Thou Shalt Not...

Pastors Dave and Rod would pass each other every Sunday morning as they bicycled to their respective churches. One Sunday Rod was walking.

"What happened to your bike?" asked Dave.

"I think someone in my congregation stole it."

"Talk about the Ten Commandments today. When you get to the part about 'Thou shalt not steal,' the thief will feel so guilty he'll return your bike."

Next Sunday both were on their bikes.

"The sermon worked, huh?" Dave asked.

"Yeah," Rod replied, "when I got to the part about 'Thou shalt not commit adultery' I remembered where I left my bike!"

I thought I would end the year (a year of many old jokes) with an old joke. The trick is fitting these old gems into a hundred words, which isn't as easy as it sounds.

Thanks, Robbin. You were quick on that response! I didn't even get a chance to post my disclaimer saying this was an old joke!

It may be an old-un, Christopher, but it’s a good-un too. Happy New Year when it arrives tomorrow.

Thanks, Neville. Happy forthcoming New Year to you too. I'm going to start posting the new Jake Randolph story on New Year's Day.

Thanks, Jeff. It was an old joke but I thought it was worth revisiting.
