Hot Muffins

Two muffins were baking in the oven.

One turns to the other and says, “It sure is hot in here!”

The other one screams, “Oh, no!  A talking muffin!”

  

Several years ago I preached a sermon from Psalm 78, which instructs parents to tell their children what they know about God.  I suggested that telling about God is like telling a joke – you think through the wording, the phrasing, the audience, and make sure you get the punch line right.  After the service, fourth grader Grace ran up to me at the door, told me this joke, and ran away.  I was impressed that she heard at least part of the sermon.

Should I have heart surgery?

An 85 year old man facing heart surgery tells the doctor he has two questions:

“First, if your 85 year old father was in this situation, would you advise him to have the surgery or not?”

The doctor said, “I would tell him to go ahead – he was healthy and in good shape just like you, and the surgery would improve what he could do.”

“OK, second question – how well did you get along with your father?”
