WEBSIDE HUMOUR
Hard to believe

Nine-year-old Joey, was asked by his mother what he had learned in Sunday school. "Well, Mom, our teacher told us how God sent Moses behind enemy lines on a rescue mission to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. When he got to the Red Sea, he had his army build a pontoon bridge and all the people walked across safely. Then, he radioed headquarters for reinforcements. They sent bombers to blow up the bridge and all the Israelites were saved."

"Now, Joey, is that really what your teacher taught you?" his mother asked.

"Well, no, Mom. But, if I told it the way the teacher did, you’d never believe it."

The doctor told his patient, "I’m afraid you only have three weeks to live".

The patient replied, "Then I’ll take the last two weeks in July and the week between Christmas and New Year."

A woman brought an old picture of her dead husband wearing a hat to the photographer. She wanted to know if the photographer could remove the hat from the picture. He convinced her he could easily do that, and asked her what side of his head he parted his hair on.

"I forget," she said. "But you can see that for yourself when you take off his hat."

Soon after their last child left home for college, the husband was resting next to his wife on the couch with his head in her lap. She carefully removed his glasses. "You know, honey," she said sweetly, "Without your glasses, you look like the same handsome young man I married."

"Honey," he replied with a grin, "Without my glasses, you still look pretty good too."

The detective was interviewing the man whose clothing shop had just been burgled.

"It’s bad," said the proprietor, "but it’s not as bad as it could have been if he’d robbed me yesterday."

"Why is that?" the detective asked.

"Because today everything was on sale."
