Immigrant Attends His First Game
A recent Scottish immigrant attends his first baseball game in his new
country and after a base hit he hears the fans roaring run....run! The
next batter connects heavily with the ball and the Scotsman stands up
and roars with the crowd in his thick accent: "R-r-run you bastard,
r-run will you!" A third batter slams a hit and again the Scotsman,
obviously pleased with his knowledge of the game, screams "R-r-run you
bastard, r-r-run will you!" The next batter held his swing at three and
two and as the ump calls a walk the Scotsman stands up yelling "R-r-run
you bastard, r-r-run!" All the surrounding fans giggle quietly and he
sits down confused. A friendly fan, sensing his embarrassment whisper,
"He doesn't have to run, he's got four balls." After this explanation
the Scotsman stands up in disbelief and screams, "Walk with pr-r-ride
man! Walk with pr-r-ride!!!!"

It Had Been Raining for Days
It had been raining for days and days, and a terrible flood had
come over the land. The waters rose so high that one man was forced to
climb onto the roof of his house.
As the waters rose higher and higher, a man in a rowboat
appeared, and told him to get in. "No," replied the man on the roof. "I
have faith in the Lord; the Lord will save me." So the man in the
rowboat went away. The man on the roof prayed for God to save him.
The waters rose higher and higher, and suddenly a speedboat appeared. "Climb in!" shouted a man in the boat. "No," replied the man on the roof. "I have faith in the Lord; the Lord will save me." So the man in the speedboat went away. The man on the roof prayed for God to save him.
The waters continued to rise. A helicopter appeared and over the loudspeaker, the pilot announced he would lower a rope to the man on the roof. "No," replied the man on the roof. "I have faith in the Lord; the Lord will save me." So the helicopter went away. The man on the roof prayed for God to save him.
The waters rose higher and higher, and eventually they rose so high that the man on the roof was washed away, and alas, the poor man drowned.
Upon arriving in heaven, the man marched straight over to God. "Heavenly Father," he said, "I had faith in you, I prayed to you to save me, and yet you did nothing. Why?" God gave him a puzzled look, and replied "I sent you two boats and a helicopter, what more did you expect?"

Guy Receives Free Ticket
A guy named Joe receives a free ticket to the SuperBowl from
his company. Unfortunately, when Joe arrives at the stadium, he realizes
the seat is in the last row in the corner of the stadium, he's closer
to the Goodyear Blimp than the field. About halfway through the first
quarter, Joe sees through his binoculars an empty seat 10 rows off the
field right on the 50 yardline.
He decides to take a chance and makes his way through the
stadium and around the security guards to the empty seat. As he sits
down, Joe asks the gentleman sitting next to him, "Excuse me, is anyone
sitting here?"
The man says "No."
Now, very excited to be in such a great seat for the game, Joe again inquires of the man next to him, "This is incredible! Who in their right mind would have a seat like this at the SuperBowl and not use it?!"
The man replies, "Well, actually, the seat belongs to me. I was supposed to come with my wife, but she passed away. This is the first SuperBowl we haven't been together at since we got married in 1967."
"Well, that's really sad," said Joe, "but still, you couldn't find anyone to take the seat? A friend or close relative?" "No," the man replies, "They're all at the funeral."
The man says "No."

Guy Arrives at Pearly Gates
This guy arrives at the Pearly Gates. He has to wait to be admitted, while St. Pete leafs through his Big Book.
He's checking to see if the guy is worthy of entry or not.
Saint Peter goes through the books several times, furrows his brow, and
says to the guy, "You know, I can't see that you did lots of good in
your life but, you never did anything bad either.
Tell you what, if you can tell me of one REALLY good deed that you did in your life, you're in."
The guy thinks for a moment and says, "Well, there was this one time when I was drivin' down the highway and I saw a Biker Gang assaulting this poor girl. I slowed down my car to see what was going on, and sure enough, that's what they were doing. There were about 50 of 'em torturing this chick.
Infuriated, I got out my car, grabbed a tire iron from my trunk and walked straight up to the leader of the gang. He was a huge guy with a studded leather jacket and a chain running from his nose to his ear. As I walked up to the leader, the Gang formed a circle all around me.
So I ripped the leader's chain off his face and smashed him over the head with the tire iron. Then I turned around and yelled to the rest of them, 'Leave this poor, innocent girl alone, you slime! You're all a bunch of sick, deranged animals! Go home before I teach you all a lesson in pain!'"
St. Peter, extremely impressed, says, "Really? Wow, when did all this happen?"
"Er.. about two minutes ago."
