19. Stolen Painting Found by TreeCan't you just picture it? "Sargeant? There's an elm here to see you. Says he's got a stolen Renoir he found in a dumpster behind a coffee shop!"


39. Hospitals are Sued by 7 Foot Doctors

I like this one, too. "Why are those doctors suing us again? Oh, yeah. They claim our doors are too short."

Yours in Christ,

Yeah, wording something without thinking it through can have hilarious results--especially in a national publication. (Lucky for us they didn't bother proof-reading).

Please, call me Randy. :wave: Actually, so far, most of them are from the "Uncle John's" book series--which in turn, culled them from somewhere else. Fortunately however, a quick "Googling" turned up nearly all of them on a variety of websites--already typed up for me, and everything. I don't know who had the copyrights originally, but they are everywhere now. I have some more goodies I think are also funny enough to share, so I'll probably be posting them in the not-too-distant future. Glad you're enjoying them.

You're very welcome. We all need a little chuckle now and then. I like # 32. I can just picture him sheepishly saying, "I'm really sorry. I knew I shouldn't have had that bean burrito for lunch."
