God is missing

The harbormaster was having troubles with his two young boys, so he decided to send them to Rev. Hawkins for some help.

The next morning Billy, aged 8, was sent. Upon arriving, the Rev. sat him down and sternly asked, “Where is God ?”

Billy sat there speechless, so the Rev asked louder, “Where is God ?”

Again no answer came from Billy, so the Rev. shook his finger in Billy’s
face and screamed, “WHERE IS GOD ?”

Billy screamed and bolted from the room, ran right home and dove into his closet, shutting the door behind him.

His older brother Joe watched this, slowly opened the door and asked,
“What happened to you ?”

Billy yelled, “We’re in big trouble this time, dude. God is missing and
they think WE did it. “

He is a very smart dog

Went to the cinema the other day and in the front row was an old man and with
him was his dog. It was a sad funny kind of film, you know the type. In the sad
part, the dog cried his eyes out, and in the funny part, the dog laughed its
head off. This happened all the way through the film. After the film had ended,
I decided to go and speak to the man.

“That’s the most amazing thing I’ve seen,” I said. “That dog really seemed to
enjoy the film.”

The man turned to me and said, “Yeah, it is. He hated the book.”

Prepared Baptismal

Before performing a baptism, the priest approached the young father and said solemnly, ‘Baptism is a serious step. Are you prepared for it?”I think so,’ the man replied. ‘My wife has made appetizers and we have a caterer coming to provide plenty of cookies and cakes for all of our guests.”I don’t mean that,’ the priest responded. ‘I mean, are you prepared spiritually?”Oh, sure,’ came the reply. ‘I’ve got a keg of beer and a case of whiskey.’
