After many years of trying, I think I finally got it right. I hope! But in any case, I will probably write it again next year too.  Just for fun!

This is the 1000th post on this blog. I have the urge to draw and do artwork again.

 This is 1000th post on this blog. What a long way to go since it was first started in 2007. What a milestone for me.

I have the urge to draw and do artwork again.

A Joke for Today. “The Doctor Didn’t Want to Miss It!”

 A Joke for Today.  “The Doctor Didn’t Want to Miss It!”

A woman, a mother that is, takes her 16-year-old daughter to the doctor.  The doctor asks the mother, “Okay, Mrs. James, what is the problem?”

The mother says, “It is my daughter Darla.  She keeps getting these cravings.  And she is putting weight on too.  And she is sick most morning.”

The doctor gives Darla a very ‘good’ examination, like a very good doctor should give a 16-year-old teenager.  Then he turns to the mother and he says, “Well, I don’t know how to tell you this, but your daughter is pregnant at about 4 months, would be my guess.”

The mother responses with, “PREGNANT! She can’t be!  She has never been left alone with a man!  Have you, Darla?”

Darla replies, “Oh no, mother! I have not even kissed a man.”

The doctor walks over to the office window and he just stares out that window for about for about 5 minutes.

Finally, the mother says, “Is there something wrong out there doctor?”

The doctor smiles as he responses with, “No.  Not really.  It is just the last time this happened, a star appeared in the east, and three wise men came over the hill bringing gifts to the child after he was born.”

And I’ll be damn if I am going to miss it this time!”

A Joke for Today. “Sleepy Preaching versus Scaring People to Pray.”

 A Joke for Today.  “Sleepy Preaching versus Scaring People to Pray.”

A mouthy preacher and a hard-working taxer driver arrived at the Pearly Gates of Heaven at the exact same time, looking at each other strangely.

An angel appeared at those gates and he handed the taxi driver a beautiful golden robe and gave the preacher a plain cotton colored green one, a rather dull robe indeed.

The preacher was clearly offended and he said the angel, “There must be some mistake?  I preached the word of God for forty years, and he simply drove a taxi.”

The angel smiled at him and he said, “There is no mistake here.”

The preacher frowned at the situation and he asked the angel, “What does that mean?”

The angel replied clearly to the preacher, “Whenever you preached to the people, the people fell asleep.”

Whenever he drove his taxi, everybody in the car started praying.”

A Joke for Today. “Close Enough!”

 A Joke for Today.  “Close Enough!”

A married man went to confession, and he said to the priest, “I almost had an affair with another married woman.”

The priest said, “What do you mean, almost?”

The man replied, “Well, we got naked, and rubbed our bodies together, but then we stopped.”

The priest said, “Rubbing together is the same as putting it in.  You are never to see that woman ever again.  For your penance, say five Hail Mary’s and put $50 in the donation box.”

The man left the confessional box, and said his prayers, and then he walked over to the the donation box.

He paused for a second and then he started to leave.

The priest quickly ran over to him and he yelled out, “I saw that.  You didn’t put any money in the donation box.”

The man replied, “Yeah, but I rubbed the $50 on the donation box, and according to you, that is the same as putting it in.”

A Joke for Today. “A Drunk Sees Flaming Lights.”

 A Joke for Today. “A Drunk Sees Flaming Lights.”

A Virginia State trooper pulled over a car on I-64 about 2 miles south of the Virginia/West Virginia State line-border.

When the trooper asked the driver why he was speeding, the driver said he was a Magician and Juggler, and that he was on his way to Beckley, WV. to do a show at the Shrine Circus. He didn’t want to be late, which he seemed to be anyway.

The trooper told the driver he was fascinated by juggling and he also said if the driver would do a few juggling tricks for him, then he wouldn’t give him a ticket.

The Juggler told the trooper he had sent his juggling equipment ahead and he didn’t have anything to juggle.

So, the trooper said he had some flares in the trunk, and he asked the juggler if he could juggle them, as they were lit up on fire.

The juggler replied that he could juggle anything at all within reason.  So, the trooper got 5 flares out of his patrol car trunk, and then he lit them up to start a bright flaming glare.  He then handed them to the juggler.

While the juggler was juggling the bright lit up flares, a car pulled behind the patrol car and stopped.  A drunken good old boy from West Virginia got out of his car.  He watched the performance very briefly, and then he slowly walked over to the patrol car, he opened the rear door and enter the patrol car.

The trooper observed him, and he walked over to his patrol car, he opened the door, and he asked the drunk what he thought he was doing.

The drunk yelled out the door, “You might as well take my ass to jail, because there is no way in hell, or on earth I can pass that test!”
