As a young minister, I was asked by a funeral director to hold
a grave-side service for a homeless man with no family or friends.
The funeral was to be held at a cemetery way back in the country
and this man would be the first to be laid to rest there.

As I was not familiar with the backwoods area, I became lost; and
being a typical man did not stop for directions. I finally arrived
an hour late. I saw the backhoe and the crew, who was eating lunch,
but the hearse was nowhere in sight.

I apologized to the workers for my tardiness, and stepped to the
side of the open grave, where I saw the vault lid already in place.
I assured the workers I would not hold them up for long, but this
was the proper thing to do. The workers gathered around, still
eating their lunch. I poured out my heart and soul.

As I preached the workers began to say "Amen," "Praise the Lord,"
and "Glory," I preached, and I preached, like I'd never preached
before: from Genesis all the way to Revelations. I closed the
lengthy service with a prayer and walked to my car.

As I was opening the door and taking off my coat, I overheard
one of the workers saying to another, "I ain't never seen anything
like that before and I've been putting in septic tanks for twenty
years."

Heeyuk heeyuk heeyuk! <slaps knee> Yep - that there
was a good 'un, jim-bob! Heeyuk!


I bet you live in a city, right?

The "joke" is stupid, cornpone and "safe", no matter where anyone lives, jimmee. You can see the nature of the punchline, if not the actual punchline itself, coming long before it gets there. It just isn't any good.

Here's a good joke, jimmee. See if you can figure out why it's good. I'm certain you can't.

The Toughest Cowboy

Three cowboys are sitting around a campfire, out on the
lonesome prairie, each with the bravado for which cowboys are famous. A night of tall tales begins. The first says, "I must be the meanest, toughest cowboy there is. Why, just the other day, a bull got loose in the corral and gored six men before I wrestled it to the ground, by the horns, with my bare hands."

The second can't stand to be bested. "Why that's nothing. I was walking down the trail yesterday and a fifteen foot rattler slid out from under a rock and made a move for me. I grabbed that snake with my bare hands, bit its head off, and sucked the poison down in one gulp. And I'm still here today."

The third cowboy remained silent, slowly stirring the coals with his penis.....
