INNOCENCE IS PRICELESS
One Sunday morning, the pastor noticed little Alex standing in the
foyer
of the church staring up at a large plaque. It was covered with names
and small American flags mounted on either side of it. The six-year old
had been staring at the plaque for some time, so the pastor walked up,
stood beside the little boy, and said quietly, 'Good morning Alex.'
'Good morning Pastor,' he replied, still focused on the plaque.
'Pastor, what is this? '
The pastor said,
'Well son, it's a memorial to all the
young men and women who died in the service.'
Soberly, they just stood together,
staring at the large plaque.
Finally, little Alex's voice, barely audible
and trembling with fear asked,
'Which service, the 8:30 or the 10:30?

Re: Laughter is the best medicine
Hi!
I just came across this "old" thread. It made me laugh, so I thought I'd "bump it up" to the top so some of you other "newbies" could get a giggle too!
I don't have anything clever to add right now, but I'm on a quest! Anyone else have something funny to add?
