The Man Who Lost His Hat

Walking home with a hangover one Sunday morning, a man
discovered he’d lost his hat. He decided the easiest way to
replace it was to go to church and steal one from the cloakroom.

Once inside, he heard a sermon on the Ten Commandments. After
the sermon, he said to the minister, “I want you to know that
you saved me from crime. I came here to steal a hat, but after
hearing you, I decided not to.”

“Wonderful,” said the minister. “What did I say that changed
your mind?”

“Well,” said the man, “when you got to the part about committing
adultery, I remembered where I left my hat.”

God and the Village Idiot

One day God was hanging out at the Pearly Gates with St. Paul.

“I need to find someone to run for president,” he said after a while.

Attentive to his boss’ needs, St. Paul started naming off a few qualified candidates.

“Nah, I want that guy,” he said pointing to a drunken Texas governor pissing off a balcony.

“You’ve got to be kidding,” said St. Paul, “Not only is he dumber than a box of rocks, he’s got drinking and drug problems.”

“I don’t care,” said God, “This is the guy.”

Perplexed, St. Paul asked: “What is the problem, Lord, art thou angry with the Americans?”

“No,” said God, “I made a bet with the Devil that I could get a village idiot to run for president.”

“But won’t that work in the Devil’s favor, oh Lord?” Paul asked.

“That’s all right,” said God, “he’ll never take Florida.”

Tomorrow morning, put $10,000 in a paper bag and place it under the pecan tree next to the playground. Signed, A Blonde.” The Blonde then pinned the note to the kid’s shirt and sent him home to show his parents.The next morning the blonde checked under the tree and surely enough, a paper bad was sitting there.
