Rewiring
Rewiring
Because our former small-town parish
was not a wealthy one, our pastor was dependent on parishioners for
upkeep and maintenance of the church.
Once he asked my husband, Sam, to
rewire the confessionals.
The only way to reach the wiring was to enter the attic above the altar and crawl over the ceiling by balancing on the rafters.

Concerned for my husband's safety, I
waited in a pew.
Unbeknownst to me, some parishioners
were congregating in the vestibule. They paid little attention to me,
probably assuming I was praying.
Worried about my husband, I looked up
toward the ceiling and yelled, "Sam, Sam, are you up there? Did you
make it okay?"
There was quite an outburst from the
vestibule when Sam's hearty voice echoed down, "Yes, I made it up here
just fine!"

Obama Changes Name to Obama-Wan Kenobi After Rove Leaves White House
THE DEATH STAR --- Barak Obama made the shocking announcement that he is changing his name to Obama-Wan Kenobi now that Karl Rove has left the White House. He claims to have felt a disturbance in "the force" when Rove left.
"I don't know how to explain it," said Obama-Wan. "I just like felt a disturbance or something in the Force. My wife thinks it was just the chili dog I had for lunch, but I believe it was much, much more. It happened the moment I heard that Karl Rove had resigned. I just felt an enormous disturbance in the Force, and I puked all over my shoes. I think this means I'm Jedi Knight. To have felt such a profound impact by Darth Rove leaving could only be explained by my Jedi roots. With my new Jedi powers, I plan to use Jedi mind tricks to stop the war in Iraq. I will use the Force to create more social programs than stars in the sky. I will use the Chewbacca Defense if anyone ever accuses me of wrongdoing. In fact, Hairy Reed can be the new Chewbacca. Hillary can be Princess Leia. And Ted Kennedy can be Jabba the Hut. This is going to be awesome. I am the new Jedi ruler of the world. Unless it really was just a bad chili dog. But I'm pretty sure it was the Force."
