A young pastor was sitting in a restaurant eating lunch. He opened a letter he’d just received that morning from his mom. As he opened it, a twenty-dollar bill fell out. He thought to himself, Thanks, Mom, I sure needed that right now. As he finished his feel, he noticed a beggar outside on the sidewalk leaning against the light post. Thinking that the poor man could probably use the twenty dollars more than he, he crossed out the names on the envelope and wrote across the top in large letters, PERSEVERE! So as not to make a scene, he put the envelope under his arm and dropped it as he walked past the man.
The man picked it up and read the message and smiled. The next day, as the pastor enjoyed his meal, the same man tapped him on the shoulder and handed him a big wad of bills.
Surprised, the young pastor asked him what that was for. The man replied, “This is your half of the winnings. Persevere came in first in the fourth race at the track yesterday and paid thirty to one!”

A young man couldn’t decide which girl to marry. He liked one girl, but he really liked another one named Maria, too. He decided to ask his friend for advice.
“How do you make important decisions?” he asked his friend. “Well, I go to church,” replied his friend. “Then I look up and pray and usually the answer just comes to me.”
The young man decided to try just that. He went to church, looked up to pray, and the answer was written in gold above a stained-glass window.
It said: AVE MARIA!
Q: What did the lions say to his cubs when he taught them to hunt?

In pharmacology, all drugs have two names – a trade name and a generic name.
For example, the trade name of Tylenol is acetaminophen. Aleve is known as naproxen; Amoxil is amoxicillin, and Advil is ibuprofen.
The FDA has been looking for a generic name for VIAGRA. After consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced it has settled on the generic name of mycoxafloppin. Also considered were mycoxafailin, mydixadrupin, mydixarizin, mydixadud, dixafix, and of course, ibepokin!
“I have the world’s largest collection of seashells…
You may have seen it.
I keep it scattered on the beaches all over!”
The long-term implications of drugs and medical procedures must be fully considered: Over the past few years, more money has been spent on breast implants and Viagra than was spent on Alzheimer’s research.
It is generally believed that by the year 2030, there will be a large number of people wandering around with huge breasts and erections who can’t remember what to do with them!
The marriage between the elderly farmer and his young wife was not working out too well, so the farmer consulted his doctor for advice.
“The next time you’re down in the field plowing and feel a yearning for your wife don’t wait until lunchtime or the end of the day, but quit what you’re doing and go to the house,” said the doctor.
“I tried but it didn’t work,” said the farmer.
The doctor thought for a minute, “Take your shotgun with you when you leave the house in the morning and if you feel the urge, shoot the gun and she will come down there where you are.”
A few weeks later the two men met on the street.
“How did it work out?” asked the doctor.
“Fine, the first three days,” said the farmer, “But then the hunting season opened and I haven’t seen her since!”
