 An older married woman got hauled into court for stealing a can of peaches. The judge asked, "Why?" She said, "I was hungry." Judge said,

 "Sorry, you committed a crime. I have to sentence you. How many peaches were in the can?" Woman said, "Six." Judge said, "I'm giving you a day in jail for every peach you took." Just before he banged his gavel down the woman's husband said, "May I speak?" Judge said, "Go ahead." The old guy said, "She stole a can of peas too."

The  Picnic

 A Jewish Rabbi and a Catholic Priest met at the town's annual 4th of July picnic. Old friends, they began their usual banter.

 The baked ham is really delicious,' the priest teased the rabbi. 'You really ought to try it.. I know it's against your religion, but I can't understand why such a wonderful food should be forbidden! You don't know what you're missing. You just haven't lived until you've tried Mrs.  Hall's  prized Virginia Baked Ham.

Tell me,  Rabbi, when are you going to break down and try it?'

The rabbi looked at the priest with a big grin, and said, “At your wedding.”

 The Usher

 An elderly woman walked into the local country church. The friendly usher  greeted her at the door and helped her up the flight of steps, “Where  would you like to sit?” he asked politely.

“The front row please,” she answered..

 “You really don't want to do that,” the usher said 'The pastor is really  boring.'

“Do you happen to  know who I am?” the woman inquired. “No.” he said.

“I'm the pastor's mother,” she replied indignantly.

“Do you know who I am?” he asked.

“No.” she said. “Good,” he answered and walked away.

 Show  and Tell

  A kindergarten teacher gave her class a “show and tell” assignment. Each student was instructed to bring in an object to share with the class that represented their religion...

 The first student got up in front of the class and said, “My name is Benjamin and I am Jewish and this is a Star of David..”

 The second student got up in front of the class and said, “My name is Mary I'm a Catholic and this is a Rosary.”'  The third student got in up front of the class and said, “My name is Tommy.. I am Baptist, and this is a casserole.”

The   Best Way To Pray

  A priest, administer and a guru sat discussing the best positions for prayer, while a telephone repairman worked nearby. “Kneeling is definitely the best way to pray,” the priest said.

“No,” said the minister. “I get the best results standing with my hands outstretched to Heaven.”

“You're both wrong,” the guru said. “The most effective prayer position is lying down on the floor.”

The repairman could contain himself no longer... “Hey, fellas,” he interrupted..

“The best prayin' I ever did was when I was hangin' upside down from a telephone pole.”

 The Twenty and the   One

 A well-worn

        one-dollar bill and a similarly distressed twenty-dollar bill

  arrived at a

        Federal Reserve Bank to be retired. As they moved along the

  conveyor belt

        to be burned, they struck up a conversation. The twenty-dollar bill

        reminisced about its travels all over the country.

 'I've had

        a pretty good life,' the twenty proclaimed. 'Why I've been to Las

  Vegas

        and Atlantic City , the

        finest restaurants in New York , performances on Broadway, and even a

        cruise to the Caribbean '.

 'Wow!'

        said the one-dollar bill.

 'You've

        really had an exciting life!'

 'So tell me,'

        says the twenty, 'where have you

        been throughout your lifetime?'

 The one dollar bill replies,

        'Oh, I've been to

        the Methodist Church , the Baptist Church , the Lutheran Church

        '.

 The twenty-dollar

        bill interrupts, 'What's a church?'

 Goat for Dinner

 The young couple

        invited their elderly priest for Sunday dinner. While they were in

  the kitchen

        preparing the meal, the priest  asked their son what they were

        having for dinner.

 'Goat,' the

        little boy replied.

 'Goat?'

        replied the startled man of the cloth, 'Are you sure about

        that?'

 'Yep,' said the

        youngster. 'I heard Dad say to Mom, 'Today is just as good as any

  to have

        the old goat for dinner.'

 Lord, keep Your

        arm around my shoulder, and

        Your hand over my

        mouth!
