Jesus Knows You're Here

A burglar broke into a house one night. He shined his flashlight around, looking for valuables when a voice in the dark said, "Jesus knows you're here."

He nearly jumped out of his skin, clicked his flashlight off, and froze. When he heard nothing more, after a bit, he shook his head and continued.

Just as he pulled the stereo out so he could disconnect the wires, clear as a bell he heard "Jesus is watching you."

Freaked out, he shined his light around frantically, looking for the source of the voice. Finally, in the corner of the room, his flashlight beam came to rest on a parrot.

"Did you say that?" he hissed at the parrot.

"Yep", the parrot confessed, then squawked, "I'm just trying to warn you that he is watching you."

The burglar relaxed. "Warn me, huh? Who in the world are you?"

"Moses," replied the bird.

"Moses?" the burglar laughed. "What kind of people would name a bird Moses?"

The bird replied, "The same kind of people that would name a Rottweiler Jesus."

An Englishman, Irishman and a Scotsman get caught up in the revolution on an island, and are sentenced to death by firing squad. The Englishman is led out in front of the squad ... "ready, aim, " ... and the Englishman points behind them and shouts "volcano!". While they all turn around, he jumps over the wall and gets away. Next, the Scotsman is led out ... "ready, aim, " ... and he points behind them and shouts "tidal wave!". While they all turn around, he jumps over the wall and gets away. Finally, the Irishman is led out ... "ready, aim, " ... "fire!"

A man runs into a doctor's surgery, shouting "Doctor, doctor, castrate me, please, you've got to castrate me!".

The doctor is more than a little surprised at this, and explains that this is a very grave decision - there would be no going back.

"But doctor, you must castrate me - PLEASE, you've got to castrate me today!"

The doctor is taken aback, but the man pleads with him.

"Doctor, I'm certain - you must castrate me, please castrate me."

He is very persistent, and the doctor, despite his misgivings, eventually agrees. He gets the man to lie down on the bench, gets out his surgical pliers (this is a low tech surgery), and does the deed (crunch!)

His patient is writhing in agony when another man rushes in, shouting "Doctor, doctor, circumcise me - I must be circumcised".

The man on the bench shouts "THAT's the word!"

Too long on the island, perhaps?

.....Louie was shipwrecked and lived alone on a desert island for years until he was finally rescued. Before leaving the island, he gave the rescue party a tour.
....."I built myself a house. That's it there. Here's the barn, and over here is the church I worshipped in."
....."What's that building over there?" one of the rescuers asked.
.....Louie sneered. "That's the church I used to belong to."

The variant I heard had a Jew shipwrecked, who bit a scale model of his home town to keep himself occupied. His answer to the last question is "That's the shul we don't go to!"

A biologist, a physicist and a mathematician are sat together watching an empty house. They see one person go in, but to their surprise, two people come out!

The biologist says: "They must have given birth to another person while in the house."

The physicist says: "Experimental error! We must have a measurement problem."

The mathematician says: "If only someone else would go in, the house would be empty again!"

If the reader doesn't understand 1 + 1 = 10, you'll have to explain the punch line to them!

A physicist, a chemist and a computer scientist are driving in a car when it breaks down.

The physicist says: "Perhaps the spark plugs need adjusting."

The chemist says: "Perhaps the fuel mix is wrong."

The computer scientist says: "Why don't we all get out of the car, then get back in again?"
