I just read this. Is this for real?

A quant gone mad. I don't want to ride in an airplane he works on.I did go to the www.raptureready.com site to look at the Index. Impressive. I also went to their humor section (what's funny to people who think the world will end any minute now?) and it's about what you'd expect. I did like this one, however:A man was out hunting, and came upon a bear. He shot at the bear, but only nicked him. The bear went after the hunter, and chased him some distance through the woods. Finally the man came to the edge of a cliff, and had no where else to run. As he watched the bear approach, he began to pray. "Dear God give this bear a touch of religion." Suddenly the bear came to an abrupt stop, and looked up toward Heaven and said "Thank you Lord for this food which I am about to eat." And this one was okay, but it took me a minute to get it:This Christian couple felt it important to own an equally Christian pet. So, they went shopping. At a kennel specializing in this particular breed, they found a dog they liked quite a lot. When they asked the dog to fetch the Bible, he did it in a flash. When they instructed him to look up Psalm 23, he complied equally fast, using his paws with dexterity. They were impressed, purchased the animal, and went home. That night they had friends over. They were so proud of their new dog and his major skills, they called the dog and showed off a little. The friends were impressed, and asked whether the dog was able to do any of the usual dog tricks, as well. This stopped the couple cold, as they hadn't thought about "normal" tricks. Well, they said, "Let's try this out." Once more they called the dog, and they clearly pronounced the command, "Heel!" Quick as a wink, the dog jumped up, put his paw on the man's forehead, closed his eyes in concentration, and bowed his head.

Thanks for that, Aaron. What this forum really needs is a good joke thread. Anyone heard any good jokes recently? The best joke I heard recently, though really funny, is too obscene for this "family forum" -- to use Jungle's carefully chosen words.

I've heard almost every generation through-out the history thought it was the last one

Omar << You can't make this joke readable using the words 'Stevens', 'Burger', 'Rehnquist', 'Blackmun' and 'Powell' ?Aaron << I didn't rate the bear one, but the dog was good. Actually after examining the rest on the site I think the dog one was more or less the only funny joke.Everyone heard this one:THE IRISH SINNER"Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I have not been to confession for six months. On top of that, I've been with a loose woman."The priest sighs. "Is that you, little Tommy O'Shaughnessy?""Yes, Father, 'tis I.""And who might be the woman you were with?""I shan't be tellin' you, Father. It would ruin her reputation.""Well, Tommy, I'm bound to find out sooner or later, so you may as well tell me now. Was it Brenda O'Malley?""I cannot say.""Was it Patricia Fitzgerald?""I'll never tell.""Was it Bridget O'Shanter?""I'm sorry, but I'll not name her.""Was it Cathy O'Dell?""My lips are sealed.""Was it Fiona Mallory, then?""Please, Father, I cannot tell you."The priest sighs in frustration. "You're a steadfast lad, Tommy O'Shaughnessy, and I admire that. But, you've sinned,and you must atone. Be off with you now."Tommy walks back to his pew. His friend, Sean, slides over and whispers,"What'd you get?""Five more good leads."
