Oh Lord

[Des Taff Jenkins]

There was a painter who would always thin down his paint to make it go a wee bit further.
While finishing painting a local church there was a mighty clap of thunder. The sky opened up and the rain poured down, washing the thinned down paint from the church, he knew this was judgement from the Almighty, so he fell to his knees and cried. "Oh God! forgive me. What should I do"?
And from the thunder, a mighty voice spoke. "Repaint! Repaint! and thin no more!"

"Where's Henry?" the others asked.

"Henry had a stroke o' some kind. He's a couple of miles back up the trail," the successful hunter replied.

"You left Henry layin' out there and carried the deer back?" they inquired.

"A tough call," nodded the hunter. "But I figured no one's gonna steal Henry!

North Carolina

A man in North Carolina had a flat tire, pulled off on the side of the road, and proceeded to put a bouquet of flowers in front of the car and one behind it. Then he got back in the car to wait.
