DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT FRIDAY - A JOYFUL HEART. #20.

A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. - Pro 17:22.

Another week gone and time to prepare for the weekend! Have a laugh to get it started…

ONE LINERS
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
I'm not a complete idiot, some parts are missing!
I'm writing a book. I've got the page numbers done.
If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.
If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.
Always try to be modest and be proud of it!
Bills travel through the mail at twice the speed of checks.
Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.
Borrow money from a pessimist, they don't expect it back. Consciousness: That annoying time between naps. Ever stop to think, and forget to start again?
Corduroy pillows: They're making headlines!
Boycott shampoo! Demand the REAL poo!
Atheism is a non-prophet organization.

Benny in the Desert
In the great desert lived a band of nomads. Their leader, Benny, had risen to his rank due to his magnificent beard. His people believed a man's strength and courage came from his beard, and thus the man with the biggest beard was their chief.

After leading the band for many years, Benny began to fell uncomfortable wearing the beard, in this hot and dusty land. He wanted to shave it off, so he called his council together to get their advice.

When he said he wanted to shave, the councilmen were shocked. One said, "Do you not remember the ancient legend, Sire. The leader who removes his beard is cursed and made into a piece of earthenware."

Benny had heard this legend, but being a modern man, he scoffed at the tale. Being headstrong, he went ahead and cut and scraped away his once magnificent beard. As the final whisker was cut off, a huge dust storm came up.

It lasted only a few seconds, and when it cleared, there was a man-sized clay vessel where only moments before had stood their leader. The council then knew the legend must be true. Their conclusion? "A Benny shaved is a Benny urned."

Drunk Confession...
A drunk staggers into a church and sits down in a confessional and says nothing. The bewildered priest coughs to attract his attention, but still the man says nothing. The priest knocks on the wall three times in a final attempt to get the man to speak.

The drunk replies: "Thersh no use knockin' mate, thersh no paper in this one either."
