Another Look at the Rocks A rabbi, a priest and a pastor were all in a boat together fishing. The pastor said to the others, "I think I am going to go over to that shore and sit down." So, he gets out of the boat, walks across the water and sits down on the shore. Then, the priest says to the rabbi, "I think I going to go over there to join him." So, he does the same as the pastor and sits next to him on the shore. The rabbi thinks to himself, "Well, if they can do it, so can I!" So, he climbs out of the boat, but he falls in the water. The priest says to the pastor, "Do you think we should have told him where the rocks are?" The pastor then asks the priest, "What rocks?"
Oops A minister would up the services one morning by saying, "next Sunday I am going to preach on the subject of liars. And in this connection, as a preparation for my discourse, I would like you all to read the seventeenth chapter of Mark." On the following Sunday, the preacher rose to begin, and said, "Now, then, all of you who have done as I requested and read the seventeenth chapter of Mark, please raise your hands." Nearly every hand in the congregation went up. Then said the preacher, "You are the people I want to talk to. There is no seventeenth chapter of Mark."
Denominations A man from Tennessee says: I was walking down the road this morning when I saw a man just about to jump off the bridge. "Stop!" I cried, "Don't do it! You've got too much to live for." "Like what?" said my despondent friend. "Well," I asked, "are you religious, or an atheist?" "Oh, I'm religious all right" he replied. "Well, are you a Christian, or a Buddhist, or what?" I asked. "Oh, I'm a Christian." "Well, so am I" I said. "Are you Catholic or Protestant?" "I'm a Protestant" he answered. "Me too!" I exclaimed. "Baptist or Episcopalian?" "Baptist." "I'm a Baptist too." I said. "Are you Church of God Baptist, or Church of the Lord Baptist?" "Church of God Baptist" he said. "Wow!" said I, "What a coincidence! So am I! Say, you wouldn't happen to be a Reform Church of God Baptist, would you?" "Sure am" he replied. "Me too!" I exclaimed. "Reform of 1879, or Reform of 1915?" "1915" he said, to which I replied, "Jump, you heretic scum!".
