LAUGHING MATTERS
It so happened that an Imam and a Priest were condemned to fight a dual. The winner would be a free man, the loser had to die. Both men were given pistols and sent into a darkened room. The kindly Priest, not wishing to harm the Imam, fired up the chimney, hitting the Imam in the backside.
There was a trial going on, to decide whether to impose a
Fatwa on a young man. The judge noticed that there were only 11
imams in Jury Box. "Where is the twelfth man, the

business", he said with a smirk, "But don't worry - he
left his verdict with me."
A man was cleaning out his garage one evening, when he
opened an old trunk which he had bought from the East. He found a

Answered the genie. "Now what's your third question?"
A missionary in Central Africa came upon a witch doctor
pounding away at a large drum. "What are you doing?"
Asked the missionary.
"We have no water." Replied the witch doctor. "I

for rain?"
"No," said the witch doctor. "I'm calling the
plumber."
A bomb fell on London in 1941, the city hospital was being
evacuated. Matron was hastily going through her desk drawers.
"Sally!" She shouted to a nearby nurse, "I can't
find my teeth!"
"Never mind about that!" Sally shouted back. "It's
bombs they're dropping - not sandwiches!"
