One Sunday morning a mother went in to wake her son and tell him it was time to get ready for church, to which he replied, 'I'm not going..'
'Why not?' she asked.
“I'll give you two good reasons,” he said.
“(1) They don't like me, and
(2), I don't like them.”
His mother replied, 'I'll give YOU two good reasons why YOU SHOULD go to church.
(1) You're 59 years old, and
(2) You're the pastor!'

The Picnic
A Jewish Rabbi and a Catholic Priest met at the town's annual 4th of July picnic. Old friends, they began their usual banter.
'This baked ham is really delicious,' the priest teased the rabbi. 'You really ought to try it.. I know it's against your religion, but I can't understand why such a wonderful food should be forbidden! You don't know what you're missing. You just haven't lived until you've tried Mrs. Hall's prized Virginia Baked Ham.
Tell me, Rabbi, when are you going to break down and try it?'
The rabbi looked at the priest with a big grin, and said, 'At your wedding..'

The Best Way To Pray
A priest, a minister and a guru sat discussing the best positions for prayer, while a telephone repairman worked nearby.
'Kneeling is definitely the best way to pray,' the priest said.
'No,' said the minister. 'I get the best results standing with my hands outstretched to Heaven.'
'You're both wrong,' the guru said. 'The most effective prayer position is lying down on the floor.'
The repairman could contain himself no longer.. 'Hey, fellas,' he interrupted.. 'The best prayin' I ever did was when I was hangin' upside down from a telephone pole.'

The Twenty and the One
A well-worn one-dollar bill and a similarly distressed twenty-dollar bill arrived at a Federal Reserve Bank to be retired. As they moved along the conveyor belt to be burned, they struck up a conversation. The twenty-dollar bill reminisced about its travels all over the country.
'I've had a pretty good life,' the twenty proclaimed. 'Why I've been to Las Vegas and Atlantic City , the finest restaurants in New York, performances on Broadway, and even a cruise to the Caribbean '.
'Wow!' said the one-dollar bill.
'You've really had an exciting life!'
'So tell me,' says the twenty, 'where have you been throughout your lifetime?'
The one dollar bill replies, 'Oh, I've been to the Methodist Church , the Baptist Church , the Lutheran Church '.
The twenty-dollar bill interrupts, 'What's a church?'
'Why not?' she asked.
“I'll give you two good reasons,” he said.
“(1) They don't like me, and
(2), I don't like them.”
His mother replied, 'I'll give YOU two good reasons why YOU SHOULD go to church.
