Marvin Patterson
Matthew 22:23-33
Grandpa Jones was celebrating his 100th birthday and everybody complimented him on how athletic and well-preserved he appeared. "Gentlemen, I will tell you the secret of my success," he cackled. "I have been in the open air day after day for some 75 years now."

"Well, you see my wife and I were married 75 years ago. On our wedding night, we made a solemn pledge. Whenever we had a fight, the one who was proved wrong would go outside and take a walk."
A man has six children and is very proud of his achievement. He is so proud of himself that he starts calling his wife "Mother of Six" in spite of her objections.

His wife, irritated by her husbands' lack of discretion shouts back...
"Anytime you're ready, Father of Four!"

The ancient Greeks would be buried with a coin in the mouth so they could pay the fare over the mystic river of death and enter into the next life. The Eskimos were buried with a sled dog so they would have help crossing over into the afterlife. So there is engrained within mankind a desire t ...
