As a little girl climbed onto Santa's lap, Santa asked the usual question,

"And what would you like for Christmas?"

The child stared at him open mouthed and horrified for a minute, then gasped:

"Didn't you get my email?"

The Season of Advent was beginning, and I wanted to inform the children that, according the Bible, Jesus is coming twice, once as the baby in the manger, and then as King.

So I asked the children, "How did Jesus come the first time?"

One child answered, "Down the chimney."

"Every time we use religion to draw a line to keep people out, Jesus is with the people on the other side of that line."

Today on the way to work, I thought I saw a headline that read "Beer Recall."

It actually read "Beef Recall."

The story explained the discovery of mad cow disease in the United States. Mad cow disease is a condition that causes wasting away of the brain, leading to dementia, loss of coordination, and death.

Now, will somebody please explain to me why they're not recalling beer?
