\nMensa is an organization whose members have an IQ of 140
\nor higher. A few years ago, there was a Mensa Convention
\nin San Francisco, and several members lunched at a local
\ncafe. <\/p>\n

While dining, they discovered that their saltshaker con-
\ntained pepper and their pepper shaker was full of salt.
\nHow could they swap the contents of the bottles without
\nspilling, and using only the implements at hand? Clearly
\nthis was a job for Mensa! The group debated and presented
\nideas, and finally came up with a brilliant solution in-
\nvolving a napkin, a straw, and an empty saucer. They
\ncalled the waitress over to dazzle her with their solution. <\/p>\n

“Ma’am,” they said, “we couldn’t help but notice that the
\npepper shaker contains salt and the salt shaker…” <\/p>\n

“Oh,” the waitress interrupted. “Sorry about that.” She
\nunscrewed the caps of both bottles and switched them. <\/p>\n

————–Fishy Story—————–<\/p>\n

Brandon, my grandson was working at a pet store that offered
\nfree replacement fish to any that die. A lady called and
\nstated that her hamster had died. The salesperson who answered
\nthe phone misunderstood her, thinking it was a fish, told her
\nto place it in a plastic bag with water and return it so it
\ncould be replaced. The lady followed instructions to a “T”
\nand brought her dead hamster in a bag of water and handed to
\nmy grandson and said “my hamster died.” Laughing he replied
\n“Was that before or after you placed it in the bag of water?” <\/p>\n

He was fired for not showing sympathy to a customer! <\/p>\n

——————-flu season?———————–<\/p>\n

At the school where my mother worked, the two first-grade
\nteachers were Miss Paine and Mrs. Hacking. One morning the
\nmother of a student called in the middle of a flu epidemic
\nto excuse her daughter from school. <\/p>\n

“Is she in Paine or Hacking?” the school secretary asked. <\/p>\n

“She feels fine,” said the confused mom. “We have company,
\nand I’m keeping her home.” <\/p>\n

——————–Bible Stories——————
\njumping-girl-play.jpg<\/a>
\nSTORY OF ELIJAH
\nThe Sunday school teacher was carefully explaining the story of Elijah the Prophet and the false prophets of Baal. She explained how Elijah built the altar, put wood upon it, cut the steer in pieces, and laid it upon the altar. And then, Elijah commanded the people of God to fill four barrels of water and pour it over the altar. He had them do this four times “Now, said the teacher, “can anyone in the class tell me why the Lord would have Elijah pour water over the steer on the altar?”
\nA little girl in the back of the room started waving her hand, “I know! I know!” she said, “To make the gravy!” <\/p>\n

LOT ‘S WIFE
\nThe Sunday School teacher was describing how Lot’s wife looked back and turned into a pillar of salt, when little Jason interrupted, “My Mummy looked back once, while she was driving,” he announced triumphantly, “and she turned into a telephone pole!” <\/p>\n

GOOD SAMARITAN
\nA Sunday school teacher was telling her class the story of the Good Samaritan, in which a man was beaten, robbed and left for dead. She described the situation in vivid detail so her students would catch the drama. Then, she asked the class, “If you saw a person lying on the roadside, all wounded and bleeding, what would you do?”
\nA thoughtful little girl broke the hushed silence, “I think I’d throw up.”<\/p>\n

DID NOAH FISH?
\nA Sunday school teacher asked, “Johnny, do you think Noah did a lot of fishing when he was on the Ark ?”
\n“No,” he replied, “How could he, with just two worms?”<\/p>\n

HIGHER POWER
\nA Sunday school teacher said to her children, ” We have been learning how powerful kings and queens were in Bible times. But, there is a higher power. Can anybody tell me what it is?”
\nOne child blurted out, “Aces!<\/p>\n

THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD
\nA Sunday School teacher decided to have her young class memorize one of the most quoted passages in the Bible; Psalm 23. She gave the youngsters a month to learn the verse. Little Rick was excited about the task — but, he just couldn’t remember the Psalm. After much practice, he could barely get past the first line. On the day that the kids were scheduled to recite Psalm 23 in front of the congregation, Rick ey was so nervous.
\nWhen it was his turn, he stepped up to the microphone and said proudly, “The Lord is my Shepherd, and that’s all I need to know.” <\/p>\n

Church Smiles
\nThere was a very gracious lady who was mailing an old family Bible to her brother in another part of the country. “Is there anything breakable in here?” asked the postal clerk. “Only the Ten Commandments,” answered the lady<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
