Funny Stories

Well, funny to me, anyway....

One Sunday morning, an old, shabbily dressed man happened to be walking through an elegant suburb when he spotted a huge, beautiful church. He entered during the worship service, and took a seat in the rear pew.

The well-dressed congregation was unnerved by his appearance. As he was leaving the service, the pastor told the old man, "Before you come back again, please pray and have a talk with God. Ask Him what He thinks would be the proper clothes for worshipping in this church."

The next Sunday the old man returned to the church in the same shabby clothes. After the service, the pastor again asked him whether or not he had talked to God about the appropriate attire for church.

"I did talk to God," the old man replied. "He told me that He wouldn't have any idea what was appropriate attire for worshipping in your church. He said He's never been in here before."

And then a few one-liners....
