> As luck would have it, I dropped my spoon and he

> I was impressed. I also noticed that there was a

> "Oh, certainly!" Then he lowered his voice. "Not

> "Well," he whispered, "I don't know about the

dot-matrix:
There was a little old lady, who every morning, stepped onto
her front porch, raised her arms to the sky, and shouted,
"PRAISE THE LORD."
One day an atheist moved into the house next-door. He
became irritated at the little old lady.
Every morning he'd step onto his front porch after her and
yell, "THERE IS NO LORD."
Time passed with the two of them carrying on this way every
day.
One morning, in the middle of winter, the little old lady stepped
onto her front porch and shouted, "PRAISE THE LORD !!
Please Lord, I have no food and I am starving, provide for me,
oh Lord."
The next morning she stepped out onto her porch and there
were two huge bags of groceries sitting there.
"PRAISE THE LORD", she cried out. "HE HAS PROVIDED
GROCERIES FOR ME."
The atheist neighbor jumped out of the hedges and shouted,
"THERE IS NO LORD; I BOUGHT THOSE GROCERIES !!"
The little old lady threw her arms into the air and shouted,
"PRAISE THE LORD ! HE HAS PROVIDED ME WITH
GROCERIES -- AND MADE THE DEVIL PAY FOR THEM !"

Georgie Porgie Pudding and Pie
Kissed the girls and made them cry.
When the boys came out to play
He kissed them too cause he was gay.

Mary had a little lamb
It ran into a pylon.
10,000 volts went up its arse
And turned its wool to nylon.
