JUST A SECOND
A man spoke to God and asked, "God, what is a million years like to you?" and God responded, "For me it is like one second." Then the man asked, "God what is a million dollars like to you?" God answered, "It is like just a penny to me, my son." so the man asked, "God, can I have a penny?" and god replied, "sure, just a second..."

THE CANDLE
Mrs. O'Donovan was walking down O'Connell Street in Dublin, and coming in the
opposite direction was Father O'Rafferty.
"Hello," said the Father, "And how is Mrs. O'Donovan, didn't I marry you two
years ago?" "You did that, Father."
"And are there any little ones yet?"
"No, not yet, Father." Said she.
"Well now, I'm going to Rome next week, and I'll light a candle for you."
"Thank-you, Father." And away she went.
A few years later they met again.
"Well now, Mrs. O'Donovan," said the Father, "how are you?"
"Oh, very well," said she.
"And tell me," he said, "have you any little ones yet?"
"Oh yes, Father. I've had three sets of twins, and four singles - ten in all."
"Now isn't that wonderful," he said "And how is your lovely husband?"
"Oh," she said, "he's over in Rome to blow that bloody candle out!"
GOD CREATES MAN
It seems that when God was making the world, He called man over and bestowed
upon him 20 years of normal sex life! Man was horrified! Only 20 years of normal
sex life?! But the Lord was adamant, that was all man could have.
Then the Lord called the monkey and gave him 20 years. 'But I don't need 20
years,' the monkey protested, '10 is plenty for me.' Man spoke up eagerly, 'Can
I have the other 10?' The monkey graciously agreed.
Then the Lord called the lion and gave him 20 years. The lion, like the monkey,
wanted only 10. Again, man spoke up,'Can I have the other 10?' The lion said of
course he could.
Then came the donkey, and he was given 20 years, but, like the others, 10 was
sufficient. And again, man pleaded, 'Can I have the other 10?'
Which explains why man has 20 years of normal sex life, 10 years of monkeying
around, 10 years of 'lion' about it, and 10 years of making an ass of himself!
GOD CREATES WOMAN
One day, after a near eternity in the Garden of Eden, Adam calls out to God, 'Lord, I have a problem.' 'What's the problem, Adam?' God replies. 'Lord, I know you created me and have provided for me and surrounded me with this beautiful garden and all of these wonderful animals, but I'm just not happy. 'Why is that, Adam?', came the reply from the Heavens. 'Lord, I know you created this place for me, but I'm lonely.' 'Well, Adam, in that case I have the perfect solution. I shall create a 'woman' for you.' 'What's a 'woman', Lord?' 'This 'woman' will be the most intelligent, sensitive, caring and beautiful creature I have ever created. She will be so intelligent that she can figure out what you want before you want it. She will also be so sensitive and caring that she will know your every mood and how to make you happy. Her beauty will rival that of the Heavens and Earth. She will unquestioningly care for your every need and desire. She will be the perfect companion for you.' 'Sounds great!' exclaims Adam. 'She will be, but this is going to cost you, Adam.' 'How much will this 'woman' cost me, Lord?' replies Adam. 'She'll cost you your right arm, your right leg, an eye, an ear, and your left testicle.' Adam ponders this for some time, with a look of deep thought and concern on his face. Finally, Adam says to God, 'Ehhh, what can I get for a rib?' The rest, as they say, is history!
A PRIEST AND HIS DONKEY
A priest wanted to raise money for his church, and seeing a fortune in horse-
racing, he decided to purchase a horse and enter it into a race. However, at the
local auction, the going price for horses was so steep that the priest ended up
buying a donkey. The priest figured that since he had the donkey anyway, he
might as well go ahead and enter it into the races. Much to his surprise, the
donkey came in third. The next day, the local sports section of the paper
carried the headline: 'PRIEST'S ASS SHOWS'
The priest was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in the races again
the following day. This time the donkey won! The next day the local paper read:
'PRIEST'S ASS OUT IN FRONT'
The bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that he told the priest not
to enter the donkey in another race. The headline that day read:
'BISHOP SCRATCHES PRIEST'S ASS'
This was too much for the bishop, so he ordered the priest to get rid of the
animal at once. Not surprisingly, the headlines reported:
'RACING PRIEST LOSES HIS ASS'
The bishop was horrified, but figured that was the end of the matter.
Unfortunately, the priest disposed of the donkey by giving it to the nearby
convent. So, the local paper was able to report:
'NUN HAS BEST ASS IN TOWN'
The bishop fainted. He informed the nun that she would have to dispose of the
donkey immediately. She found a farmer who was willing to buy the animal for
$10. The next day the headlines stated:
'NUN PEDDLES ASS FOR TEN BUCKS'
They buried the bishop that afternoon, and on the day following the funeral,
the headlines read:
'TOO MUCH ASS RESPONSIBLE FOR BISHOP'S DEATH'
3 NUNS AND SAINT PETER
Three nuns were enjoying a nature walk on a beautiful day, when they came to an
old wooden bridge. Unfortunately, as the three nuns crossed the bridge, the
brittle wood broke, and the nuns fell to their death.
Floating up to the Heavens, they became increasingly happy and excited as they
got close to the Pearly Gates. When they finally had reached the top of the
clouds, the three nuns were just about to open the gates to Heaven when St.
Peter stopped them, 'Hold it! Just because you were nuns on Earth doesn't mean
you can waltz right in here. I have to ask you each a question.'
The nuns all agreed that was fair. The first nun walked up to the gates and
St. Peter asked, 'Who created the Earth?'
The first nun thought for a second how easy the question was and replied, 'Our
Lord, God.' ... and the trumpets sounded and the choir sang and the gates opened
The first nun then entered into Heaven. The second nun walked up to the gates
and St. Peter asked, 'Who created man? The second nun thought about the question
('That's easy!') and replied, 'Our Lord, God.' ... and the trumpets sounded and
the choir sang and the gates opened ... The second nun entered into heaven.
Now the third nun walked up to the gates and St. Peter asked, 'What were Eve's
first words to Adam?' Thinking about the question, she mumbled to herself,
'Gosh, that's a hard one ...' and the trumpets sounded and the choir sang and
the gates opened ...
