Treasury of Wit & Wisdom An automobile, to have a safe journey, can have only one driver and one steering wheel. Nevertheless, the passenger in the automobile is not of a lower status than the driver. The same applies for the leadership of a family. There can be only ONE steering wheel. Other family members may advise, but if more than one person tries to grab the wheel, a crash is sure to occur. When two ride the same horse, one must sit behind.

Entry Fee Larry died and went to heaven. Saint Peter met him at the Pearly Gates. Saint Peter told Larry: "Here's how it works. You need 100 million points to make it into heaven. You tell me all the good things you've done, and I'll give you a certain number of points for each deed, depending on how good it was. When you reach 100 million points, you get in." "Piece of cake," Larry said confidently. "I lived a very righteous life. To start with, I was married to the same woman for 50 years and never cheated on her once." "Excellent!" said Peter. "That's worth three points!" "Only three points?" Larry exclaimed. "Well, get this -- I attended church all my life. Never missed a service. If the church doors were open, I was there." "Terrific!" Peter said. "For that you get one more point." "One point?" Larry cried in dismay. "At this rate the only way I'll get into heaven is by the grace of God!" "Come on in!" said Peter. |

From the mouths of kids... After the christening of his baby brother in church, Jason sobbed all the way home in the back seat of the car. His father asked him what was wrong. Jason replied, "That preacher said he wanted us brought up
in a Christian home, but I want to stay with you and Mom." Susie raised her hand, stood tall, and quoted, "Thou shall
not take the covers off thy neighbor's wife." Seeing the opportunity for a moral lesson, Mrs. Kozinski said, "If Jesus were sitting here, He would say, 'Let my brother have the first pancake, I can wait." Kevin turned to his younger brother and said, "Ryan, you get to be Jesus!" |
