A missionary in a remote jungle outpost found himself face to face with a ferocious lion. Knowing he was doomed for certain, he kneeled down and said his prayers. To his astonishment, the lion, too, kneeled quietly. 'Praise God! This is a miracle!' the joyous missionary shouted. 'Quiet!' growled the lion, 'I'm saying grace ...'
When Thomas Edison invented the lightbulb, he had trouble selling it. People just didn't trust this 'new' way of making light. In order to promote his idea, he decided to go around the country and install lights in different towns to drum up publicity. While in Oklahoma, Edison stopped by an Indian reservation and offered to put lights in any building they wanted. After much thought, the Indian chief decided that he wanted lights in his outhouse so he could see what he was doing at night. This made him the first man to wire a head for a reservation!
A hillbilly boy and his Father were visiting a mall for the first time. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny, silver walls that could move apart and back together again. The boy asked his father, 'What is this Father?'. The Father responded, 'Son, I have never seen anything like this in my life; I don't know what it is!'.
While the boy and his father were watching wide-eyed, an old lady in a wheelchair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls opened, and the lady rolled between them into a small room. The walls closed, and the boy and his father watched small circles of lights with numbers above the walls light up. They continued to watch the circles light up in the reverse direction. The walls opened up again, and a beautiful 24-year-old woman stepped out.
The Father said to his son, 'Go get your Mother'.
