The Tuesday Funnies...Christmas Humor

Recently, I decided to keep the Sunday Wrap Up blog running through Monday to give readers more opportunity to read about Sunday's happenings. But laughter is good medicine and we all need to laugh more especially during these hard economic times. So enjoy Tuesday's Funnies...the Christmas edition.

The strange Christmas scene

In a small southern town there was a "Nativity Scene" that showed great skill and talent had gone into creating it. One small feature bothered me.

The three wise men were wearing firemen's helmets.

Totally unable to come up with a reason or explanation, I left. At a "Quik Stop" on the edge of town, I asked the lady behind the counter about the helmets. She exploded into a rage, yelling at me, "You stupid Yankees never do read the Bible!" I assured her that I did, but simply couldn't recall anything about firemen in the Bible.

She jerked her Bible from behind the counter and ruffled through some pages, and finally jabbed her finger at a passage. Sticking it in my face she said "See, it says right here, 'The three wise man came from afar.'"

Make it a great week!
