of wonder if the scandal monger gets glorified whether itâs not a prince of the other kingdom whoâs coming back again.
I donât think soâIt is clear that I am mocking him and his false prophesy. On the other hand we are supposed to
tolerate post after post tearing Christianity apart.
No, I am sorry⌠I was really obscure. .I meant if Pete Rose actually makes it into the Hall of Fame, it doesnât necessarily glorify GodâŚso Iâd associate a darker prince with that than a type of good news! It was a great postâŚI had never seen that site before. Thank you. Like you said, itâs better than made up by a comedian (though sadder too). Thanks; sorry I wasnât clear. It kind of hits home to me too because Bakker is from my dadâs home town of Muskegon, half an hour from me. Weird, though⌠I just talked to someone who had never heard of him or the scandal.
I had lost track of him, it was a little interesting how much his new wife looks like Tammy Faye 2.0.
Ha! I really need to find the time to get through this whole thread. I wonder if I will find any of my old priestâs many jokes here? He always told one before each homily.
You can always search a thread for keywords â the magnifying glass in the upper right, and then remember to check the box âsearch this topicâ so it doesnât search the forum at large.
I did that just now to see if I had already shared a joke (or even heard it here first â not finding it, here goesâŚ)
So a man and his friend were out golfing, and he was just getting ready to swing when he noticed a funeral procession driving by. He stopped, mid-swing ⌠took off his hat, bowed his head, and remained that way until the entire procession had passed. As he was resuming his play, his friend commented âyou know ⌠I think thatâs the sweetest, most respectful thing Iâve ever seen!â His reply: âwell ⌠yeah, we were married for 35 years after all!â
That sounds exactly like a joke my priest would have told!
Thanks for the search tip!
Well if this one has been told before it has been a quite a while as I always catch up with this thread whenever Iâve been away a while. Canât trust my memory to tell it straight so I found and copied it online.
So, Moses and Jesus are golfing at Shinnecock Hills before the US Open. They get to #6 and Jesus says to Moses, âI saw Tiger hit this with a 3 iron.â
âYeah, well, youâre not him,â says Moses.
Jesus, smirks, picks up his 3 iron and thwack, the ball plops in the water.
âIâll get it, Iâll get it,â says Moses. Who wades into the water looking for the ball. To no avail. âJust take another shot,â he says.
âI can do it,â says Jesus.
âJust hit the driver,â Moses urges
âTiger did it,â says Jesus.
âYouâre going in after it this time then,â Moses says.
âSure, if it goes in,â Jesus answers. âBut it wonât.â
He takes his time. Lines up the shot. Reads the wind. Approaches the ball. Sets his sandals in the grass. Breathes in. Pulls his 2 iron back. THWACK. The ball sails then slices into the water. Jesus lets his shoulders sit momentarily then is unbowed. âTiger did it,â he says to Moses brightly, then takes off his sandals and goes out after the ball. He wades into the water, looking down and around about where the ball plopped. Moses watches from the tee as Jesus, as he is wont to do, rises up onto the surface of the water, walking along the surface, searching.
Two men in the next party approach Moses and point out toward the water. âWhoâs that guy think he is?â they ask, âJesus Christ?â
Moses answers, âNo, he thinks heâs Tiger Woods.â
Here is a link to a science-y article on a Mennonite humor site. Really. I thought Merv would enjoy some Anabaptist humor. It is sort of a Mennonite Babylon Bee.

Thanks for that, Phil! Here is another offering from the Daily Bonnet, though the warning may be too late here for eclipse enthusiasts.
and something appropriate to review for a discussion forum:

All we need is that article translated into low German!
So ⌠if weâre on a âbeeâ kick here, I canât resist at least one moreâŚ.
[âŚand the followup article for the next day could be: âShe graciously offers to let him help keep the household fed and cleaned, and he, feeling honored, gets right on it!â]
I couldnât help but laugh at this. As a double Biology/Religion major, it strikes me as quite funny!
Not quite humor, but maybe fun:
Quiz:
My last birthday mm/dd/yyyy of the 1900âs was a special day with a property that will not occur again for another (approximately) 1092 years from today. What is my birthday?
Is your birthday January 13th? Though if that was the answer, I confess I wouldnât know the significance of your reference to your 1999 birthday. But Iâm guessing youâre dealing with a palindromic something-or-other here.
