JEST FOR A LAUGH:   

THE LAWS OF LIFE . . .

The Law of Mechanical Repair

After your hands become coated with grease, your nose will begin to itch.

The Law of the Workshop

Any tool, when dropped, will roll to the least accessible corner.

The Law of the Telephone

If you dial a wrong number, you never get a busy signal.

The Law of the Bath

When the body is fully immersed in water, the telephone wrings.

Have a wonderful week!

Pastor Paul
