Calling a Monkey …
Smart Robin was sued by a Mrs. Robinson for
defamation of character.
The judge found him guilty and fined him five
thousand dollars.
After the sentence, Robin asked the judge in a
loud voice, “That means I cannot call Mrs.
Robinson “Monkey”?
“Yes, precisely,” the judge replied.
Making sure that Mrs. Robinson could hear
him loud and clear, Robin then asked the
judge, “Can I call a monkey ‘Mrs. Robinson’
then?”
“Oh, that would be alright,” the judge replied.
“No legal action can be taken on that.”
The man then looked at Mrs. Robinson directly
and said, “Good afternoon, Mrs. Robinson!”
Reflection
Some mean people will think of all sorts of
ways just to get even with people they dislike.
People who bear anger, aversion, jealousy, ill
will and hatred towards others can never find
true peace and happiness.

A Laugh 182
Catching Attention
Pastor Jonathan Brown noticed that a number of his
congregation members were not paying attention to his
sermon. He knew he had to do something about it. He
said in a booming voice, “Ladies and gentlemen, may I
have your attention please? I have an important
confession to make.” All the audience members became
alert and they sat up upright.
“I have to tell you this,” the pastor said. “The best years
of my life have been spent in the arms of another man's
wife." There were gasps of shock among many of the
people listening. Jonathan really had their attention.
One young man at the back stood up and asked, “Pastor
may we know who that woman was?”
“It was my mother, Lucy Brown,” the pastor calmly
replied.
Reflection
* Oftentimes we make invalid assumptions and
jump to conclusions which put another in a bad
light. We need to gather more data to establish a
fact.
* Witty and creative ways can catch the attention of
our listeners.
