Be patient, then, brothers, until the Lord's coming.

Dear cocoa88,
I know that patience is a hard road - particularly for young folks. But, like perseverance, it pays off in the long run.  (I also realize, being the father of a teenager, that young folks do not like to be preached to - but it is best to learn your lesson, for one day you will be as old as me and have the need for a lesson to teach your teenager!)  
 

Your friend in Jesus,
JN

[Now then that, would be a sin.]

One thing you didn't point out homie. What if they are looking towards God. By banning the atheists out of this forum, they wouldn't be able to ask questions about God. Now then that, would be a sin. To denie the word of God to anyone.

And I'm movin' on up. Through the inside, oh ever so slowly.  

Oklahoma Howdy to All,

OR, I guess we could all go back to the small, elegant, and practical DOS.

I don't think some of these "kids" know of D.O.S.  although I liked version 5.0.  

A man who owned a hand-operated rotisserie (rotating spit for cooking meat) was barbecuing a chicken in his back yard when a hippie strolled by.

The hippie stood and watched for a couple of minutes and then said slowly, "Uh... I don't want to bug you man, but your music's stopped, and your monkey's on fire."

Q: Why did the monkey fall out of the tree?
A: It was dead.

Q: Why don't the monkeys in the jungle play poker any more?
A: There are just too many Cheetahs.

Why did the monkey fall out of the tree? Because he was dead!

Why did the second monkey fall out of the tree? She was stapled to the first one!

Why did the third monkey fall out of the tree? Peer Pressure!

Sock Monkey

A guy goes off to college, but about 1/3 way through the semester, he has foolishly squandered what money his parents gave him. "Hmmmm," he wonders, "how am I gonna get more cash?" Then he gets an idea. He calls his father.

"Dad," he says, "you won't believe the wonders that modern education are coming up with! They actually have a program here that teaches sock monkeys to talk!"

"Why that's absolutely amazing!" his father says. "How do I get one in that program?"

"Just send me a sock monkey with $1000," the boy says, "I'll get him into the course." So his father sends a sock monkey and the $1000. About 2/3 way through the semester, the money runs out. So the boy calls his father again.

"So how's the sock monkey doing, son?" his father asks. "Awesome, dad, he's talking up a storm," he says, "but you just won't believe this - now they have a program here that will teach a sock monkey to READ!"

"READ!" says his father, "That's amazing! What do I have to do to get him in that program?"

"Just send $2,500, I'll get him in the class." So his father sends the money. At the end of the semester, the boy has a problem. When he gets home, his father will find out that the sock monkey can't read or talk. So he shoots the sock monkey. When he gets home, his father is all excited. "Where's the sock monkey? I just can't wait to hear him talk and listen to him read something!"

"Dad," the boy says, "I have some bad news. This morning when I got out of the shower, the sock monkey was in the living room kicking back in the recliner and reading the Tribune, like he usually does. Then he turned to me and asked 'So, is your father still messin' around with that blonde that lives over on Lake Shore Drive?' "

His father says "I hope you SHOT that lyin' sack of trash!"

Monkey and the Cap Seller

Once upon a time, there lived a poor cap seller in a small village.  He earned his livelihood stiching caps and selling them in the neighboring villages. Once when going to another village through a forest, he fell asleep under a tree. When he woke up, he was surprised to find his basket empty and all the caps missing. Then he noticed a troop of monkeys sitting in the tree wearing his caps. He came up with a brilliant idea to retrieve his caps. He lifted the cap on his head and threw it to the ground. Out of their apeing habits the monkeys followed suit. The cap seller, then collected all the caps and triumphantly proceeded to the market.

As the years pass by, the cap seller has a grandson who too ends up being a cap seller. One day he has to pass through the same forest to sell caps in the village on the other side. As he is leaving, his grandpa tells him of the monkeys and how he outsmarted them and warns the grandson to be careful in the forest and remember his grandpa's trick if the monkeys cause any trouble.

So the grandson sets forth on his journey. While passing through the forest, he gets tired and falls asleep to wake up and find the basket empty and all the caps gone. Then he notices the monkeys on the tree wearing the caps. Smiling to himself he says, "Aha ! I know how to deal with this. I'll use my grandpa's trick ! So he hurls his cap to the ground expecting the monkeys to do the same. All this time, there is a young capless monkey sitting in the tree. This monkey jumps down from the tree, quickly picks up the grandson's cap and puts it on his head. Then as he is scampering away, he says to the grandson sarcastically "HA, HA ! SO, DID YOU THINK THAT ONLY YOU HUMANS HAVE A GRANDPA ??" :-)

Good Looking Beer
A man walks into a bar and orders one beer.

Then he looks into his shirt pocket and orders another beer.

After he finishes, he looks into his shirt pocket again and orders another beer.

The bartender is curious and askes him "every time you order a beer, you look in your shirt pocket. Why?"

The man replies, "I have a picture of my wife in my pocket and when she starts to look ugly, I go home."

Duh Bar Bet
Two guys were in a bar, and they were both watching the television when the news came on.

It showed a guy on a bridge who was about to jump, obviously suicidal. "I'll bet you $10 he'll jump," said the first guy. "Bet you $10 he won't," said the second guy. "Your on!", he says.

Then, the guy on the television closed his eyes and threw himself off the bridge.

The second guy hands the first guy the money. "I can't take your money," said the first guy. "I cheated you. The same story was on the five o'clock news."

"No, no. Take it," said the second guy. "I saw the five o'clock news too. I just didn't think the guy was dumb enough to jump again!"

My name is DUH WISE MONKEY.

Monkey Bar
A guy walks into a bar with his pet monkey.

He orders a drink and while he's drinking, the monkey starts jumping all over the place. The monkey grabs some olives off the bar and eats them, then grabs some sliced limes and eats them, then jumps up on the pool table, grabs the cue ball, sticks it in his mouth and swallows it whole.

The bartender screams at the guy, "Did you see what your monkey just did?" The guy says, "No, what?" "He just ate the cue ball off my pool table - whole!" says the bartender.

"Yeah, that doesn't surprise me," replies the patron. "He eats everything in sight, the little jerk. I'll pay for the cue ball and stuff." He finishes his drink, pays his bill, and leaves.

Two weeks later he's in the bar again, and he has his monkey with him. He orders a drink and the monkey starts running around the bar again. While the man is drinking, the monkey finds a maraschino cherry on the bar. He grabs it, sticks it up his nose, pulls it out, and eats it.

The bartender is disgusted. "Did you see what your monkey did now?" "Now what?" asks the patron. "Well, he stuck a maraschino cherry up his nose, then pulled it out and ate it!" says the barkeeper. "Yeah, that doesn't surprise me," replies the patron.

"He still eats everything in sight, but ever since he ate that cue ball he measures everything first!"

I know a few more Groaners.

Moron Joke :

A moron walks up to a Coke machine and puts in a coin. Out pops a coke. The moron looks amazed and runs away to get some more coins. He returns and starts feeding the machine madly and of course the machine keeps feeding out drinks. A woman walks up behind the moron and watches his antics for a few minutes before stopping and and asking if someone else could have a go. The moron spins around and shouts in her face: "Can't you see I'm winning."
