Willy: “Mom, are our neighbors very poor people?”
Mother: “I don’t think so, Willy. Why do you ask?”
Willy: “Because they made such a fuss when their baby swallowed a coin.”
A big, burly man knocked on the door of the pastor’s house one day
and asked to see the minister’s wife, a woman known for her charity work and her love for the poor and helpless.
The woman opened the door and saw the man had tears streaming down his face.
“Oh, whatever is the matter?” she cried out.
“I come to you today, dear woman, for the purposes of doing charity and good work,” said the man in a hopeless voice.
“Come in, come in!” The woman admitted him inside and they sat in her living room.
“Madam,” said the man in a broken voice, “I wish to draw your attention to the terrible plight of a poor family in this district. The father is dead, the mother is too ill to work, and the nine children are starving. They are about to be turned into the cold, empty streets unless someone pays their rent, which amounts to $400.”
“How terrible!” exclaimed the preacher’s wife. “May I ask who you are?”
The sympathetic visitor applied his handkerchief to his eyes.
“I’m the landlord,” he sobbed.
Everyone in the wedding ceremony was watching the radiant bride as her father escorted her down the aisle.
As they reached the stage, the bride placed something in his hand.
Everyone in the room was wondering what was given by the bride to her father.
The father could feel suspense in the air and all eyes were on him to divulge the secret and say something.
So he announced, ‘Ladies and Gentlemen, today is the luckiest day of my life!’
Then he raised his hands with what his daughter gave him and continued, ‘My daughter finally, finally returned my credit card to me.’
The whole audience started laughing….
But not the poor groom.
Two neighbors are talking to each other.
First neighbor: Do you know that my dog is so smart, he waits for the newspaper to drop at the doorstep and then delivers it to me?
Second neighbor: Of course, I know that very well.
First neighbor: Really, well then, how?
Second neighbor: My dog came and told me.
