Edney and Cole, two Ohio Edison electrical repairmen, were working on a blown house circuit. “Hey, Cole!” said Edney. “See those two wires?

” “Sure,” Cole answered. “Now just grab one of them.” Cole grabbed one of the wires. “Feel anything?

” asked his partner. “Not a thing,” answered Cole. “Good!” said Edney. “Don’t touch the other one or you’ll drop dead!”

Easter is approaching. Father O’Maley checks estimates for the flowerdecoration of the altar.The catholic florist – $ 300. “Too expensive” moans the priest.The protestant florist – $ 250, “No, it would not be right to buy atanother Christian believer, especially as the price difference is rather small.” But lo! Solly Goldberg – $ 75!!!Religion or economics?

After much consideration, Solly obtains thecontract.On Easter Sunday morning, Goldberg’s men deliver the flowers: wonderfulroses, azaleas, camellias, tulips and carnations. O’Maley’s last reservations are discarded.When the parishioners arrive in the church, they see the magnificentflower arrangement and a ribbon with the inscription:”Jesus has risen! But the prices of Goldberg always stay the same.”

Early Texas governors were not very well educated. There was once a chief executive who thought “grammar” was his father’s mother. On one occasion this governor went hunting and forgot his gun. He phoned his secretary and asked him to send the gun.”The phone connection’s bad,” said the secretary. “I couldn’t catch that last word. Spell it.” The governor replied, ” ‘G’ like in Jesus; ‘U’ like in onion; ‘N’ like in pneumonia GUN, you damn fool!”

During the wedding rehearsal, the groom approached the vicar with an unusual offer. “Look, I’ll give you $100 if you’ll change the wedding vows. When you get to me and the part where I’m to promise to ‘love, honor and obey’ and ‘forsaking all others, be faithful to her forever,’ I’d appreciate it if you’d just leave that part out.” He passed the clergyman the cash and walked away satisfied. The wedding day arrives, and the bride and groom have moved to that part of the ceremony where the vows are exchanged. When it comes time for the groom’s vows, the vicar looks the young man in the eye and says, “Will you promise to prostrate yourself before her, obey her every command and wish, serve her breakfast in bed every morning of your life and swear eternally before God and your lovely wife that you will not ever even look at another woman, as long as you both shall live?

” Th e groom gulped and looked around, and said in a tiny voice, “Yes.” The groom leaned toward the vicar and hissed, “I thought we had a deal.” The vicar put the $100 into his hand and whispered back, “She made me a much better offer.”
