  The Old Preacher

  An old preacher was dying. He sent a message for his doctor and
  his lawyer, both church members, to come to his home. When they
  arrived, they were ushered up to his bedroom.
                                                      .---.
  As they entered the room the preacher held        /`___ /`\
  out his hands and motioned for them to sit,       \| _ _ |/
  one on each side of his bed. The preacher         (  '/'  )
  grasped their hands, sighed contentedly, smiled    \  -  /
  and stared at the ceiling. For a time, no one       ;---;
  said anything. Both the doctor and lawyer were    /'. _ .'\
  touched and flattered that the preacher would   .`-._|_|_.-`.
  ask them to be with him during his final       /    \   /    \
  moments.                                    jgs      `|'
                                                       -|-
  They were also puzzled; the preacher had never        |
  given them any indication that he particularly
  liked either of them. They both remembered his many long, uncom-
  fortable sermons about greed, covetousness and avaricious
  behavior that made them squirm in their seats.

  Finally, the doctor said, "Preacher, why did you ask us to come?
  The old preacher mustered up his  strength, then said weakly,
  "Jesus died between two thieves.. and that's how I want to go."

  Be Polite

  There were two bulls, a young one named George and an old one named
  Sam.  It was that time of year to satisfy the local female popula-
  tion, and young George was pretty excited.

  "Sam, Sam, can I go down to those heifers over there?" asked
  George.

  "George, relax. Here is how it works. We'll wait until they're
  lined up at the feed trough so we can have our way with the ladies
  in a nice orderly fashion." said Sam.

  "Okay, I can do that." George answered.

           ,/         \,   Well, feeding time came and all the
          ((__,-"""-,__))  heifers were lined up just like Sam
           `--)~   ~(--`   said and George was all excited to go
          .-'(       )`-,  down there, but Sam had a few more
          `~~`d\   /b`~~`  instructions.
              |     |
         jgs  (6___6)      "Now George, here is how this is gonna
               `---`       work. I'll start at one end and you can
                           start at the other. We'll meet in the
                           middle" said Sam.

  "OK, OK, let's go!" said George.

  "Hang on George!. One more important thing to remember. These
  gals will let us have our way but you have to show some respect
  and be polite. OK?" said Sam.

  "Sure" says George.

  Well, they go on down to the heifers all lined up. George starts
  at one end and Sam at the other. George is pretty excited, but
  he remember's Sam's instructions about being polite, so as he is
  going along he makes sure to say "Thank you ma'am, thank you
  ma'am, thank you ma'am, thank you ma'am, thank you ma'am,
  sorry Sam, thank you ma'am."
