SHEEEEUUUUUHHHH! You guys are getting   W A A A Y too serious. Let me lighten the mood ... fur keerist sake!!!

Some years I was living with a family while I built them a deck. Their home was a six hour drive, so I stayed with them during the week. Thanksgiving happened to fall during that project, so I worked that morning and then shared Thanksgiving dinner with them.

I knew that the Father of the family was strongly Catholic and the Mother was not. At the beginning of the meal, Sean, the Father, asked that we all join hands and then asked ME to say grace! SURPRISE, SURPRISE!! Me, Bob Nelson, I'm 'gonna say GRACE! The last time I said grace the roof collapsed and killed 19 people.

I looked at Sean, and I said: "O.K. YOU ASKED FOR IT!"

Then I sang, in my most reverent voice:

"JESUS LOVES ME THIS I KNOW,
FOR THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO,
WHEN I DIE HE'LL CLEAN MY SOUL,
WHAT A ... dirty little job for JESUS!"

THE LOOK ON SEAN'S FACE WAS PRICELESS. I then looked at D'Arcy, his wife, and she was laughing so hard she started to slide off her chair. The I looked at the two teenage boys, and they were staring at me with their mouths hanging open.

OH ... IT WAS SWEELL Cheers, Bob(deckman)Nelom
