  • Four Worms

    A minister decided that a visual demonstration would add emphasis to his Sunday sermon.

    Four worms were placed into four separate jars.

    The first worm was put into a container of alcohol.

    The second worm was put into a container of cigarette smoke.

    The third worm was put into a container of chocolate syrup.

    The fourth worm was put into a container of good clean soil.


    At the conclusion of the sermon, the Minister reported the following results:

    The first worm in alcohol - Dead.

    The second worm in cigarette smoke - Dead

    Third worm in chocolate syrup - Dead

    Fourth worm in good clean soil - Alive.


    So the Minister asked the congregation -

    "What did you learn from this demonstration?"


    Maxine was sitting in the back, quickly raised her hand and said,


    "As long as you drink, smoke and eat chocolate, you won't have worms!"

  • There was a farmer, Perley Moore, who had recently bought a
    truck and found that the "basic price" was only the
    beginning. Once the salesman had added on all the extras --
    towing package, toolbox, fifth-wheel attachment, etc. -- the
    price was quite a bit higher. Well, by a strange turn of
    fate, that same salesman stopped by Perley's farm one day to
    buy a cow. The dealer examined the herd, picked out a likely
    specimen, and asked about the price.

    "That's a hundred-dollar cow," Moore replied directly.

    "That's fair enough," said the salesman. "I'll take her."

    "Well, now, that's the basic price," Moore added, getting
    out pencil and paper. "There are one or two extras, of
    course." He made a few notes and handed the paper to the
    dealer. Here is the final invoice:

    Basic cow: $100
    Two-tone exterior: $45
    Storage compartment and dispensing device: $60
    Four spigots @ $10 each: $40
    Genuine cowhide upholstery: $75
    Dual horns @ $7.50 each: $15
    Automatic fly-swatter: $35

    Total: $370
