Here's a great one about simple misunderstanding- and "deflection!"
A preacher said to a farmer, "Do you belong to the Christian family?" "No," said he, "they live two farms down." "No, no, I mean are you lost?" "No, I've been here 30 years." "I mean are you ready for Judgment Day?" "When is it?" "It could be today or tomorrow." "Well, when you find out for sure when it is, you let me know. My wife will probably want to go both days!"
- from O' For the Life of A Preacher!, Rev. Leon Hill, Baxter Lane Company, 1975, p.34.
I'll probably post some more gems from this book when they seem to fit the day!
Since I wrote this, I found some very racist items in this joke book! Should I burn it?
