A husband and wife got into a petty argument. Neither of them would admit the possibility that the other might be in error.

To her credit, the wife finally said, “Look. I’ll admit I’m wrong if you admit I was right.”

With a big grin, her husband replied, “You’re right.”

Funny Friday Quote: Childhood Sweethearts

Funny Friday Quote:  Childhood Sweethearts

A couple, who were childhood sweethearts, had married and lived in the neighborhood where they grew up.

Because it was close to their 50th wedding anniversary, the couple decided to visit their old school.  After a half hour reminiscing, the couple left home to walk home.

Suddenly, a bag of money fell out of an armored car, landing at their feet.  “Let’s take it home and then contact the authorities,” the wife said.  At home, she counted the money:  there was 5 million dollars in the bag!

“We’ve got to turn it in,” the husband said.

“Finders keepers,” his wife said greedily, promptly heading to the attic to hide the money.

The next day, two FBI men showed up at their door.  “Excuse me, but did either of you find any money that fell out of an armored car yesterday?”

“No,” the wife said quickly.

“She’s lying!!” the husband interjected.

“Don’t believe him, he’s getting senile.”

“Sir, start from the beginning,” the agent said.

“Well,” the husband began, “when we were walking home from school yesterday….”

The FBI agents looked at each other in alarm and said, “Let’s get out of here!!” [Jim Kraus]

In Jesus Name I pray,

Amen

Funny Friday Quote:  Who’s Driving?

Two elderly women were out driving.  Cruising along, they came to an intersection.  The stoplight was red, but the driver kept going.  Alarmed the passenger thought, I must be losing it.  I could have sworn we just went through a red light.

They came to another red light.  Again, they drove right through.  Again, the passenger questioned her sanity, but kept quiet.  Still, she was getting nervous.

At the 3rd intersection, sure enough, it happened again.  The passenger couldn’t let it go this time.  She turned to her friend and said, “Mildred, did you know that we just ran 3 red lights in a row?  You could have killed us both!”

Mildred said, “Oh my!  Am I driving?”
