PECANS IN THE CEMETERY

On the outskirts of a small town, there was a big,
old pecan tree just
inside the cemetery fence.
One day, two boys filled up a bucketful of nuts

and sat down by the tree, out of sight, and began
dividing the nuts.
'One for you, one for me.
One for you, one for me,' said one boy.

Several dropped and rolled down toward the fence.

Another boy came riding along the road on his bicycle.
As he passed, he
thought he heard voices from inside
the cemetery. He slowed down to
investigate. Sure
enough, he heard, 'One for you, one for me. One for you,

one for me.' He just knew what it was. He jumped
back on his bike and rode off. Just
around the bend
he met an old man with a cane, hobbling along.


'Come here quick,' said the boy, 'you won't believe
what I heard! Satan and
the Lord are down at the
cemetery dividing up the souls.' The man said,

'Beat it kid, can't you see it's hard for me to walk.'
When the boy insisted
though, the man hobbled
slowly to the cemetery. Standing by the fence they

heard, 'One for you, one for me. One for you, one
for me.' The old man
whispered, 'Boy, you've been
tellin' me the truth. Let's see if we can see the Lord.'


Shaking with fear, they peered through the fence,
yet were still unable to
see anything. The old man
and the boy gripped the wrought iron bars of the

fence tighter and tighter as they tried to get a
glimpse of the Lord.


At last they heard, 'One for you, one for me.
That's all. Now let's go get
those nuts by the fence
and we'll be done.'


They say the old man made it back to town a
full 5 minutes ahead of the kid
on the bike.

Not Sure If This Is True, But.....

In Florida , an atheist created a case against the upcoming
Easter and
Passover holy days. He hired an attorney
to bring a discrimination case
against Christians, Jews
and observances of their holy days.
The argument
was that it was unfair that
atheists had no such recognized days.

The case was brought before a judge.
After listening to the passionate
presentation
by the lawyer, the judge banged his gavel
declaring, "Case
dismissed!" The lawyer immediately
stood objecting to the ruling saying,
"Your honor,
how can you possibly dismiss this case?
The Christians have Christmas,
Easter and others.
The Jews have Passover, Yom Kippur and Hanukkah,
yet my
client and all other atheists have no such holidays."
The judge leaned forward in his chair saying,
"But you do. Your client,
counsel, is woefully ignorant."
The lawyer said, "Your Honor, we are unaware of any
special observance or
holiday for atheists."
The judge said, "The calendar says April 1st is April Fools Day.
Psalm
14:1 states, 'The fool says in his heart,
there is no God.' Thus, it is
the opinion of this court,
that if your client says there is no God, then
he is a fool.
Therefore, April 1st is his day. Court is adjourned."
