Service

One Sunday morning the pastor noticed little Johnny was standing

staring up at the large plaque that hung in the foyer of the church.

The young man of seven had been staring at the plaque for some time,

so the pastor walked up and stood beside him and gazing up at the

plaque he said quietly, "Good morning son."

"Good morning pastor" replied the young man not taking his eyes off

the plaque. "Sir, what is this?" Johnny asked.

"Well son, these are all the people who have died in the service",

replied the pastor. Soberly, they stood together staring up at the

large plaque.

Little Johnny's voice barely broke the silence when he asked quietly,

"Which one sir, the 8:30 or the 10:30?"

Remote Control

"Cash, check or charge?" I asked after folding items the woman wished

to purchase. As she fumbled for her wallet I notice a remote control

for a television set in her purse.

"Do you always carry your TV remote?" I asked.

"No," she replied. "But my husband refused to come shopping with me,

so I figured this was the most evil thing I could do to him."
