Beware of Dog
Upon entering the little country store, the stranger noticed a sign saying;
DANGER! BEWARE OF DOG! posted on the glass door.
Inside he noticed a harmless old hound dog asleep on the floor beside the cash register.
He asked the store manager, "Is THAT the dog folks are supposed to beware of?"
"Yep, that's him," he replied.
The stranger couldn't help but be amused. "That certainly doesn't look like a dangerous dog to me.
Why in the world would you post that sign?"
"Because," the owner replied, "before I posted that sign, people kept tripping over him."

At a lunch break, Costigan who was Irish started talking to Clark, who was a Protestant.
"Do you know the difference,' asked Costigan, "between a baseball game and a Protestant Sunday School".
"Tell me," said Clark.
"At a Protestant Sunday School they sing 'Stand Up For Jesus,'
and at a baseball game they holler, " 'Sit down, for God’s sake !!'

Henpecked husband
A henpecked husband was advised by a psychiatrist to assert himself.
"You don't have to let your wife bully you," he said.
"Go home and show her you're the boss."
The husband decided to take the doctor's advice.
He went home, slammed the door, shook his fist in his wife's
face, and growled,
"From now on you're taking orders from me.
I want my supper right now, and when you get it
on the table, go upstairs and lay out my clothes.
Tonight I am going out with the boys.
You are
going to stay at home where you belong.
Another thing, you know who is going to tie my bow tie?
"I certainly do," screamed the wife, "the undertaker."

Subject: Math is Serious
Little Tommy was doing very badly in math.
His parents had tried everything, tutors, flash cards,
special learning centers, in short, everything that they could think of.
Finally in a last ditch effort, they took Tommy down
& enrolled him in the local Catholic School.
After the first day, little Tommy came home with a very serious look on his face.
He doesn't kiss his mother hello.
Instead, he goes straight to his room and starts studying his math.
Books and papers are spread out all over the room and Little Tommy is hard at work.
His mother is amazed.
She calls him down to dinner and to her shock, the minute he is done he marches
back to his room without a word and in no time he is
back hitting the books as hard as before.
This goes on for some time, day after day while the
mother tries to understand what made all the difference.
Finally, Little Tommy brings home his report card.
He quietly lays it on the table and goes up to his room and hits the books.
With great trepidation, his mom looks at it and
to her surprise, Little Tommy got an A in Math.
She can no longer hold her curiosity. She goes to his
room and says: "Son, what was it? Was it the nuns?"
Little Tommy looks at her and shakes his head.
"Well then," She replies "was it the books,
the discipline, the structure, the uniforms, WHAT was it??"
Little Tommy looks at her and says "Well, on the first day of school,
when I saw that man nailed to the plus sign, I knew they weren't fooling around."

WHERE DID IT ALL BEGIN?
Let's see...I think it might have started when Madeline Murray O'Hare
This was passed on by a man named Clarence Schultz, who wrote down some of his thoughts.
complained that she didn't want any prayer in our schools, and we said OK.
Then someone said you had better not read the Bible in school
the Bible that says thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal,
and love your neighbor as yourself. And we said, OK.
Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when they
misbehave because their little personalities would be warped and we
might damage their self-esteem.
And we said, an expert should know what
he's
talking about so we won't spank them anymore.
Then someone said that teachers and principals better not discipline
our children when they misbehave.
And the school administrators said no
faculty member in this school better touch
a student when they misbehave
because we don't want any bad publicity,
and we surely don't want to be
sued. And we accepted their reasoning.
Then someone said, let's let our daughters have abortions if they want,
and they won't even have to tell their parents. And we said, that's a
grand idea.
Then some wise school board member said, since boys will be boys and
they're going to "do it" anyway, let's give our sons all the condoms they want,
so they can have all the "fun" they desire, and we won't have
to tell their parents they got them at school. And we said, that's another great idea.
And then some of our top elected officials said that it doesn't matter
what we do in private as long as we do our jobs. And agreeing with them,
we said it doesn't matter to me what anyone, including what the President,
does in private as long as I have a job and the economy is good.
And then someone said let's print magazines with pictures of nude women
and call it wholesome down-to-earth appreciation for the beauty of the female body.
And we said we have no problem with that.
And someone else took that appreciation a step further and published
pictures of nude children and then stepped further still by making them
available on the internet. And we said they're entitled to their free speech.
And the entertainment industry said, let's make TV shows and movies that
promote profanity, violence, and illicit sex. And let's record music
that encourages homosexuality, rape, drugs, murder, suicide, and satanic themes.
And we said it's just entertainment, it has no adverse effect,
and nobody takes it seriously anyway, so go right ahead.
Therefore, now we're asking ourselves why our children have no
conscience,
why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill strangers,
their classmates, and themselves.
Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out.
I think it has a great deal to do with... "we reap what we sow."
