Automation
A man put his fifty cents in a vending machine and then watched helplessly as the cup failed to appear — a nozzle sent coffee down the drain while another poured cream after it.
“Now that’s automation!” he exclaimed. “It even drinks for you!”
Nouns
7-year-old Bethany was placing nouns under the correct heading in class. All the words were from a list.
The teacher came over and looked at her lists. There where five: Persons, Places, Things, Ideas, and … Other?
The teacher asked Bethany, “Why are there five lists?”
Bethany answered, “Because my brother didn’t fit any of the categories.”
Misquote
A friend of mine attended a Christian college where the tradition was to deliver a box of notes nightly from the men’s’ dorm to the women’s dorm and vice versa.
My friend would write his fiance a note every night and close it with an inspirational Scripture reference.
One night, he meant to write the reference II Corinthians 5:1, which says:
“Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.”
Unfortunately, he referenced I Corinthians 5:1, which says:
“It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that does not occur even among pagans…”
