Fun on the Web June 30 '09 Preacher Joke

Reverend Boudreaux was the part-time pastor of the local Cajun Baptist Church and Pastor Thibodaux was the minister of the Covenant Church across the road.

They were both standing by the road, pounding a sign into the ground, that read:

'Da End is Near

Turn Yo Sef 'Roun Now

Afore It Be Too Late!'

As a car sped past them, the driver leaned out his window and yelled, 'You religious nuts!'

From the curve they heard screeching tires, and a big splash...

Boudreaux turns to Thibodaux and asks, 'Do ya tink maybe da sign should jussay.....'Bridge Out?'

Women are like phones:

They like to be held, talked to, and touched often.

But push the wrong button and your ass is disconnected.

I have had a computerized packing list for years but this could be a good start if you don't have one. You can edit the list as needed once they generate a basic one for you.
