On vacation with her family in Montana, a mother drove her
van past a church in a small town and pointing to it, told
the children that it was St. Francis' Church.

"It must be a franchise," her eight-year-old son said.
"We've got one of those in our town too."

A faithful couple got the bad news from their doctor.  They
couldn't have any children.  On the way home from the
Doctor they were led to drop by to see their pastor to ask
for prayer.

The Pastor ran an auto repair shop on the side, so they
dropped by the shop.  After they explained the situation,
the pastor was led to pray for them on the spot.  He looked
around, grabbed a can of three-in-one oil and quickly
blessed it to anoint them.

Sure enough about 9 months later they had triplets.  The
couple once again showed up at the pastor's study and as
soon as the woman saw the pastor she ran up to him, threw
her arms around him and gave him the biggest hug.

"What was that all about"?  He asked.

She replied "I'm just glad you used three-in-one oil and
not WD-40."

She looked like such a sweet little old lady, driving the
cute Toyota with a bumper sticker that said:
"Get your own dope."
How sweet, I thought, must be a medical marijuana patient.

Then I noticed the rest of her message:

Blood Alcohol Record Of "Highly
Intoxicated" Oregon Motorist

Police today identified the DUI suspect as Nathan Danzuka,
28. Danzuka, pictured below, was arrested last year for DUI
and reckless endangering, according to jail records.

In what appears to be a new record for extreme DUI, a
motorist’s blood alcohol content was measured at .77--more
than nine times the legal limit--after he crashed his car
following a short police chase Friday afternoon, Oregon
cops report.

According to investigators, the driver--who has not been
named pending the filing of criminal charges--was involved
in a hit-and-run in Madras, a city 125 miles southeast of
Portland.

Upon locating the suspect vehicle, a Ford Explorer, cops
sought to pull over the driver, but he sped away. A short
chase ended when the man, who cops described as “HIGHLY
intoxicated,” lost control of his car and crashed into a
concrete barrier.

The driver was subsequently transported to a local hospital
for a medical evaluation. A blood sample taken from the
suspect was tested and showed his blood alcohol level was
.778. The state’s legal limit is .08.

Officers observed “several alcoholic beverage containers
within the vehicle,” according to the Warm Springs Police
Department.

The motorist, who is facing multiple criminal charges, was
driving on a suspended license due to a prior DUI
conviction.

Previously, the highest BACs reported in these pages were
the .72 recorded by an Oregon woman in 2007 and the .708
recorded by a South Dakota woman in 2009.

A woman arrived at the Gates of Heaven. While she was
waiting for Saint Peter to greet her, she peeked through
the gates. She saw a beautiful banquet table. Sitting all
around were her parents and all the other people she had
loved and who had died before her.

They saw her and began calling greetings to her "Hello -
How are you! We've been waiting for you! Good to see you."

When Saint Peter came by, the woman said to him, "This is
such a wonderful place! How do I get in?"

"You have to spell a word," Saint Peter told  her.

"Which word?" the woman asked.

"Love."

The woman correctly spelled "Love" and Saint Peter welcomed
her into Heaven.

About a year later, Saint Peter came to the woman and asked

her to watch the Gates of Heaven for him that day. While
the woman was guarding the Gates of Heaven, her husband
arrived.

"I'm surprised to see you," the woman said. "How have you
been?"

"Oh, I've been doing pretty well since you died," her
husband told her. "I married the beautiful young nurse who
took care of you while you were ill. And then I won the
multi-state lottery. I sold the little house you and I
lived in and bought a huge mansion. And, my wife and I
traveled all around the world. We were on vacation in
Cancun and I went water skiing today. I fell and hit my
head, and here I am. What a bummer! How do I get in?"

"You have to spell a word," the woman told him.

"Which word?" her husband asked.

"Czechoslovakia."

Moral of the story: Never make a woman angry ...
there'll be Hell to pay later.

Many participants have a condition known as macular

I had just been assigned to a new group and was introducing
myself.

Knowing that many in the group would not be able to see me
well, I jokingly said, "For those of you who can't see me,
I've been told that I look like a cross between Paul Newman
and Robert Redford."

Immediately, one woman called out, "We're not THAT blind!"
