A
little boy opened the big family bible. He was fascinated as he
fingered through the old pages. Suddenly, something fell out of
the Bible. He picked up the object and looked at it. What he saw
was an old leaf that had been pressed in between the pages. "Mama,
look what I found," the boy called out. "What have you got there,
dear?" With astonishment in the young boy's voice, he answered,
"I think it's Adam's underwear."

While
walking along the sidewalk in front of his church, our minister
heard the intoning of a prayer that nearly made his collar wilt.
Apparently, his 5-year-old son and his playmates had found a dead
robin. Feeling that proper burial should be performed, they had
secured a small box and cotton batting, then dug a hole and made
ready for the disposal of the deceased. The minister's son was chosen
to say the appropriate prayers and with sonorous dignity intoned
his version of what he thought his father always said: "Glory be
unto the Faaather, and unto the Sonnn, and into the hole he goooes."

UNDERSTANDING
WOMEN
(A MAN'S PERSPECTIVE)
I know I'm not going to understand women. I'll never understand
how you can take boiling hot wax, pour it onto your upper thigh,
rip the hair out by the root, and still be afraid of a spider.

A
man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving
each other the silent treatment.
Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, He would need his
wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight.
Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he
wrote on a piece of paper, "Please wake me at 5:00 AM " He left
it where he knew she would find it.
The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00
AM and he had missed his flight.
Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened
him, when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed. The paper said,
"It is 5:00 AM. Wake up."
Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests.

By
the time a man realises that maybe his father was right, he usually
has a son who thinks he's wrong.

You
knew my father as governor, as president, but I knew him as Dad.
I want to tell you a little bit about my dad - a little bit about
Cameron and Ashley's grandfather, because not a whole lot is ever
spoken about that side of Ronald Reagan.
