 A Sunday school teacher asked the children, just
                      before she dismissed them to go to church, "And why is

 A missionary preacher decided to skip services one Sunday and head to the hills
to do some tiger hunting. As he rounded a corner on a perilous twist in the trail,
he and a tiger collided, sending him and his rifle tumbling down the mountainside.
Before he knew it, his rifle went one way and he went the other, landing on a
rock and breaking both legs. That was the good news. The bad news was that the
ferocious tiger was charging at him from a distance and he could not move, "Oh,
Lord," the preacher prayed, "I am sorry for skipping services today to come out
here and hunt. Please forgive me and grant me just one wish... please make a
Christian out of that tiger that is coming at me. Please Lord." That very instant,
the tiger skidded to a stop, fell to its knees, clasped its paws together and
began to pray aloud at the preachers feet: "Dear God, bless this food I am about
to receive...."
 
 One Sunday morning, the pastor noticed little Johnny was staring up at the large
plaque that hung in the foyer of the church. The seven-year-old had been staring
at the plaque for some time, so the pastor walked up, stood beside the boy, and
said quietly, "Good morning son." "Good morning pastor," replied the young man,
focused on the plaque. "Sir, what is this?" Johnny asked. "Well son, these are
all the people who have died in service," 
            replied the pastor. Soberly, they stood together, staring at the
            large plaque. Little Johnny's voice barely broke the silence when
            he asked quietly, "Which one sir, the 8:30 or the 10:30 service?"
 
 A mother was preparing pancakes for her sons, Kevin, 5, and Ryan 3. The boys

said, "Ryan, you be Jesus!"

 I thought this was funny-
 On my way home from the second job I've taken for the extra
                      holiday cash I need, I stopped at Taco Bell for a quick
                      bite to eat. In my billfold is a $5 bill and a $2 bill.
                      That is all of the cash I have on my person. I figure that
                      with a $2 bill, I can get something to eat and not have
                      to worry about
 people getting upset at me.
 
 ME: "Hi, I'd like one seven layer burrito please, to go.''
 IT: "Is that it?''
 ME: "Yep.''
 IT: "That'll be $1.04, eat here?''
 ME: "No, it's to go.'' [I hate effort duplication.]
 At his point I open my billfold and hand him the $2 bill.
                      He looks at it kind of funny and
 IT: "Uh, hang on a sec, I'll be right back.''
 
 He goes to talk to his manager, who is still within earshot.
                      The following conversation occurs between the two of them.
 
 IT: "Hey, you ever see a $2 bill?''
 MG: "No. A what?''
 IT: "A $2 bill. This guy just gave it to me.''
 MG: "Ask for something else, there's no such thing as a
                      $2 bill.''
 IT: "Yeah, thought so.''
 He comes back to me and says
 IT: "We don't take these. Do you have anything else?''
 ME: "Just this fifty. You don't take $2 bills?
 Why?''
 IT: "I don't know.''
 ME: "See here where it says legal tender?''
 IT: "Yeah.''
 ME: "So, shouldn't you take it?''
 IT: "Well, hang on a sec.''
 
 He goes back to his manager who is watching me like I'm
                      going to shoplift, and
 
 IT: "He says I have to take it.''
 MG: "Doesn't he have anything else?''
 IT: "Yeah, a fifty. I'll get it and you can open the safe
                      and get change.''
 MG: "I'm not opening the safe with him inhere.''
 
 IT: "What should I do?''
 MG: "Tell him to come back later when he has
 real money.''
 IT: "I can't tell him that, you tell him.''
 MG: "Just tell him.''
 IT: "No way, this is weird, I'm going in
 back.''
 
 The manager approaches me and says
 
 MG: "Sorry, we don't take big bills this time of
 night.'' [it was 8pm and this particular Taco Bell
 is in a well lighted indoor mall with 100 other stores.]
 ME: "Well, here's a two.''
 MG: "We don't take those either.''
 ME: "Why not?''
 MG: "I think you know why.''
 ME: "No really, tell me, why?''
 MG: "Please leave before I call mall
 security.''
 |    ME: "Excuse me?'' MG: "Please leave before I call mall security.''
 ME: "What for?''
 MG: "Please, sir.''
 ME: "Uh, go ahead, call them.''
 MG: "Would you please just leave?''
 ME: "No.''
 MG: "Fine, have it your way then.''
 ME: "No, that's Burger King, isn't it?''
 
 At this point he backs away from me and calls mall security
                      on the phone around the corner. I have two people staring
                      at me from the dining area, and I begin laughing out loud,
                      just for effect. A few minutes later this 45 year oldish
                      guy comes in and says [at
 the other end of counter, in a whisper]
 
 SG: "Yeah, Mike, what's up?''
 MG: "This guy is trying to give me some [pause]
 funny money.''
 SG: "Really? What?''
 MG: "Get this, a two dollar bill.''
 SG: "Why would a guy fake a $2 bill?'' [incredulous]
 MG: "I don't know? He's kinda weird. Says the
 only other thing he has is a fifty.''
 SG: "So, the fifty's fake?''
 MG: "No, the $2 is.''
 SG: "Why would he fake a $2 bill?''
 MG: "I don't know. Can you talk to him, and get
 him out of here?''
 SG: "Yeah...''
 
 Security guard walks over to me and says
 
 SG: "Mike here tells me you have some fake bills you're
                      trying to use.''
 ME: "Uh, no.''
 SG: "Lemme see 'em.''
 ME: "Why?''
 SG: "Do you want me to get the cops in here?''
 
 At this point I was ready to say, "SURE, PLEASE,''
 but I wanted to eat, so I said
 
 ME: "I'm just trying to buy a burrito and pay for
 it with this $2 bill.''
 
 I put the bill up near his face, and he flinches
 like I was taking a swing at him. He takes the bill, turns
 it over a few times in his hands, and says
 
 SG: "Mike, what's wrong with this bill?''
 MG: "It's fake.''
 SG: "It doesn't look fake to me.''
 MG: "But it's a $2 bill.''
 SG: "Yeah?''
 MG: "Well, there's no such thing, is there?''
 
 The security guard and I both looked at him like
 he was an idiot, and it dawned on the guy that he
 had no clue. My burrito was free and he threw in a small
                      drink and those cinnamon things, too. Makes me want to
                      get a whole stack of $2 bills just to see what happens
                      when I try to buy stuff. If I got the right group of people,
                      I could probably end up in jail. At least I'd get free
                      food.
