Daily Good Stuff 77

Let’s do what we always do and get the joke:

A salesman is driving toward home in northern Ontario when he sees an Indian thumbing for a ride on the side of the road. As the trip had been long and quiet, he stops the car and the Indian gets in. After a bit of small talk, the Indian notices a brown bag on the front seat. “What’s in bag?”, the Indian asks the driver.

The driver says, “It’s a bottle of wine. I got it for my wife.”

The Indian is silent for a moment then says, “Good trade.”

Oh man that’s tough. Okay, like I promised, here’s a video of people falling. This is gonna be epic!

Daily Good Stuff 76: The 76ers and the NBA

You knew this was coming. As a 76ers fan this post had to come. Well, while this isn’t the first post done as a Sixers theme, this will be strictly Sixers and NBA. So sit back and relax hoop fans, because this is gonna be a wiiiiiiild ride! Our joke is one of a great rivalry between the Sixers and Celtics:

A 76ers fan and a Celtics fan stumble upon a magic lamp. The 76ers fan gets to it first, picks it up and gives it a rub. There’s a flash, a puff of smoke, and a genie appears The genie looks at the 2 men and demands to know who it was that rubbed the lamp. Delighted, the 76ers fan announces that it was him. “Okay,” says the genie, “So you get 3 wishes. But there’s a catch.” “What’s that then?” asks the ‘Gers fan. “Well, whatever you wish for, I’ll give the other guy double.” “That’s alright with me,” says the 76ers fan, and starts the ball rolling by wishing for a million pounds. “Granted!” says the genie, “But the Celtics fan gets 2 million.” “Fair enough. Now, I’d like a nice new Ferrari,” “Done. But the Celtics fan gets 2 Ferraris.” “Okay,” says the 76ers fan, “I’d like to donate a kidney.

So here we are; Monday. Memorial Day. So I guess you all are gonna spend some time outside. They say this is the beginning of grilling season. No special theme post though so, yeah. Let’s start it off:

A dentist, after completing work on a patient, came to him begging.

Dentist: Could you help me? Could you give out a few of your loudest, most painful screams?

Patient: Why? Docor, it wasn’t all that bad this time.

Dentist: There are so many people in the waiting room right now, and I don’t want to miss the four o’clock ball game.

Yeah see as a Sixers fan, I have to be careful I don’t try this to get to a game. This video tries to shed light to why we laugh at people that fall:

A Word of Encouragement

Today I received a word. A much needed word. And it was not the sermon. You know I gotta set up the scene. This is a very long story but if you want to go straight to the main point, go to the last paragraph. I think it would help if you read my story but it’s up to you. This is to help encourage you to keep on keepin on.

So I’ve been ushering for a few years now. I wouldn’t say I’m a head usher but I’m pretty darn close. As we must do when we start a job, I spent my first few months learning the ropes of ushering. Back then, my church only had one service on Sunday. Soon after I got the hang of things, they announced that there would be two services, like so many other churches. And so the regular 10:30 service was after the new 8 am service, which was an abbreviated service and is now known to have a low attendance.

Instantly, ushers starting dropping off. I’m not sure why, but it happened. And then the remaining ushers could only do one service. I, along with the three head ushers and another usher, were consistently at both services. As time went on, I came early enough to where I now set up the sanctuary for service. I make sure all the supplies are laid out for everybody to use.

Fast forward to late 2012, perhaps October. Here I am, ushering for now three years and one of only three ushers to man the 8 am service. Now, the minimum amount of ushers needed to be effective is four, so it’s not so bad. The problem lies in the 10:30 service where only about five ushers are stationed. The minimum needed though is 10-12. So we’re constantly short.

What’s a guy to do?

Doctor: I am, bit by bit.

There ya go. How about a video showing the 12 signs that show you may be addicted to a TV show:

Daily Good Stuff 73

Alright looking good, looking good. We’re at day 73 and I’m actually a little surprised. Today we’ll get into more stuff since I’ll be adding news updates as well. Let’s do with the joke:

A blonde, out of money and down on her luck after buying air at a real bargain, needed money desperately. To raise cash, she decided to kidnap a child and hold him for ransom.

She went to the local playground, grabbed a kid randomly, took her behind a building, and told her, “I’ve kidnapped you.”

She then wrote a big note saying, “I’ve kidnapped your kid. Tomorrow morning, put $10,000 in a paper bag and leave it under the apple tree next to the slides on the south side of the playground. Signed, A blonde.”

The blonde then pinned the note to the kid’s shirt and sent him home to show it to his parents. The next morning the blonde checked, and sure enough, a paper bag was sitting beneath the apple tree. The blonde looked in the bag and found the $10,000 with a note that said, “How could you do this to a fellow blonde?”

Cruel world we live in. Alright on to the video:
