A church in Kansas was raising funds for a new church and the minister was calling on members for subscriptions. One of the pillars of the church rose and said: "I subscribe five dollars." Just at that instant a piece of plaster fell on his head. Half stunned he mumbled "f-f-five hundred dollars" and the minister prayed "Oh Lord, hit him again."
CONUNDRUMS
A party of young people were amusing themselves by guessing the answers to conundrums. One of them asked, "Why is the pancake like the sun?"
"Because it rises in der yeast and sets behind der vest," was the answer given by a brilliant young Swede.
They were discussing that joke about getting down off an elephant.
"How do you get down?" asked the jokesmith for the fourth time.
"You climb down."
