Not a joke but I laughed none the less!
Dwight Nelson recently told a true story about the pastor of his church. He had a kitten that climbed up a tree in his backyard and then was afraid to come down. The pastor coaxed, offered warm milk, etc.
The kitty would not come down. The tree was not sturdy enough to climb, so the pastor decided that if he tied a rope to his car and pulled it until the tree bent down, he could then reach up and get the kitten.
That's what he did, all the while checking his progress in the car. He then figured if he went just a little bit further, the tree would be bent sufficiently for him to reach the kitten. But as he moved the car a little further forward, the rope broke.
The tree went 'boing!' and the kitten instantly sailed through the air - out of sight.
The pastor felt terrible. He walked all over the neighborhood asking people if they'd seen a little kitten. No. Nobody had seen a stray kitten. So he prayed, 'Lord, I just commit this kitten to your keeping,' and went on about his business.
A few days later he was at the grocery store, and met one of his church members. He happened to look into her shopping cart and was amazed to see cat food. This woman was a cat hater and everyone knew it, so he asked her, 'Why are you buying cat food when you hate cats so much?'
She replied, 'You won't believe this,' and then told him how her little girl had been begging her for a cat, but she kept refusing. Then a few days before, the child had begged again, so the Mom finally told her little girl, 'Well, if God gives you a cat, I'll let you keep it.' She told the pastor, 'I watched my child go out in the yard, get on her knees, and ask God for a cat. And really, Pastor, you won't believe this, but I saw it with my own eyes. A kitten suddenly came flying out of the blue sky, with its paws outspread, and landed right in front of her.'
Never underestimate the Power of God and His unique sense of humor.

GR@PH;<'S :Hammys pint:
GR@PH;<'S, if a Ferrari was launched hundreds of feet through the air and came flying into your yard;
after landing I hardly think it would be nearly worth driving as you might think...
:shock:
Although, it might make a nice end table. :thumbsup:

Rather than an end table, I suspect GR@PH;<'S would turn it into a bar. :)
Corrine,
You took the words right out of my mouth :flowers:
@R3D Hay at least I could tell every one that I have a Ferrari.
oh mind you I do that as I do have several of them I even got one that I turned into a USB pen drive
GR@PH;<'S :Hammys pint:
LOL, good call Corrine, I just couldn't find a really messed up ferrari made into a bar pic... :hysterical:
so GR@PH;<'S, if your Ferrari flash drive breaks, do you have to call an Italian mechanic to have it repaired? :confused: "It'ss-a like-a NEW!" :goodie:
R3D,
Quote"It'ss-a like-a NEW!"

One good thing about this one....no speeding tickets!!
...It will, however, need the yearly oil change/cleaning internally though. At least I think that's oil, ewww... :lol:
