A young man interviewing for his first church was askd by the chairman of
the pulpit committee,  "Son , do you know the bible?"

"Yes, sir.  I really know the Bible,"  he said.

"What part of the Bible do you know best?"

"Well," he said, "I know the New Testament the best."

The chairman said,  "Why don't  you just tell us something you know from
the Bible.  For instance, why don't you just tell us the story of the
Prodigal Son."

The young man said, "All right".

"There was a man of the Parisees naned Nicodemus who went down to Jericho
by night, and he fell upon stony ground and the thorns choked him half to
death.  kThe next morning Solomon and his wife, Gomorrah, came by, and
carried him down to the ark for Moses to take care of him.  But as he
was going through the eastern gate into the ark, he caught his hair in a
limb and he hung there for forty days and forty nights.  And afterward he
hungered, and the ravens came and fed him. The next day the three wise
men came and carried him down to the boat dock, and he caught a ship to
Ninevah; and when he got there, he found Delilah sitting on a wall, and
he said, "Chunk her down, boys."  They said "How many times shall we chunk her down?  Till seven times seven?'"  And he said, "Nay, but untill
seventy times seven."  So they chunked her down 490 times.  She brust assunder in their midst, and they picked up twelve baskets of the
fragments.  And in the resurrection, whose wife will she be?"

The chairman said, "Fellows, I think we ought to call him; he's young,
but he really knows his Bible."


Somehow, this sometimes is too true-to-life.  Have a Nyuk-Nyuk anyway!
