One last chuckle for the week.

Real Estate Broker/Owner with WHISPERING PINES REALTY 20398180

I won't be so bold as to say why, but this hits really close to home today.  Way to close!

A man sobering up after a long night of partying is sitting in church and finds the sermon very boring.  He is having a hard time staying awake and finally nods off.

The minister noticing this from the start decides to make an example of him.  At the end of the sermon, he says...

"Everyone who wants a place in heaven, stand up."  All but the sleeping man stands.

Then in a very loud voice the minister bellows..." all who want a place in Hell, STAND UP!"

Just hearing the very last part the sleeping man stands.  He looks around, confused and finally says,

"Pastor, I don't know what we are voting for, but it looks like we are the only ones for it."

And so ends another week!

Bill the last men standing is usually an honor bestowed upon the very few...who knew the priesthood was a guaranteed admission.

And that's why you always get a good night of sleep if you're headed to church the next morning.

William:  Very funny.  I worked a night job in college, and I fell sleep in class more than I care to remember.  Some thing like this happened to me once.  Every one else got a good laugh.   Now, all these years later I think it was funny.
