So if a cow doesn't produce milk, is it a milk dud or an udder failure?

A recent bride called her mother one evening in tears. "Oh, Mom, I tried to make Grandmother's meat loaf for dinner tonight, and it's just awful! I followed the recipe exactly, and I know I have the recipe right because it's the one you gave me. But it just didn't come out right, and I'm so upset. I wanted this to be so special for George because he loves meat loaf. What could have gone wrong?"

Her mother replied soothingly, "Well, dear, let's go through the recipe. You read it out loud and tell me exactly what you did at each step, and together we'll figure it out."

"OK," the bride sniffled. "Well, it starts out, 'Take fifty cents worth of ground beef' ..."

A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood. Trying to make the matter clearer, she said, "Now, class, if I stood on my head, the blood, as you know, would run into it, and I would turn red in the face."

"Yes," the class said.

"Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary position the blood doesn't run into my feet?"

A little fellow shouted, "Cause your feet ain't empty."

A young man walked into our insurance office to purchase coverage for his new motorcycle.

We asked one of the standard questions, "Do you have a lien holder on the vehicle?"

"Yes, it has a kickstand."

"One thing I have learned from marriage is that my wife and I excel at misunderstanding. Clearly there is only one way to understand what I just said, right? I mean, what other way could there possibly be?"

How to Get Rid of Your Preacher:

- Look him straight in the eye and say 'Amen' once in a while. He'll preach himself to death within a few weeks.

- Pat him on the back and brag on his good points. He'll work himself to death.

- Start paying him a living wage. He's probably been on starvation wages for so long he'll eat himself to death.

- Rededicate your own life and ask the preacher to give you a job to do. He'll probably die of heart failure.

- Get the congregation to unite in prayer for the pastor. He'll become so effective some larger church will soon take him off your hands.

Rev. James Snyder, God's Penman, writes . . . . 

I don’t think I’ve learned very much during my life. I just bounce from day to day and take what comes.

The one thing I did learn as I look back is, for the most part, I didn’t do it my way.

Remember Frank Sinatra and his song, “I Did It My Way?” I would have liked to ask him, how’s that been working for you?

Whenever we do everything our way, there is a consequence.

You know what they say that for every action, there is a consequence. By the time the consequence hits you in the face, it’s too late to make any changes.

When I ever did something “my way,” it never really worked out.
