Duck-billed platypus. Just sayin'.
Oh, so true!!

Yes, God has a sense of humor.....God called me to ordained ministry. (And believe me, there's something a little funny about that...)

I was actually asked, at the end of the ordination interviews, to tell the examining board a joke. I told the following and they still let me in!!

It was a short time after Jesus' ascension, and he was enjoying being back in heaven. He was looking around one day because he very much wanted to see Joseph. Joseph had died when he was a teen and he'd always missed him....
...and then, Jesus saw an old man walking toward him. "Excuse me sir", Jesus said, "I wonder if you can help me. I'm looking for my father."
"What a coincidence!" said the old man. "I'm looking for my son! Where is your father from?"
"A lovely place, full of olive groves and vineyards and gardens," Jesus said.
"Why, that sounds just like my home!" the old man said. "What did he do there?"
"My father was a carpenter", Jesus said.
"You don't say!" said the old man. "Why, I carved wood every day of my life!"
"There's just one thing," Jesus said solemnly. "My father wasn't - you know - physically my father".
"Well", said the old man, nodding his head, "My son wasn't physically my son. He came into the world in a wonderful way; full of mystery! Even I don't completely understand. And I don't believe anyone will ever come into the world in the same way again."
"Daddy!" Jesus cried out joyfully.

And the old man shouted, "PINOCCHIO!!"

That's a great story, Meri! I also like the story of Rhoda in Acts. Here she is at a gathering of early Christians, all fervently praying that Peter will be released from prison and not executed, and when she answers a knock at the door only to find that it's Peter and their prayers have been answered, what does she do? She's so startled she slams the door in his face! Poor girl never lived it down....here we are discussing it nearly two millenia later.....

Garrison Keillor once said that God is a comedian playing to an audience that's afraid to laugh. I think there's truth in that....

Grace's joke reminds me of one that is more of a St. Peter joke than a God joke, but what the -- er, what the heck.

This guy, Bob, is Catholic and all his life he's prayed to St. Joseph. He tended to forget to pray to the Blessed Virgin, to Jesus, or God, but prayed to St. Joseph. Then he's on a plane that is going to crash and he prays to St. Joseph to help him through it. The plane crashes and he finds himself at the Pearly Gates.

Peter looks over his record and while doing so, the guy runs on about how thrilled he is to see the Pearly Gates and can't wait to meet his favorite Saint, Joseph. Then Peter looks up at him and explains that he can't come into Heaven because he never prayed to God, Jesus, or the BVM (Blessed Virgin Mary). But, Peter says, he can at least let him meet St. Joseph before Bob is cast into the pit. So Peter texts Joseph to come on down.

St. Joseph shows up, sees Bob, whom he knows much about and says, "Bob! I'm thrilled to meet you. I saw you were coming in on the 10:15 express. Come on in, we'll have a few beers!" (Remember, this is a Catholic joke - so there is beer in Heaven.) Then Joseph sees that he's on the other side of the gates and turns toward Peter and says, "Pete, let this guy in!"

And Peter explains to Joseph why he can't let Bob into Heaven. Joseph is upset about this and says, "Peter, this is a good man. If he can't come into Heaven, I'm leaving." Well, Peter thought about this, realized Joseph is not exactly their most important saint and said, "And who will that inconvenience?" And Joseph says, "Pete, you don't understand. I'm a family man. If I leave, my wife and kid are coming with me."

(For those still struggling -- figure out who Joseph was married to - most Protestants forget that one.)

Wait, are you saying there's no beer in heaven for protestants!? I might have to rethink my denomination a bit

Well, this one is not exactly about God having a sense of humor, but I thought it was funny:

After getting all of Pope Benedict's luggage loaded into the limo (and he doesn't travel light), the driver notices the Pope is still standing on the curb.

'Excuse me, Your Holiness,' says the driver, 'Would you please take your seat so we can leave?'

'Well, to tell you the truth,' says the Pope, 'they never let me drive at the Vatican when I was a cardinal, and I'd really like to drive today.'

'I'm sorry, Your Holiness, but I cannot let you do that. I'd lose my job! What if something should happen?' protests the driver, wishing he'd never gone to work that morning..

'Who's going to tell?' says the Pope with a smile.

Reluctantly, the driver gets in the back as the Pope climbs in behind the wheel. The driver quickly regrets his decision when, after exiting the airport, the Pontiff floors it, acc acclerating the limo to 205 kph.. (Remember, the Pope is German..)

'Please slow down, Your Holiness!' pleads the worried driver, but the Pope keeps the pedal to the metal until they hear sirens.

'Oh, dear God, I'm going to lose my license -- and my job!' moans the driver.

The Pope pulls over and rolls down the window as the cop approaches,but the cop takes one look at him, goes back to his motorcycle, and gets on the radio.

'I need to talk to the Chief,' he says to the dispatcher.

The Chief gets on the radio and the cop tells him that he's stopped a limo going 205 kph.

'So bust him,' says the Chief.

'I don't think we want to do that, he's really important,' said the cop..

The Chief exclaimed,' All the more reason!'

'No, I mean really important,' said the cop with a bit of persistence.

The Chief then asked, 'Who do you have there, the mayor?'

Cop: 'Bigger.'

Chief: ' A senator?'

Cop: 'Bigger.'

Chief: 'The Prime Minister?'

Cop: 'Bigger.'

'Well,' said the Chief, 'who is it?'

Cop: 'I think it's God!'

The Chief is even more puzzled and curious, 'What makes you think it's God?'

Cop: 'His chauffeur is the Pope!'
