NASCAR Samaritans
2008-03-10 09:55:00 There were three NASCAR fans on their way to a race, when they see an accident on the side of the road so they pull over! They go to help the victim, but they realize she is naked, so they take off their hats. The first guy was a Earnhardt fan, and put his hat over her left breast. The second guy was a Elliot fan, and put it over her right breast!! The last guy was a Gordon fan, and put his hat over her crotch. When the police arrived, the officer looks at the girl and goes to evaluate. He first picks up the Earnhardt hat, puts it back down and writes something down. He does the same with the Elliot hat. Then he picks up the Gordon hat and puts it down then picks it up again. He does this several times until the Gordon fan says, ?What are you? Some kind of pervert?? The officer replies, ?No, I just usually find an asshole under one of these hats.?

Of Samaritans and Timidity
2007-07-22 02:19:00 Right, I promised the other day that I would post a summary of what I preached about at church on Sunday and I have tarried long enough. I was supposed to be looking at the Parable of the Good Samaritan, so I started off with a corny joke:A man was beaten up by robbers on a road to London. He lay there, half dead and in bad shape. A Vicar came along, saw him and passed by on the other side. Next, a monk came by but also walked quickly on the other side. Finally, a social worker came along, looked at the man and said "Whoever did this needs help!"Yes will it is clear to see that if I keep churning out cheesy one liners like that, I'll be on a very slippery slope... it won't be long before they put me in a straitjacket and cart me off to a building with padded walls - theology college!Now you'd think I'd stick with tradition and focus on the hero... the good old Samaritan. Now I did look at the irony of why the Samaritan of all people, should be chosen by Jesus as a paragon of nei...
