Three police officers were standing in line at the Pearly Gates. Saint Peter asked the first officer, “What did you do with your life?”
“I was a police officer,” he responded.
“What kind of police officer?” Saint Peter asked.
“I was a vice officer. I kept drugs off the streets and out of the hands of kids.”
“Welcome to heaven. You may enter the gates.”
He asked the second man what he did as a police officer. “I was a traffic officer,” said the man. “I kept the roads and highways safe.”
“Welcome to heaven. You may enter the gates.”
He asked the third man what he did as a police officer. “I was a military policeman, sir,” replied the man.
“Wonderful! I’ve been waiting for you all day!” replied Saint Peter. “I need to take a break! Watch the gate, will you?”
During the school year, the public library where I work is open on Sunday afternoons. Signs posted around the library read, Sunday service available 1:30-5:00, September-June. One day a woman was returning some books when she noticed one of these signs.
"Oh, you have Sunday service now?" she asked me.
"Yes, from 1:30 to 5:00, September through June," I explained.
"I see," she said. "And what denomination is it?"
Notice sent to residents of a Whiltshire parish:
DUE TO INCREASING PROBLEMS WITH VANDALS WE MUST ASK ANYONE WITH RELATIVES BURIED IN THE GRAVEYARD TO DO THEIR BEST TO KEEP THEM IN ORDER.
The police just pulled me over, he came up to my window and said, “Papers?”
I replied, “Scissors, I win” and drove off.
I think he wants a re-match because he’s been following me for 45 minutes.
