SOME RELIGIOUS HUMOR (In honor of Midsummers) THE RULE OF THUMB FOR COVENS One witch = one coven Two witches = one coven newsletter Three witches = two covens NEW AGE What's the difference between witchcraft and the New Age Movement? A decimal point. (Don't get it? Witchcraft classes are supposed to be free. New Age materials are anything but!) LIGHTBULBS How many pagans does it take to change a lightbulb? None. Pagans don't believe in interfering and the lightbulb would have to take responsibility for changing itself. THE FLIGHT TO EGYPT A small boy in Sunday School was asked to draw a picture of something he'd learned in church. He painstakingly drew a simple airplane -- fuselage, wings, propellor, and three circles on top for heads: a big circle, a little circle, and another big one. The teacher asked what he'd drawn. "This is the flight to Egypt," he replied. Amused, the teacher asked about the circles: "And who are the three people?" "Well," the boy said, "It's Mary and the Baby, plus Pontius, the Pilot." THE FLIGHT FROM EGYPT The same little boy came back from Sunday School and was asked by his mother what they'd studied that morning. "It was a great war story," he told his mother, "about Moses and the escape of the Children of Israel from Egypt. Pharaoh sent his entire army after them, with tanks and cannons and machine guns. When the Israelites got to the Red Sea, Moses sent his engineers out to build a pontoon bridge all the way across the sea. Then, after the Israelites got over, he had his sappers put landmines all along the bridge. Then, when Pharaoh's army got halfway across the sea, Moses pushed down the detonator and blew up all of Pharaoh's tanks." "Now, Johnny!" his mother said, "they didn't really teach you that in Sunday School did they?" "Nah," he said, "but you wouldn't believe the cock-and- bull story they did tell us!" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
