    John and Jean, a married couple desperately wanted children but
    could not have any. They had been married for several years,
    and one night about midnight they knocked on their pastor's
    door.

    The pastor came to the door, still about half asleep, and they
    told him, "Pastor we have been praying, and just feel that if
    you will anoint us with oil, and pray over us, God will give
    us a baby."

    The pastor, being a man of faith thought that was a good idea,
    so he called to his wife and said, "Honey, bring the anointing
    oil, and let's pray for this couple."

    After a few minutes, she came out and said, "I couldn't find
    the anointing oil, but I found this 3 in 1 oil." He decided
    that he would use it, and God would honor their prayer. So,
    he did, and the couple went home.

    About 9 months later, he got a call to come to the hospital,
    that the couple was going to have a baby, so he went. He arrived,
    and the husband was pacing the floor. He said, "Pastor, have you
    heard we are going to have triplets!"

    The pastor said, "I'm sorry, I didn't realize that the 3 in 1 oil
    would have that effect."

    The new father said, "It's fine pastor, we are praising God that
    you didn't use WD-40."

    [at least it wasn't something from "The Land of 10,000 Lakes" <G>]

    Tom and Grace were attending a Marriage Seminar, dealing with
    communication. They had been married for almost 50 years, and the
    instructor wanted to use them as an example of communications, and understanding each other based on their lengthy marriage.

    As Tom and his wife Grace listened, the instructor told everyone,
    "It is essential that husbands and wives know each other's likes
    and dislikes."

    He turned to the Tom and asked, "Can you name your wife's favorite
    flower?"

    Tom leaned over and lovingly touched his wife's arm gently and
    whispered, "It's Pillsbury, isn't it?"
