One of the misconceptions about being a Christian is non-Christians think we don’t know how to have fun or have a sense of humor. Trust me, if the Big Guy can have a sense of humor when it comes to dealing with us mere mortals, so can we.

The difference for Christians is we don’t have to debase ourselves or others to generate a smile. Laughter at life or ourselves is a gift from God.

So, let’s smile a little!

Fun Answering Machine Messages

“Hi.” Now you say something.

Greetings, you have reached the Sixth Sense Detective Agency. We know who you are and what you want, so at the sound of the tone, please hang up.

Hello. I’m around now but cannot find the phone at the moment. Please leave a message and I will call you up as soon as I find it.

I can’t answer the phone now because I have amnesia and I feel stupid talking to people I don’t remember. I’d appreciate it if you could help me out by leaving my name and telling me something about myself. Thanks.

Hi. I’m probably around, but I’m just avoiding someone I don’t like. Leave me a message, and if I don’t call back, it’s you.

This is not voicemail. This is a telepathic thought-recording device. After the tone, think about your name, your reason for calling, and a number where I can reach you, and I’ll think about returning your call.

You’re growing tired. Your eyelids are getting heavy. You feel very sleepy now. You are gradually losing your willpower and your ability to resist suggestions. When you hear the tone, you will feel helplessly compelled to leave your name, number, and a message.

Roses are red, violets are cheap; leave your message after the beep.

And now for the bonus …

His New Church

A man who had been stranded on a deserted island for two years was at last found. The media accompanied the rescue team, and when they arrived saw the man had built three huts. When asked what the huts represented, the man explained. “Well, this hut is my home. And that hut over there is where I go to church.”

The reporters seemed moved by the revelation he had a place of worship. But then one asked, “What is that hut over there?”

“Oh, that’s where I used to go to church!”
