Feeling refreshed, the trio decided to pick a few berries while enjoying their "freedom." As they were crossing an open area, who should come along but a group of ladies from town.
Unable to get to their clothes in time, the minister and the priest covered their privates and the rabbi covered his face while they ran for cover.
After the ladies had left and the men got their clothes back on, the minister and the priest asked the rabbi why he covered his face rather than his privates. The rabbi replied, "I don't know about you, but in MY congregation, it's my face they would recognize."

Rindecella was a geautiful birl who lived in a hig bouse with her mugly other and two sugly isters. They didn't like Rindecella, and made her clean the hig bouse all by herself.
One day, the pransome hince invited all of the girls to a bancy fall. Rindecella's mugly other said she couldn't go. The mugly other and sugly isters left without Rindecella. But Rindecella's gairy fodmother came and said she could go, but she had to leave before the moke of stridnight or she would turn into a pumpkin. Then she gave her a pair of slass glippers to wear.
Rindecella went to the bancy fall and danced and danced with the pransome hince until they lell in fove. Then the dig bock truck stwelve! Rindecella ran as fast as she could, but she slopped her dripper on the way out. Then she turned into a pumpkin and rolled all the way to the hig bouse and took root in the gamily farden. The pransome hince never found his pumpkin, so he married one of the sugly isters.
The moral of the story is: If you go to the bancy fall, and dance with the pransome hince, don't slop your dripper!
After having their 10th child, an Arkansas couple decided that was enough. So the husband went to his doctor and told him he and his wife didn't want to have any more children. The doctor told him there was a procedure called a vasectomy that could fix the problem. The doctor told the man that he was to go home, get a cherry bomb, put it in a can, then hold the can up to his ear and count to 10.
The Arky said to the doctor, "I may not be the smartest man, but I don't see how putting a cherry bomb in a can next to my ear is going to help me."
So the couple drove to Missouri to get a second opinion. The doctor was just about to tell them about the procedure for a vasectomy when he noticed they were from Arkansas. This doctor also told the man to go home and get a cherry bomb, place it in a tin can, hold it next to his ear and count to 10.
Figuring that both doctors couldn't be wrong, the man went home, lit a cherry bomb and put it in a can. He held the can up to his ear and began to count "1, 2, 3, 4, 5. .", at which point he paused, placed the can between his legs and resumed counting on his other hand.
One day, it gets to be too much. The guy grabs the bird by the throat, shakes him really hard, and yells, "QUIT IT!" But this just makes the bird mad and he swears more than ever. Then the guy gets mad and says, "OK for you" and locks the bird in a kitchen cabinet. This really aggravates the bird and he claws and scratches, and when the guy finally lets him out, the bird cuts loose with a stream of invective that would make a veteran sailor blush.
At that point, the guy is so mad that he throws the bird into the freezer. For the first few seconds there is a terrible din. The bird kicks and claws and thrashes Then it suddenly gets very quiet. At first the guy just waits, but then he starts to think that the bird may be hurt. After a couple of minutes of silence, he's so worried that he opens up the freezer door.
"Awfully sorry about the trouble I gave you. I'll do my best to improve
my vocabulary from now on."
The man is astounded. He can't understand the transformation that has
come over the parrot. Then the parrot says, "By the way, what did the chicken
do?"
A duck walked into a pharmacy. He asked the
pharmacist, "Do you have any grapes?"
"No, but the grocery store two blocks down
sells grapes," he replied.
The next day, the same duck walked into the
same pharmacy and asked, 'Do you have any grapes?"
"No, two blocks down on the right." replied
the pharmacist, somewhat annoyed.
The third day, the same duck walked back into
the same pharmacy and asked the same question. This time the pharmacist
said, "We don't sell grapes here. You have asked for grapes now for three
days in a row. I have told you we don't sell them here, this is a pharmacy,
not a grocery store. If you come back in here tomorrow asking for grapes
again, I am going to nail your little webbed feet to the floor! NOW GET
OUT OF HERE!"
The next day the same duck walks back into
the same pharmacy, this time with quite a bit of trepidation.
He looks around and asks the pharmacist, "Do
you have any nails?"
"No," replied the pharmacist.
"Do you have any grapes then?"
An Irishman walks out of a pub, stumbling back and forth with a key in his hand. A cop on the beat sees him and approaches, "Can I help you lad?
"Yesss, sssshombody stole me car!" the Irishman replies.
The cop asks, "Well now, where was your car the last time you saw it?"
It was at the end of this key"
About this time the cop looks down to see that the Irishman's member is being exhibited for all to see.
He then asks, "Are you aware that you are exposing yourself?"
The Irishman looks down woefully and moans "OOH GOD... they got me girlfriend too!!"
About a year later, the old priest retired and was replaced by a younger man. No one thought about changing the words in the confessional. After hearing his first round of Saturday confessions, the young priest went to the mayor of the town and said to him, "Mr. Mayor, you are going to have to do something about the deplorable condition of the streets and sidewalks. People are telling me that they are falling all over the place."
The mayor immediately understood the problem, and he leaned back in his chair and laughed. The priest was puzzled, and said, "Mr. Mayor, you shouldn't be laughing! Your wife told me that just last week she fell three times.

The Redneck opened his lunch and said, "Bologna again. If I get a bologna
sandwich one more time I'm jumping too."
Next day - the Irishman opens his lunch box, sees corned beef and cabbage
and jumps to his death. The Mexican open his lunch, sees a burrito and
jumps too. The Redneck opens his lunch, sees the bologna and
jumps to his death also.
At the funeral - The Irishman's wife is weeping. She says, "'If I'd
known how really tired he was of corned beef and cabbage I never
would have given it to him again!"
The Mexican's wife also weeps and says could have given him tacos or
enchiladas! I didn't realize he hated burritos so much."
Everyone turned and stared at the Redneck's wife. "Hey, don't look
at me" she said. "He makes his own lunch"
"Twelve dollars for the rat, sir," says the shop owner, "and a thousand dollars more for the story behind it."
You can keep the story, old man," he replies, "but I'll take the rat." The transaction complete, the tourist leaves the store with the bronze rat under his arm. As he crosses the street in front of the store, two live rats emerge from a sewer drain and fall into step behind him. Nervously looking over his shoulder, he begins to walk faster, but every time he passes another sewer drain, more rats come out and follow him.
By the time he's walked two blocks, at least a hundred rats are at his
heels, and people begin to point and shout. He walks even faster, and soon
breaks into a trot as multitudes of rats swarm from sewers,
basements, vacant lots, and abandoned cars. Rats by the thousands are
at his heels, and as he sees the waterfront at the bottom of the hill,
he panics and starts to run full tilt.
No matter how fast he runs, the rats keep up, squealing hideously, now not just thousands but millions, so that by the time he comes rushing up to the water's edge a trail of rats twelve city blocks long is behind him. Making a mighty leap, he jumps up onto a light post, grasping it with one arm while he hurls the bronze rat into San Francisco Bay with the other, as far as he can heave it. Pulling his legs up and clinging to the light post, he watches in amazement as the seething tide of rats surges over the breakwater into the sea, where they drown.
Shaken and mumbling, he makes his way back to the antique shop. "Ah, so you've come back for the rest of the story," says the owner.
"No," says the tourist, "I was wondering if you have a bronze lawyer."
After a few days, the Lord called Adam to him, and said, "It is time
for you and Eve to begin the process of populating the Earth. So I want
you to start by kissing Eve."
Adam answered, "Yes Lord, but what's a 'kiss'?"
So the Lord gave Adam a brief description and Adam then took Eve by
the hand, behind a nearby bush.
A few minutes later, Adam emerged, and said, "Lord, that was enjoyable."
And the Lord replied, "Yes, Adam, I thought you'd enjoy that, and now
I'd like you to caress Eve."
And Adam said, "Lord, what's a 'caress'?"
So the Lord gave Adam a brief description and Adam again went behind
the bush with Eve. Quite a few minutes later, Adam returned, smiling, and
said, "Lord, that was even better than the kiss."
And the Lord said, "You've done well, Adam, and now I want you to make
love to Eve"
And Adam said, "Lord, what's 'making love'?"
So the Lord again gave Adam directions, and Adam took Eve behind the
bush.
But this time he reappeared in two seconds.
And Adam said, "Lord, what's a 'headache'?"
God said, "Adam, so that you would love Eve."
Adam says, "But God, "why did you make her so stupid?"
God said, "So that she would love you."

The mermaid says: "Done."
Suddenly, the guy starts reciting Shakespeare and analyzing with with
extreme insight.
The second guy is so amazed he says to the mermaid: "Triple my I. Q."
The mermaid says.. 'Done.'
And the guy starts to spout out all the mathematical solutions
to problems that have been stumping all the scientists of varying fields:
physics, chemistry, etc.
The last guy is so enthralled with the changes in his friends, that
he says to the mermaid: "Quintuple my I. Q.
"The mermaid looks at him and says: "You know, I normally don't try
to change people's minds when they make a wish, but I really wish you'd
reconsider."
The guy says: 'Nope, I want you to increase my' I. Q. times five, and
if you don't do it, I won't set you free."
"Please, "says the mermaid, "You don't know what you're asking... it'll
change your entire view on the universe. . . won't you ask for something
else, a million dollars, anything?"
But no matter what the mermaid said the guy insisted on having his
I. Q. increased by five times it's usual power. So the mermaid sighed and
said: 'Done."
And he became a woman.
One day Mrs. Jones went to have a talk with the minister at the local church. "Reverend, she said, "I have a problem--my husband keeps falling asleep during your sermons. It's very embarrassing. What should I do?"
"I have an idea," said the minister. "Take this hat pin with you. I will be able to tell when your husband is sleeping, and I will motion to you at specific times. When I motion, you give him a good poke in the leg."
In church the following Sunday, Mr. Jones dozed off. Noticing this, the preacher put his plan to work. "And who made the ultimate sacrifice for you?" he said, nodding to Mrs. Jones.
"Jesus!" Jones cried as his wife jabbed him in the leg with the hat pin.
"Yes, you are right, Mr. Jones," said the minister.
Soon, Jones nodded off again. Again, the minister noticed. "Who is your redeemer?" he asked the congregation, motioning towards Mrs. Jones.
"Christ!" Jones cried out as he was stuck again with the hat pin.
"Right again," said the minister, smiling.
Before long, Jones again winked off. However, this time the minister did not notice. As he picked up the tempo of his sermon, he made a few motions that Mrs. Jones mistook as signals to bayonet her husband with the hat pin again.
The minister asked, "And what did Eve say to Adam after she bore him his 99th son?"
Mrs. Jones poked her husband, who yelled, "You stick that thing
in me one more time and I'll break it off and shove it up your butt!"
A
doctor gave a man six months to live.
The
man couldn't pay his bill, so he gave him another six months.
My doctor grabbed me by the wallet and said "Cough."
The
Doctor called Mrs. Cohen saying "Mrs. Cohen, your check came back."
Mrs.
Cohen answered "So did my arthritis."
"Doctor,
my leg hurts. What can I do? "
The
doctor says, "Limp."
Nurse:
" Doctor, the man you just gave a clean bill of health to dropped
dead,
right as he was leaving the office."
Doctor:
"Turn him around, make it look like he was walking in."
"This should be
taken care of right away."
I'd planned a trip
to Hawaii next month but this is so easy and profitable that I want to
fix it before it cures itself.
"Let me check your
medical history.
" I want to see
if you've paid your last bill before spending anymore time with you.
"Why don't we make
another appointment later in the week."
I'm playing golf
this afternoon, and this a waste of time.
---or--
I need the bucks,
so I'm charging you for another office visit.
"We have some good
news and some bad news."
The good news is,
I'm going to buy that new BMW. The bad news is, you're going to pay for
it.
"Let's see how
it develops."
Maybe in a few
days it will grow into something that can be cured.
"Let me schedule
you for some tests."
I have a forty
percent interest in the lab.
"I'd like to have
my associate look at you."
He's going through
a messy divorce and owes me a bundle.
"I'd like to prescribe
a new drug."
I'm writing a paper
and would like to use you for a guinea pig.
"This may smart
a little."
Last week two patients
bit off their tongues.
"Well, we're not
feeling so well today, are we...?"
I'm stalling for
time. Who are you and why are you here?
"This should fix
you up."
The drug company
slipped me some big bucks to prescribe this stuff.
"Everything seems
to be normal."
Rats! I guess I
can't buy that new beach condo after all.
"I'd like to run
some more tests."
I can't figure
out what's wrong. Maybe the kid in the lab can solve this one.
"Do you suppose
all this stress could be affecting your nerves?"
You're crazier'n
an outhouse rat. Now, if I can only find a shrink who'll split fees with
me ...
