Tommy was over 2 hours late. "Where have you been? Why are you over 2 hours late getting home?" asked John. "Several of us went to the library to work on an extra credit project," said Tommy. The robot then walked around the table and slapped Tommy, knocking him completely out of his chair! "Son," said John, "this robot is a lie detector, now tell us where you really were after school." "We went to Bobby's house and watched a movie" said Tommy. "What did you watch ?" asked Marsha. "The Ten Commandments" answered Tommy. The robot went around to Tommy and once again slapped him, knocking him off his chair once more. With his lip quivering, Tommy got up, sat down and said, "I am sorry I lied. We really watched a movie called Pretty Girl." "I am ashamed of you, son," said John. "When I was your age, I never lied to my parents!" The robot then walked around to John and delivered a whack that nearly knocked him out of his chair! Marsha doubled over in laughter, almost in tears, and said, "Boy, did you ever ask for that one!

Home Shopping Two young men from up in Minnesota were looking at a Sears catalogue and admiring the models. Ole says to the Sven "Have you seen the beautiful girls in this catalogue?" Sven replies, "Yes, they are very beautiful. And look at the price!" Ole says, with wide eyes, "Wow, they aren't very expensive. At this price, I'm buying one." Sven smiles and pats him on the back, "Good idea! Order one and if she's as beautiful as she is in the catalogue, I will get one too." Three weeks later, Sven asks his friend Ole, "Did you ever receive the girl you ordered from the Sears catalogue?" Ole replies, "No, but it shouldn't be long now. I got her clothes yesterday!" Say a Little Prayer Squirrels had overrun three churches in town. After much prayer, the elders of the first church determined that the animals were predestined to be there. Who were they to interfere with God's will? they reasoned. Soon, the squirrels multiplied. The elders of the second church, deciding that they could not harm any of God's creatures, humanely trapped the squirrels and set them free outside of town. Three days later, the squirrels were back. It was only the third church that succeeded in keeping the pests away. The elders baptized the squirrels and registered them as members of the church. Now they only see them on Christmas and Easter.
