Payment arrangements
The patient shook his doctor’s hand in gratitude and said, “Since we are the best of friends, I would not want to insult you by offering payment. But I would like for you to know that I have mentioned you in my will.”
“That is very kind of you,” said the doctor emotionally, and then added, “May I see that prescription I just gave you? I’d like to make a little change…”
3 Hymns
One Sunday a pastor told the congregation that the church needed some extra money and asked the people to prayerfully consider giving a little extra in the offering plate. He said that whoever gave the most would be able to pick out three hymns.
After the offering plates were passed, the pastor glanced down and noticed that someone had placed a $1,000 bill in offering. He was so excited that he immediately shared his joy with his congregation and said he’d like to personally thank the person who placed the money in the plate. A very quiet, elderly, saintly lady all the way in the back shyly raised her hand. The pastor asked her to come to the front.
Slowly she made her way to the pastor. He told her how wonderful it was that she gave so much and in gratitude asked her to pick out three hymns. Her eyes brightened as she looked over the congregation, pointed to the three handsomest men in the building and said, “I’ll take him and him and him.”
Clinton Joke No. 15646
President Clinton was at the beach and got into trouble while swimming. He called for help, and three young men went to his rescue and pulled him ashore.
Clinton wanted to show his gratitude, so he offered to give each of the young men what they would like, within reason.
The first young man said that he would like to have a Harley Davidson motorcycle. Clinton told him he could select it and to just send him the bill.
The second young man said he would like an All-Terrain ports vehicle. Again, Clinton told him he would have it.
The third young man declared that he would like a state-of-the-art wheelchair. Clinton was puzzled and asked him why an obviously healthy and athletic young man such as he was would want a wheelchair.
The young man replied that when his dad found out he had helped rescue him, he would break every bone in his body.
