Amusing Quotes & Jokes

Post by Trent DeWhite »

Funny quotes! Anything from the past, present, or something you made up . . . sometimes the best things can come from a younger child or sibling. They say some of the funniest things at times. :D Perhaps you'd like to share an amusing quote from an anyonymous author, like some of the following:

"An army of sheep led by a lion will defeat an army of lions led by a sheep."

"History repeats itself because nobody listens."

Famous people quotes:

"In the real world, the right thing never happens in the right place and the right time. It is the job of journalists and historians to make it appear that it has." --Mark Twain

"It is better to remain silent and be considered a fool than to speak and remove all doubt." --Abraham Lincoln (see Ecclesiastes 10:3)

Winston Churchill was at a party, and was a little soused. A woman came up to him and said "Sir, you are drunk. You are very very drunk." To which he replied "Madam, you are ugly. You are very very ugly, and in the morning, I shall be sober".

Ok, that's not very nice, but I still thought it was funny.

Interesting, Jonathan. :-s

The following are a few student bloopers caught by their teachers. Hehe.

"Moses led the Hebrew slaves to the Red Sea, where they made unleavened bread which is bread made without any ingredients. Moses went up on Mount Cyanide to get the ten commandments. He died before he ever reached Canada."

"Solomom had three hundred wives and seven hundred porcupines."

"The Greeks were a highly sculptured people, and without them we wouldn't have history. The Greeks also had myths. A myth is a female
moth."

"Socrates was a famous Greek teacher who went around giving people advice. They killed him. Socrates died from an overdose of wedlock. After his death, his career suffered a dramatic decline."

"In the Olympic games, Greeks ran races, jumped, hurled the biscuits, and threw the java."

"Eventually, the Romans conquered the Greeks. History calls people Romans because they never stayed in one place for very long."

"Nero was a cruel tyranny who would torture his subjects by playing the fiddle to them."

"Joan of Arc was burnt to a steak and was cannonized by Bernard Shaw."

"My feet itch."
Not an impressive statement by itself but this one has been passed down through the generations ever since my brother said it to my mom as an excuse for why he couldn't pick up his toys when she told him to. =D>

An old wealthy man was on his deathbed. He knew his time had come, and pleaded with the Lord "Lord, I know I cannot bring anything with me, but I ask to just bring my money". The Lord replied "You are right, you can't bring that with you." The man made several more pleas with God, with the same response. Finally, the man asked "Lord, just one bag of gold, I beg you." There was a pause, after which God replied "Ok, just one bag of gold." The old man then died. When he got to the pearly gates, St. Peter was surprised when he saw the man with his bag. He took the bag, looked inside, then looked up and asked

"Lord, why did he bring pavement?"

That's awesome, Jon. :D

Here's one I heard from a pastor once:

There once was an Illinois man who left the snow-filled streets of Chicago for a vacation in Florida. His wife was on a business trip and was planning to meet him there the next day. When he reached his hotel, he decided to send his wife a quick e-mail. Unable to find the scrap of paper on which he had written her e-mail address, he did his best to type it in from memory. Unfortunately, he missed one letter, and his note was directed instead to an elderly preacher's wife, whose husband had passed away only the day before. When the grieving widow checked her e-mail, she took one look at the monitor, let out a piercing scream, and fainted to the floor. At the sound, her family rushed into the room and saw this note on the screen:

"Dearest Wife,
Just got checked in. Everything prepared for your arrival tomorrow.
Signed,
Your eternally loving husband.
P.S. Sure is hot down here."

:lol: Haha, these are some good ones!

A doctor and a lawyer were talking at a party. Their conversation was constantly interrupted by people describing their ailments and asking the doctor for free medical advice.
After an hour of this, the exasperated doctor asked the lawyer, "What do you do to stop people from asking you for legal advice when you're out of the office?"
"I give it to them," replied the lawyer, "and then I send them a bill."
The doctor was shocked, but agreed to give it a try. The next day, still feeling slightly guilty, the doctor prepared the bills. When he went to place them in his mailbox, he found a bill from the lawyer.

:lol: Those are cute.

I love this one about the life of a sailor... I don't get all of them but some others are just too funny. :D

How to live like a sailor
~ Buy a steel dumpster, paint it gray inside and out, and live in it for six months.
~ Run all the pipes and wires in your house exposed on the walls.
~ Repaint your entire house every month.
~ Renovate your bathroom. Build a wall across the middle of the bathtub and move the showerhead to chest level. When you take showers, make sure you turn off the water while you soap down.
~ Raise the thresholds and lower the headers of your front and back doors so that you either trip or bang your head every time you pass through them.
~ Disassemble and inspect your lawnmower every week.
~ On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, turn your water heater temperature up to 200 degrees. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, turn the water heater off. On Saturdays and Sundays tell your family they use too much water during the week, so no bathing will be allowed.
~ Raise your bed to within 6 inches of the ceiling, so you can't turn over without getting out and then getting back in.
~ Sleep on the shelf in your closet. Replace the closet door with a curtain. Have your spouse whip open the curtain about 3 hours after you go to sleep, shine a flashlight in your eyes, and say "Sorry, wrong rack."
~ Make your family qualify to operate each appliance in your house - dishwasher operator, blender technician, etc.
~ Have your neighbor come over each day at 5 am, blow a whistle loudly, and shout "Reveille, reveille, all hands heave out and trice up."
~ Have your mother-in-law write down everything she's going to do the following day, then have her make you stand in your back yard at 6 am while she reads it to you.
~ Submit a request chit to your father-in-law requesting permission to leave your house before 3 pm.
~ Empty all the garbage bins in your house and sweep the driveway three times a day, whether it needs it or not.
~ Have your neighbor collect all your mail for a month, read your magazines, and randomly lose every 5th item before delivering it to you.
~ Make your family menu a week ahead of time without consulting the pantry or refrigerator.
~ Post a menu on the kitchen door informing your family that they are having steak for dinner. Then make them wait in line for an hour. When they finally get to the kitchen, tell them you are out of steak, but they can have dried ham or hot dogs. Repeat daily until they ignore the menu and just ask for hot dogs.
~ Bake a cake. Prop up one side of the pan so the cake bakes unevenly. Spread icing real thick to level it off.
~ Get up every night around midnight and have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on stale bread. (midrats)
~ Set your alarm clock to go off at random times during the night. At the alarm, jump up and dress as fast as you can, making sure to button your top shirt button and tuck your pants into your socks. Run out into the backyard and uncoil the garden hose.
~ Every week or so, throw your dog in the pool and shout, "Man overboard port side!" Rate your family members on how fast they respond.
~ Put the headphones from your stereo on your head, but don't plug them in. Hang a paper cup around your neck on a string. Stand in front of the stove, and speak into the paper cup "Stove manned and ready." After an hour or so, speak into the cup again "Stove secured." Roll up the headphones and paper cup and stow them in a shoebox.
~ Place a podium at the end of your driveway. Have your family stand watches at the podium, rotating at 4 hour intervals. This is best done when the weather is worst. January is a good time.
~ When there is a thunderstorm in your area, get a wobbly rocking chair, sit in it and rock as hard as you can until you become nauseous. Make sure to have a supply of stale crackers in your shirt pocket.
~ Make coffee using eighteen scoops of budget priced coffee grounds per pot, and allow the pot to simmer for 5 hours before drinking.
~ Have someone under the age of ten give you a haircut with sheep shears.
~ Sew the back pockets of your jeans on the front.
~ Lock yourself and your family in the house for six weeks. Tell them that at the end of the 6th week you are going to take them to Disney World for "liberty." At the end of the 6th week, inform them the trip to Disney World has been canceled because they need to get ready for an inspection, and it will be another week before they can leave the house.

I do the church bulletin for my church, and there always has to be some humor in them, church isn't borning!

Here we go:

A Sunday school teacher asked her little children, as they were on the way to church service, "And why is it necessary to be quiet in church?"

One bright little girl replied, "Because people are sleeping."


_____________________________

I never used this one though...

Christian Pick-up Lines

1 ) Nice bible.

2 ) I would like to pray with you.

3 ) You know Jesus? Me too.

4 ) God told me to come talk to you.

5 ) I know a church where we could go and talk.

6 ) How about a hug, sister?

7 ) Do you need help carrying your bible? It looks heavy.

8 ) Christians don't shake hands, Christians gotta hug.

10 ) Did it hurt when you fell from Heaven?

11 ) What are your plans for tonight? Feel like a bible study?

12 ) I am here for you.

13 ) The word says "Give drink to those who are thirsty, and feed the hungry," how about dinner?

14 ) You don't have an accountability partner? Me neither.

15 ) Do you want to come over and watch the Ten Commandments tonight?

16 ) Is it a sin that you stole my heart?

17 ) Would you happen to know a Christian woman (man) that I could love with all my heart and wait on hand and foot?

18 ) Nice bracelet. What would Jesus date? I mean "do."

19 ) Do you believe in Divine appointment?

20 ) Excuse me, I believe one of your ribs belongs to me.

21 ) My friend told me to come and meet you, he said that you are a really nice person. I think you know him. Jesus, yeah, that's his name.

22 ) You know they say that you have never really dated, until you have dated a Christian.

23 ) Yeah I predicted David over Goliath.


_____________________________________

This one is WONDERFUL!

A minister told his congregation, "Next week I plan to preach about the sin
of lying. To help you understand my sermon, I want you all to read Mark 17."

The following Sunday, as he prepared to deliver his sermon, the minister
asked for a show of hands. He wanted to know how many had read Mark 17.
Every hand went up.

The minister smiled and said, "Mark has only sixteen chapters. I will now
proceed with my sermon on the sin of lying."
