More than One

Many many years ago, when the world was comprised mostly of farms and small rural communities, the dumbest or goofiest person living in each town was referred to as “the village idiot,” It was commonly thought that every village had one.

Today, many folks believe that most communities have a lot more than one! What do you think? Or is that an idiotic question?

The St. Peter Principle

My years as an usher at St. Peter’s Catholic Church have taught me that if you’re late and the church seems packed there’s always room up front!

Judge Bobo

Judge Bobo, a deeply religious man who was well versed in the Bible, was aware that in the Old Testament, Joshua made the sun stand still.

Back during Prohibition, the good judge presided over a court in Decatur, Indiana, and one day a black man, by the name of Joshua, was hauled before him for bootlegging.

“Joshua,” the good-natured judge asked, “Are you the one who made the sun stand?”

“No sir, Mr. Judge, ah’s duh one dat made da moonshine!

Help Needed

A friend once asked me, “Why do you go to church every Sunday?”

“Well,” I answered, “it’s a little bit like working out. When it’s over, I always feel better. Besides, I honestly believe that it helps me to be a better person and heaven knows I need all the help I can get?”

In Plain English

In the United States, a nation made up of people from every country, culture, and religion in the world, the English language is the common thread that holds us together.

de Seat

In the 1960’s, Ronald Reagan, who was then a movie star and spokesman for the General Electric Company, made a cameo appearance at the Decatur, Indiana, GE. Plant. During that visit, a brief respite was planned at one of the plant executive’s, Roger Schuster’s home.

The neighborhood ladies, anticipating Regan’s arrival, asked Roger’s wife, Irene, what she did to spiff her house up for his visit. “The only thing I did,” she replied, “was to buy a new toilet seat.”

Several years later, when the Schuster’s moved to another city, Irene removed the seat (which Ronnie used) and took it with her. I guess she just didn’t want to part with the memory of de seat! And that’s no crap!
