Ever Wonder by Jacque – 2 Little Stories
I have two cute stories for you today that I think you might like. The first is called ‘No-one believesseniors anymore. They think they’re senile.’
An elderly couple was celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary. The couple had married as childhood sweethearts and had moved back to their old neighborhood after they retired.. Holding hands, they walked back to their old school. It was not locked and they went in. They actually found the old desk they had shared and where he had carved their names so long ago.
On the way home, a bag of money fell out of an armored car at Sally’s feet. Sally quickly picked it up and not knowing what to do with it, they took it home. There she counted the money and found fifty thousand dollars.
Her husband, Jerry, said, “We’ve got to give it back.”
Sally said, “Finders, keepers” and she hid the money in the attic.
The next day two police officers were canvassing the neighborhood looking for the money and knocked on their door. “Pardon me, but did either if you happen to find a bag full of money that fell out of an armored car yesterday?”
Sally said, “No”.
Jerry said, “She’s lying. She hid it in the attic”.
Sally said, “Don’t believe him. He’s getting senile.”
The agent turned to Jerry and begin to ask him a few questions. “Tel us the story from the beginning”.
Jerry said, “Well, we were walking home from school yesterday…”
The first police officer turned to his partner and said, “We’re outta here”.
Jesus and Finklestein
Jesus was wandering around Jerusalem when he decided that he really needed a new robe. After looking around for awhile, he saw a sign for Finkelstein, theTailor.
So, He went inside and made the necessary arrangements to have Finkelstein prepare a new robe for him. A few days later, when the robe was finished, Jesus tried it on — and it was a perfect fit!
Jesus asked how much he owed. Finkelstein brushed him off: “No, no, no, for the Son of God there’s no charge!
However, may I ask for a small favor? “Whenever you give a sermon, perhaps you could just mention that your nice new robe was made by Finkelstein, the Tailor.”
Jesus readily agreed and as promised, extolled the virtues of his Finkelstein robe whenever he spoke to the masses.
A few months later, while Jesus was again walking through Jerusalem he happened to walk past Finkelstein’s shop and noted a huge line of people waiting for Finkelstein’s robes.
He pushed his way through the crowd to speak to him and as soon as Finkelstein spotted him he said: “Jesus, Jesus, look what you’ve done for my business! Would you consider a partnership?”
“Certainly,” replied Jesus “Jesus & Finkelstein it is”.
“Oh, no, no,” said Finkelstein. “Finkelstein & Jesus. “After all, I am the craftsman.”
The two of them debated this for some time. Their discussion was long and spirited, but ultimately fruitful,
and they finally came up with a mutually acceptable compromise. A few days later, the new sign went up over Finkelstein’s shop: ‘Lord and Taylor’. Hmmmmm, could be…. Maybe senile, maybe smart….?
God bless you.
