Watch What You Say – Humor Unplugged
Wisdom - the final frontier to true knowledge. Welcome to Wisdom-Trek where our mission is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before.
Hello, my friend, I am Guthrie Chamberlain, your Captain on our journey to increase wisdom and create a living legacy. Thank you for joining us today as we explore wisdom on our 2nd millennium of podcasts. This is Day 1477 of our trek, and it is time for our 3-minute mini-trek called Humor Unplugged. Our Thursday podcast will provide a short and clean funny story to help you lighten up and live a rich and satisfying life - something to cheer you and give a bit a levity in your life.
We are told in Proverbs 15:30, "A cheerful look brings joy to the heart; good news makes for good health." We are also encouraged in Proverbs 17:22, "A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person’s strength." Consider this your vitamin supplement of cheer for today. So let’s jump right in with today’s funny which is titled...
Watch What You Say
Miss Jones, the first-grade teacher at Walnut Hill Elementary School was so excited for the start of her first year of teaching. On the first day of class, she stood proudly by her classroom door and greeted each child. As each of the children passed her, she stooped down, introduced herself, and asked them their name.
Once all the children were seated she asked them all to turn to lesson one in their math book. From the back of the room, she overhead little Johnny let out a string of bad words. Not quite sure that she believed what she heard, she said, “Johnny, what did you just say?” So Johnny piped up and proudly repeated it.
Miss Jones was astonished that any first grader would use such language. She sternly said, “Little Johnny, don’t you ever use language like that again, not near me, not ever! Where on earth did you learn that?” Looking a bit bewildered, Johnny replied, “I learned it from my dad, Miss Jones.”
Indignant, Miss Jones said, “Well, your daddy should be ashamed. I hope you don’t know what all that even means?” Johnny shrugged his shoulders and said, “Oh, but I do; it means the car won’t start.”
I hope that brought a smile to your face today. If it did, pass your smile on to someone else; we all could use a kind smile each day. Our Thursday thought is, “Children seldom misquote. In fact, they usually repeat word for word what you should not have said.”
Here is our verse for today.
The heart of the godly thinks carefully before speaking; the mouth of the wicked overflows with evil words.
As you enjoy these nuggets of humor, please encourage your friends and family to join us and then come along tomorrow for another day of our Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.
