Sunday Groaner
Hold her hand
While out in the town, I saw an elderly couple holding hands while they were walking. As they approached,
I commented on how romantic it was.
He replied, "We have been holding hands when we go out in public for over thirty years. I have to. If I let go,
she shops."

The secret of a good sermon is to have a good beginning and a good ending;
and to have the two as close together as possible. - George Burns
Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint. - Mark Twain

Don't worry about avoiding temptation...as you grow older, it will avoid you. - Winston Churchill

If at first you DO succeed, try not to look astonished!

Ketchup
A woman was trying hard to get the ketchup to come out of the bottle. During her struggle the phone rang so she asked her four-year old daughter to answer it. "It's the vicar, Mum," the child said to her mother.
Then she told her caller: “Mummy can't come to the phone right now. She's hitting the bottle."
