Goodnight everyone, sleep well.

A Preacher finished the service one morning by saying, ‘Next
Sunday, I am going to preach on the subject of liars.

As a preparation for my sermon, I would like you all to read
Mark Chapter 17.’

On the following Sunday, the Preacher rose to begin.
Looking out at the congregation he said, ‘Last week I asked
you all to read Mark Chapter 17.

If you have read the chapter, please raise your hand.’

Nearly every hand in the congregation went up. Smiling,
the preacher said, ‘You are the very people I want to talk
to today…….
…. Mark has only 16 chapters.”

A friend, who worked away from home all week, always made a morning available when he would take his 7-year old granddaughter for a drive in the car for some bonding time — just him and his granddaughter.

One particular Sunday however, he had a bad cold and just wanted to stay in bed. Luckily, his wife came to the rescue and said that she would take their granddaughter out in the car.

When they returned, the little girl anxiously ran upstairs to see how her Grandad was.

‘Well, did you enjoy your ride with Nanny?’

‘It was great, Grandad’ the girl replied, ‘and do you know what? We didn’t see a single tosser, blind bastard, dick-head or wanker anywhere today!’

Almost brings a tear to your eye, doesn’t it?

The difference between a misfortune and a calamity is this: If Gladstone fell into the Thames, it would be a misfortune. But if someone dragged him out again, that would be a calamity.
