Sadly many, many, many believe one of the myths, or versions told regarding the Bible and its teachings. A cafeteria hodgepodge of choices are proposed. Giving the

The world is out to stamp out Christianity. In Europe it is well advanced ahead of America. Suffice it to say America is going the same path as Europe, and most of the rest of the world. “Any religion will do”, NOT!!! “Any thing that seems right to a person is fine”, NOT!!!

God is not mocked. Choose wisely.

“Today I have set before thee life and death , ... choose life”

God id good, God is love, God instructs us how to please him. It is not onerous.

Read the Holy Bible it has all the answers to whatever the need is.

Forgot My Glasses

Yesterday my daughter asked me why I didn’t do something useful with my time. She suggested I go down to the senior center and hang out with the guys. So I did and when I got home last night I told her that I had joined a parachute club.

She said, “Are you nuts? You’re 70 years old and you’re going to start jumping out of airplanes?”

I proudly showed her that I even got a membership card.

She took it, looked at it and then said to me, “For heaven’s sake, you must have forgotten your glasses! This is a membership to a Prostitute Club, not a Parachute Club!”

I’m in trouble again and don’t know what to do! I signed up for five jumps a week!

Life as a senior citizen is not getting any easier.

“I never went to the prom, which was probably for the best because the only person who asked me to go was the janitor.” -Jimmy Kimmel

“Country music resonates with Scottish people — getting drunk, getting your heart broken, and getting drunk again.” -Craig Ferguson

“Subway sandwich shops are testing out several upscale restaurants called Subway Cafes. They feature wood paneling, lounge seating, and other things to distract you from the tuna fish being served with an ice-cream scoop.” -Jimmy Fallon

A man goes to the doctor with a swollen foot. After a careful examination, the doctor gives the man a pill big enough to choke a horse.

“I’ll be right back with some water,” the doctor tells him.

The doctor has been gone a while and the man loses patience. He hobbles out to the drinking fountain, forces the pill down his throat and gobbles down water until the pill clears his throat. He hobbles back into the examining room.

Just then the doctor comes back with a bucket of warm water. “Ok, after the tablet dissolves, soak that foot for about 20 minutes.”

Exercise of the brain is as important as exercise of the muscles. As we grow older, it’s important that we keep mentally alert. The saying: “If you don’t use it, you will lose it” also applies to the brain.

Below is a very private way to gauge your loss or non-loss of intelligence. So take the following test presented here and determine if you are losing it or are still a MENSA candidate. OK, relax, clear your mind and . . . begin.

1. What do you put in a toaster?

The answer is bread. If you said “toast,” then give up now and go do something else. Try not to hurt yourself. If you said, “bread,” go to question 2.

2. Say “silk” five times. Now spell “silk.” What do cows drink?

Answer: Cows drink water. If you said “milk,” please do not attempt the next question. Your brain is obviously overstressed and may even overheat. It may be that you need to content yourself with
reading something more appropriate such as “Children’s World”. If you said, “water” then proceed to question three.

3. If a red house is made from red bricks and a blue house is made from blue bricks and a pink house is made from pink bricks and a black house is made from black bricks, what is a greenhouse made from?

Answer: Greenhouses are made from glass. If you said “green bricks”, what the heck are you still doing here reading these questions? If you said “glass,” then go on to question four.

4. Twenty years ago, a plane is flying at 20,000 feet over Germany. If you will recall, Germany at the time was politically divided into West Germany and East Germany. Anyway, during the flight, TWO of the engines fail. The pilot, realizing that the last remaining engine is also failing, decides on a crash landing procedure. Unfortunately the engine fails before he has time and the plane crashes smack in the middle of “no man’s land” between East Germany and West Germany. Where would you bury the survivors - East Germany or West Germany or in “no man’s land?”

Answer: You don’t, of course, bury survivors. If you said ANYTHING else, you are a real dunce and you must NEVER try to rescue anyone from a plane crash. Your efforts would not be appreciated. If you said, “Don’t bury the survivors” then proceed to the next question.

5. If the hour hand on a clock moves 1/60th of a degree every minute then how many degrees will the hour hand move in one hour?

Answer: One degree. If you said “360 degrees” or anything other than “one degree,” you are to be congratulated on getting this far, but you are obviously out of your league. Turn your pencil in and
exit the room. Everyone else proceed to the final question.

6. Without using a calculator — You are driving a bus from London to Milford Haven in Wales. In London, 17 people get on the bus. In Reading, six people get off the bus and nine people get on. In Swindon, two people get off and four get on. In Cardiff, 11 people get off and 16 people get on. In Swansea, three people get off and five people get on. In Carmathen, six people get off and three get on. You then arrive at Milford Haven. What was the name of the bus driver?

Answer: Oh, for heaven sake! It was YOU, Read the first line in paragraph 6!!!
