Father Murphy walked into a pub in Donegal and said to the first man he met, “Do you want to go to heaven?”
The man immediately replied, “I do, Father.”
The priest pointed toward the door and said firmly, “Then leave this pub right now!”
Without another word, the man hurried out.
Father Murphy then approached a second man and asked, “Do you want to go to heaven?”
“Certainly, Father,” the man answered.
“Then leave this den of Satan at once,” the priest declared.
The man quickly finished his sip and rushed outside.
Finally, Father Murphy walked over to O’Toole, who had been quietly watching the entire exchange.
“Do you want to go to heaven?” the priest asked.
“No, I don’t, Father,” O’Toole replied calmly.
The pub fell silent.
The priest stared at him in disbelief.
“You mean to tell me that when you die, you don’t want to go to heaven?”
O’Toole looked around the room, smiled, and said, “Oh, when I die, yes, Father.”
The priest frowned.
“Then what do you mean?”
O’Toole raised his glass and chuckled.
“I thought you were getting a group together to go right now.”
A Sunday School teacher of pre-schoolers was concerned that his students might be a little confused about Jesus Christ because of all the Christmas season emphasis on His birth.
He wanted to make sure they understood that Jesus was born a long time ago, grew up, and continued His work.
So he asked the class, “Where is Jesus today?”
Steven eagerly raised his hand.
“He’s in heaven.”
“Very good,” said the teacher.
Mary was next.
“He’s in my heart.”
“Excellent answer.”
Then Little Johnny began waving his hand so furiously that he nearly fell out of his chair.
“I know! I know!”
The teacher sighed and called on him.
“Where is Jesus today, Johnny?”
“He’s in our bathroom!”
The classroom instantly went silent.
A few children gasped.
One girl dropped her crayon.
The teacher blinked twice, completely unsure how to respond.
After several awkward seconds, he finally asked, “Johnny… how do you know Jesus is in your bathroom?”
Johnny shrugged.
“Well, every morning my dad pounds on the bathroom door and yells, ‘Jesus Christ, are you still in there?!’”
A man is trying to understand the nature of God, time, and the Universe.
So he asks God, “How long is a billion years to you?”
God replies, “A billion years is like a second to me.”
The man nods thoughtfully.
“Then how much is a billion dollars to you?”
God answers, “A billion dollars is like a penny to me.”
The man smiles.
“Well then, God, can I have a penny?”
God smiles back.
“In a sec.”

A police car pulled up in front of Grandma Bessie’s house.
Out stepped Grandpa Morris, accompanied by a young officer.
The officer politely explained, “Ma’am, your husband said he got lost in the park and couldn’t find his way home.”
Grandma Bessie stared at Morris in disbelief.
“Lost?”
She folded her arms.
“You’ve been going to that park for over 30 years! How on earth did you get lost today?”
The officer waited for an explanation.
Morris leaned closer to his wife and whispered so only she could hear:
“I wasn’t lost.”
“You weren’t?”
“No.”
“Then what happened?”
Morris sighed dramatically.
“I was just too tired to walk home.”
A policeman pulls over an old man driving a pickup truck with the bed overflowing with ducks.
The officer says sternly, “Sir, you can’t have a flock of ducks wandering around downtown. Take them to the zoo immediately!”
The old man nods obediently.
“Absolutely, Officer.”
The next day, the officer spots the same pickup truck.
The ducks are still there.
Only now every single one of them is wearing sunglasses.
The officer slams on his brakes, pulls the truck over, and marches up to the driver.
“I thought I told you to take those ducks to the zoo!”
The old man grins.
“I did.”
“You did?”
“Sure did.”
The officer points at the ducks.
“Then why are they still here?”
The old man shrugs.
“Well, we had such a good time at the zoo that today they wanted to go to the beach.”

A cowboy, fresh from Texas, strolls into a bar in Montana and orders three mugs of Bud.
The bartender serves him.
The cowboy carries all three mugs to a corner table.
He takes a sip from one, then the second, then the third, repeating the cycle until all three are empty.
Curious, the bartender walks over.
“You know, beer goes flat pretty fast after it’s poured. It might taste better if you ordered one at a time.”
The cowboy smiles.
“I’ve got two brothers. One lives in Arizona and the other in Colorado. Before we left Texas, we promised that whenever any of us had a beer, we’d drink one for each brother too.”
The bartender nods.
“That’s actually kind of touching.”
For months the cowboy becomes a regular.
Every visit, three beers.
Every round, the same ritual.
Then one evening he walks in and orders only two.
The entire bar notices.
Whispers spread.
The bartender’s face falls.
When the cowboy returns for another round, the bartender gently says:
“I’m very sorry for your loss.”
The cowboy looks puzzled.
“My loss?”
The bartender points at the two beers.
The cowboy suddenly bursts out laughing.
“Oh, no! Nobody died.”
The whole bar sighs in relief.
“Then why only two beers?”
“Well,” the cowboy says, “my wife and I joined the Baptist Church.”
The bartender nods respectfully.
“So you quit drinking?”
“Exactly.”
He points to the two mugs.
“But my brothers are still going strong.”
LOL!!
Hope this joke will make you smile! Have a nice day!!
An Old Cowboy Gets 3 Wishes
A modern-day old cowboy has spent many days crossing the desert without water.
The scorching sun beats down relentlessly.
His lips are cracked.
His strength is gone.
Certain that death is near, he notices something sticking out of the sand several yards ahead.
With his last bit of energy, he crawls toward it.
To his surprise, it appears to be an old briefcase.
He pulls it free, wipes away the sand, and opens it.
Suddenly—POOF!
Out pops a genie.
But this is no ordinary genie.
She wears an AUSTRALIAN TAXATION OFFICE badge, a dull grey dress, and carries a calculator.
A pencil is tucked neatly behind one ear.
“Well, old cowboy,” she says. “You know how this works. You get three wishes.”
The cowboy narrows his eyes.
“I’m not falling for this.”
The genie sighs.
“Why not?”
“Because you’re an ATO auditor genie.”
The genie shrugs.
“What do you have to lose? You’re stranded in the desert, dying of thirst, and have no transportation.”
The old cowboy thinks about it.
She had a point.
“Alright then. First wish—I want to be in a lush oasis filled with food and drink.”
SHAZAM!
Instantly he finds himself surrounded by palm trees, sparkling water, jugs of wine, and platters of delicious food.
“Excellent,” says the genie. “Second wish?”
“I want to be rich beyond my wildest dreams.”
SHAZAM!
Treasure chests appear everywhere.
Gold coins.
Diamonds.
Rare gems.
Mountains of wealth.
The genie nods.
“One wish left. Make it count.”
The cowboy thinks for several long minutes.
Finally he smiles.
“I wish that no matter where I go, beautiful women will want me and need me.”
The genie grins.
“Interesting choice.”
SHAZAM!
The cowboy instantly turns into a t-a.mpon.
Moral of the story:
If the government offers you anything, there’s probably going to be a string attached.

How Much Money Did I Have?
Puzzles come in many forms.
Some challenge your math skills.
Others test your observation.
And some are designed to trick your assumptions.
Here is one of those riddles.
The riddle says:
I had 13 dollars.
My mom gave me 10 dollars while my dad gave me 30 dollars.
My aunt and uncle gave me 100 dollars.
I had another 5 dollars.
How much money did I have?
A
B
C
Here Is the Correct Answer
Have you figured it out?
Most people rush to add all the numbers together.
But the trick is hidden in the wording.
The question does not ask how much money you received.
It asks:
“How much money DID I have?”
The correct answer is 18 dollars.
You originally had 13 dollars and another 5 dollars.
13 + 5 = 18.
Everything else was money given to you later.
A simple riddle—but one that catches many people the first time.
Clever, right?
Think carefully and read every word.
Sometimes the answer is hiding in plain sight.
