As You Slide Down the Banister of Life - Remember

1. Jim Baker and Jimmy Swaggert have written
 
An impressive new book. It's called ........
 
'Ministers Do More Than Lay People'



2. Transvestite: A guy who likes to eat, drink
 
And be Mary..


3. The difference between the Pope and
 
Your boss, the Pope only expects you
 
To kiss his ring.

4. My mind works like lightning, One brilliant
 
Flash and it is gone..



5. The only time the world beats a path to
 
Your door is if you're in the bathroom.

6. I hate sex in the movies. Tried it once. 
The seat folded up, the drink spilled and
 
That ice, well, it really chilled the mood.



7. It used to be only death and taxes
 
Now, of course, there's
 
shipping and handling, too.

8. A husband is someone who, after taking
 
the trash out, gives the impression that
 
he just cleaned the whole house.



9. My next house will have no kitchen - just
 
Vending machines and a large trash can.

11. Definition of a teenager?
 
God's punishment...for enjoying sex.

12. As you slide down the banister of life, may
 
The splinters never point the wrong way...
 

 
Be who you are and say what you feel... because those that matter... don't mind...and those that mind...don't matter!
