A businessman was in a great deal of trouble. His business was failing, he had put everything he had into the business, he owed everybody-- it was so bad he was even contemplating suicide. As a last resort he went to a priest and poured out his story of tears and woe.

When he had finished, the priest said, "Here's what I want you to do: Put a beach chair and your Bible in your car and drive down to the beach. Take the beach chair and the Bible to the water's edge, sit down in the beach chair, and put the Bible in your lap. Open the Bible; the wind will rifle the pages, but finally the open Bible will come to rest on a page. Look down at the page and read the first thing you see. That will be your answer, that will tell you what to do."

A year later the businessman went back to the priest and brought his wife and children with him. The man was in a new custom-tailored suit, his wife in a mink coat, the children shining. The businessman pulled an envelope stuffed with money out of his pocket, gave it to the priest as a donation in thanks for his advice.

The priest recognized the benefactor, and was curious. "You did as I suggested?" he asked.

"Absolutely," replied the businessman.

"You went to the beach?"

"Absolutely."

"You sat in a beach chair with the Bible in your lap?"

"Absolutely."

"You let the pages rifle until they stopped?"

"Absolutely."

"And what were the first words you saw?"

"Chapter 11*."

Bob and his wife Susan live in Muncie, Indiana. One winter morning while listening to the radio, they hear the announcer say, "We are going to have 8 to 10 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the even numbered side of the street, so the snowplough can get through." Susan goes out and moves her** car.
A week later while they are eating breakfast, the radio announcer says, "We are expecting 10 to 12 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the odd numbered side of the street, so the snowplough can get through."
Susan goes out and moves her car again.

Susan is very upset, and with a worried look on her face she says, "Honey, I don't know what to do." Which side of the street do I need to park on so the snowplough can get through?

A priest, a psychiatrist and a lawyer are together in a sailing ship when the boat capsizes. In danger of drowning they decide that one of them should swim through the dangerous waters to the shore for help. The lawyer volunteers. The priest says, "You'll get killed, there are hundreds of hungry sharks between here and the land. We'll just have to pray, God will save us." "Bullshit", the lawyer shouts and jumps into the water and swims off. As he swims towards the shore the sharks let him through. "That's a miracle," says the priest. "No, that's professional courtesy," says the psychiatrist.

It can do everything the other parrot can, plus it knows how to program in several different languages." The increasingly startled man asked about the third parrot. The owner said that it cost $ 2000 and, of course, the man had to ask, "Well, what can it do?" The owner replied, "To be honest, I've never seen it do anything, but the other two call him boss."

"It's 5:40!" yells the trucker. Really needing to catch some sleep before he can continue driving, he writes on a piece of paper: I DON'T KNOW THE TIME. He sticks the paper behind his windscreen.

A priest woke up one Sunday morning and looking outside he saw that it was a beautiful day. He decided to skip church and go play a round of golf instead. He drove about 40 miles out of town to avoid being spotted by his parishioners. As he was setting up his first drive on the first hole, Jesus leaned over to God and asked him, "Are you going to let him get away with this?" God told him not to worry, he would handle it. Just as God said that, the priest hit the drive of his life. The ball travelled 500 feet to the green, bounced once and rolled into the hole. The priest stabbed the air with his right fist in ecstatic joy, shouting, "Wow, what a shot!" Jesus asked God, "Why would you let him do that?" To which God only replied, "Because, who is he going to tell?"
