The joke's on the Devil...

There’s a very old tradition which says that the day after Easter Sunday is a day for telling jokes. Jesus’ rising from the dead, after all, is God’s great joke on the Devil. Now we get to join in the fun. So here are a few to share. Blessed Easter to you all!

A scientist was arguing with God that could make a human being just like God had made Adam. God took the challenge, knelt down in the dirt, and began molding it into the shape of a man. Likewise, the scientist knelt down and took some dirt into his hands. God, however, interrupted him: “Oh, no you don’t. You make your own dirt.”

GOOD SAMARITAN: A Sunday school teacher was telling her class the story of the Good Samaritan. She asked the class, 'If you saw a person lying on the roadside, all wounded and bleeding, what would you do?' A thoughtful little girl broke the hushed silence, 'I think I'd throw up.'

Billy Graham was returning to Charlotte after a speaking engagement. When his plane arrived, there was a limousine ready to transport him to his home. As he prepared to get into the limo, he stopped and spoke to the driver. "You know" he said, "I am 87 years old and I have never driven a limousine. Would you mind if I drove it for a while?" The driver said, "No problem. Have at it."

Billy gets into the driver's seat and they head off down the highway. A short distance away sat a rookie State Trooper operating his first speed trap. The long black limo went by him doing 70 in a 55 mph zone. The trooper pulled out and easily caught the limo, and got out of his patrol car to begin the procedure.

The young trooper walked up to the driver's door. When the window was rolled down he was surprised to see who was driving. He immediately excused himself and went back to his car and called his supervisor. He told the supervisor, "I know we are supposed to enforce the law, but I also know that important people are given certain courtesies. I need to know what I should do because I have stopped a very important person."

The supervisor asked, "Is it the governor?" The young Trooper said, "No, he's more important than that." The supervisor said, "Oh, so it's the president." The young trooper said, "No, he's even more important than that." The supervisor, exasperated, finally asked, "Well then, who is it?" The young trooper said, "I think it’s Jesus.”

“Jesus?” asked the supervisor. “Why, in heaven’s name, would you think it’s Jesus?”

“Because,” said the rookie, “he's got Billy Graham for a chauffeur.”
