Inspiration

I work for a radio and television station owned by a Catholic university. We were quite surprised to get a complaint about our traffic reporter being "anti-Catholic."

At first we didn't have a clue as to what the listener meant until we realized our reporter's on-air pseudonym is "Skip Church."

 "I walk down memory lane because I love running into you."

The little church in the suburbs suddenly stopped buying from its regular office supply dealer. So, the dealer telephoned Deacon Brown to ask why.

"I'll tell you why," said Deacon Brown. "Our church ordered some pencils from you to be used in the pews for visitors to register."

"Well," interrupted the dealer, "didn't you receive them yet?"

"Oh, we received them all right," replied Deacon Brown.

"However, you sent us some golf pencils...each stamped with the words, 'Play Golf Next Sunday'."

Apologies to all for this obnoxious illustration. If you can stick it out to the end, you will be vindicated.

Praise God, everyone! Welcome to our annual membership re-commitment committee. Think of this as a tune-up for the soul. We're going to run a diagnostic on your spiritual life to make sure you're still committed.

My name?

Call me God's Enforcer. And no, there are no other committee members. Yes, it was sad to watch them go but, alas, they wouldn't measure up to The Standard.

Huh? Well, I set The Standard. That's my job.

Shall we begin?
