Tom’s Golf Cart Wreck

The pastor asked if anyone in the congregation would like to express Praise for answered prayers. A lady stood and walked to the podium.

She said, “I have a Praise. Two months ago, my husband, Tom, had a terrible golf cart wreck and his scrotum was completely crushed. The pain was excruciating and the doctors didn’t know if they could help him.”

You could hear a muffled gasp from the men in the congregation as they imagined the pain that poor Tom must have experienced.

“Tom was unable to hold me or the children,” she went on, “and every move caused him terrible pain. We prayed as the doctors performed a delicate operation, and it turned out they were able to piece together the crushed remnants of Tom’s scrotum, and wrap wire around it to hold it in place .”

Again, the men in the congregation were unnerved and squirmed uncomfortably as they imagined the horrible surgery performed on Tom.

“Now,” she announced in a quavering voice, thank the Lord, Tom is out of the hospital and the doctors say that with time, his scrotum should recover completely.”

All the men sighed with relief.

The pastor rose and tentatively asked if anyone else had something to say.

A man stood up and walked slowly to the podium.

He said, “I’m Tom.”

The entire congregation held its breath.

“I just want to tell my wife that the word is ‘sternum’.”

Ways To Get Back At Your Neighbor

1. Allow your own home to fall into disrepair, thereby lowering your neighbor’s property value.

2. Dig a tunnel underneath your neighbor’s house, and expand it until the hole is the size of the home’s foundation; then, watch with glee as your neighbor’s house collapses into the hole. Get out of the hole first though.

3. Call and have pizzas delivered to your neighbor’s home. When he refuses to pay, tell the pizza man, “I’ll take em, put em on my card.” Then give him your neighbor’s credit card number, which you stole somehow.

4. Pee on your lawn so it trickles into your neighbor’s lawn. No one can stop you.

5. Ask your neighbor who he voted for. Then say, “I voted for the other guy.” When he gets angry at your political preference, tell him, “Just kidding, I voted for the same guy you did. But now you insulted me so I’m voting for the other guy next time.” His guilt will eat him alive.

6. Hire Megadeth to perform in your backyard late at night. Don’t invite your neighbor (a big fan).

7. Does your neighbor have pets? Not any more, if you know what we mean.

8. Your neighbor comes home one day to find all of his furniture on his front lawn, painstakingly arranged in the exact same way it had been inside his house. While he’s looking at that you hit him with a water balloon.

9. If you see your neighbor’s wife having s ex with a dog, get it on tape.

10. When your neighbor tells you he’s going to Home Depot to get new batteries for his smoke alarms, reassure him, “No need. I made sure all your smoke alarms were working properly, just yesterday.” As he thanks you, an almost imperceptible smile plays across your lips.

11. Get your pack of disorderly hound dogs to steal his Christmas turkey.

12. Paint your house garish neon yellow and hot magenta.

13. Let the air out of their tires of their car.

14. Poor bleach into their garden

15. Get a bunch of yapping Chihuahuas. Works every time! I have 9 dogs total, and a city Kennel License so they are all legal. Longest a neighbor last next door is a year and a half.

16. Dump your trash in his garbage can. Also fun: the night before garbage day, after he puts his garbage can on the curb/alley, remove his garbage can lids and let the raccoons have at it all night long. His driveway/backlane will be a mess the morning after.

17. Re-paint the lines of his parking stall, inch by inch closer over a period of months. Eventually the space will be too narrow for him to park.

18. Have an artist friend draw a police sketch of your neighbor. Put up posters of his picture with the words “HAVE YOU SEEN THIS MAN?” all over the building.

19. My upstairs neighbors have 3 elementary school kids who run, scream, and slam the patio doors until after midnight. They will deny it’s their kids even though you can see the little bastards through their open windows. My husband knocked on their door last week to tell them to knock it off…they denied it was them. Neighbor decided to tell us he was a good Christian man and mentioned us being “satanistic”. I’m guessing he saw the husband’s 666 tattoo…he doesn’t love Satan but he does love Death Metal. The next morning at 4 am I got some of my soft art chalks and drew Satanic symbols on the concrete in front of their door. It was washed off by 9 am the same morning. We haven’t heard a peep from them; their kids must be staying somewhere else and they won’t make eye contact with me. Hmmm…

20. My mom spray painted “Die Yuppie Scum” in giant puke-green letters on our roof, so that the enormous condo which now towers over her would have an appropriate view. Senor Condo-owner then called the police and told them my mother was running a crack house (if only!), so next time I was in town I filled a super-soaker with my own pee, let it fester in the garage for a week or so to get extra gamey, and then sprayed down his entryway one night. To this day he thinks it was vagrants and he got extra bolts on his door. I feel pretty good about the whole thing.

21. Introduce his 16 year old daughter to the joys of an experienced man?

22. Deal with super bitchy downstairs neighbor by becoming co-op board president. Enjoy watching her grovel for small favors, and also enjoy making her pay for massive building renovations.

23. If your neighbor is a religious type or married you can sign them up for Hustler/Playgirl as appropriate. I know for a fact that this works well.

Take This Job And Shove It

This is a letter, reportedly dictated to a letter-writer in 1865 by one Jordan Anderson, former slave and then-current stableman, to former slave owner P.H. Anderson of Wilson County, Tenn.

The letter appeared in the Aug. 22, 1865 issue of the New York Daily Tribune, apparently in response to letter P.H. Anderson sent Jordan Anderson, suggesting that Jordan and his family ought to come back and work on the old plantation.

I got your letter, and was glad to find that you had not forgotten Jordan, and that you wanted me to come back and live with you again, promising to do better for me than any body else can. I have often felt uneasy about you. I thought the Yankees would have hung you before this, for harboring Rebs they found at your house. I suppose they never heard about your going to Colonel Martin’s to kill the Union soldier that was left by his company in their stable.

Say howdy to George Carter, and thank him for taking the pistol from you when you were shooting at me.
