Murphy's hat

Thank you for this Irish gem, Mrsgunka.

Murphy showed up at mass one Sunday and the priest almost fell down when he saw him. He'd never been to church in his life. After mass, the priest caught up with him and said,

"Murphy, I am so glad ya decided to come to mass. What made ya come?"

Murphy said, "I got to be honest with you Father, a while back, I misplaced me hat and I really, really love that hat. I know that McGlynn had a hat just like mine and I knew he came to church every Sunday. I also knew that he had to take off his hat during mass and figured he would leave it in the back of church. So, I was going to leave after communion and steal McGlynn's hat."


The priest said, "Well, Murphy, I notice that ya didn't steal McGlynn's hat. What changed your mind?"

Murphy replied, "Well, after I heard your sermon on the Ten Commandments I decided that I didn't need to steal McGlynn's hat after all."

With a tear in his eye the priest gave Murphy a big smile and said, "After I talked about 'Thou Shalt Not Steal' ya decided you would rather do without your hat than burn in hell, eh?"


Murphy slowly shook his head. "No, Father, after ya talked about 'Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery' I remembered where I left me hat."

Shall we dance?

I saw this photo on Facebook. I think it's beautiful (if a bit sad), and the caption quite accurate.

We build too many walls and not enough bridges

View_From_Here sent me an e-mail showing the contrasts between men and women. It was quite long, with loads of pictures. One item was particularly funny, and here it is:


I'll post other bits at a later date. Thank you, View.

If animals could talk...

Sleuth is a big fan of the Icanhascheezburger site, posting some very funny pictures in the comments. So I was tempted to take a dip over there and found some good captions that made me chuckle. Here's a small selection:
