Money

A well-worn one-dollar bill and a similarly distressed twenty -dollar bill arrived at a Federal Reserve Bank to be retired. As they moved along the conveyor belt to be burned, they struck up a conversation.
The twenty-dollar bill reminisced about its travels all over the country. "I've had a pretty good life," the twenty proclaimed. Why? Because I've been to Las Vegas and Atlantic City , the finest restaurants in New York , performances on Broadway, and even a cruise to the Caribbean.."
"Wow!" said the one-dollar bill. "You've really had an exciting life!"
"So tell me," says the twenty, "where have you been throughout your lifetime?"
The one dollar bill replies, "Oh, I've been to the Methodist Church , the Baptist Church , the Lutheran Church ."
The twenty-dollar bill interrupts, "What's a church?"

Pastor's mother

An elderly woman walked into the local country church. The friendly usher greeted her at the door and helped her up the flight of steps, "Where would you like to sit?" he asked politely.
"The front row please," she answered.
"You really don't want to do that," the usher said "The pastor is really boring."
"Do you happen to know who I am?" the woman inquired..
"No." he said..
"I'm the pastor's mother," she replied indignantly.

A Judge's Dilemma

In a small town, a man decided to open up a night club which was right opposite to a small church. The members of the church with thier pastor started a campaign to protest the opening the night club. However, a few days later, a lightning struck the club and it was burnt to the ground. The church's people were rather relief but the owner sued the church on the grounds that it was through their prayers responsible for lighting which destroyed his club.

In its reply to the court, the church strongly denied all responsibility or any connection that their prayers were reasons for the act of God. As the case made its way into court, the judge looked over the paperwork at the hearing and commented: "I don't know how I'm going to decide this case, but it appears from the paperwork, we have a night club owner who believes in the power of prayer and we have an entire church that doesn't."
