A couple was arranging for their wedding, and asked the bakery to inscribe the wedding cake with "1 John 4:18" which reads "There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear."

The bakery evidently lost, smudged or otherwise misread the noted reference, and beautifully inscribed on the cake "John 4:18":

"For you have had five husbands, and the man you have now is not your husband."

As a nightclub owner, I hired a pianist and a drummer to entertain my customers.

After several performances, I discovered that the drummer had walked away with some of my valuables. I notified the police and he was arrested.

Desperate for another drummer, I called a friend who knew some musicians.

"What happened to the drummer you had?" he asked me.

"I had him arrested," I replied.

We said good-bye and hung up.

A few minutes later my friend called back and asked, "How badly did he play?"
