Sunday Funnies
A Minister was walking down the street when he came upon a group of boys surrounding a dog. All the boys were between the ages of ten and twelve.
Concerned the boys might be hurting the dog, he asked, "What are you doing with that dog?"
One of the boys replied, "This dog is the old neighborhood stray. We all want him, but only one of us can take him home. So we've decided that whoever can tell the biggest lie gets to keep the dog."
Of course, the reverend was shocked. “You boys shouldn't be having a contest telling lies!" he exclaimed, "Why, when I was your age, I never told a lie."
There was dead silence for about a minute. As the reverend was beginning to think he had gotten through to them, the smallest boy gave a deep sigh and said, "All right, give him the dog."

Good story Ralph, I really enjoyed the pre-blogstock story about you and Cliff gettin' slapped around by the state trooper, guess I just have an unusual sense of humor.
Great story, Ralph.
And it could be so true. Children are so perceptive.
Cute story Ralph. You always make me chuckle! Hey, you seem to be my only reader lately! Thanks for being so loyal!
Yes, that's a good one.
Now that was a new story for me. Good one.
Funny tale, with the ring of plausibility about it. ~ Deb
