A church secretary takes a call. The caller says, “Is the head hog at the trough there?”
The secretary says, “Please, sir, do not refer to our pastor as the ‘head hog at the trough.’ That is very insulting.”
“Oh, I’m very sorry. I meant no disrespect by that. It’s just a local phrase we use in the part of the country I come from. The real reason I called was to donate $50,000 to your building fund.”
The secretary says, “Hold on. I see the ‘Big Oinker’ coming through the door right now.”

Bill, Jim and Scott were at a convention together and were sharing a large suite on the top of a 75-story skyscraper. After a long day of meetings, they were shocked to hear that the elevators in their hotel were broken and they would have to climb 75 flights of stairs to get to their room.
Bill said to Jim and Scott, “Let’s break the monotony of this unpleasant task by concentrating on something interesting. I’ll tell jokes for 25 flights, Jim can sing songs for 25 flights, and Scott can tell sad stories the rest of the way.”
At the 26th floor, Bill stopped telling jokes and Jim began to sing.
At the 51st floor, Jim stopped singing and Scott began to tell sad stories.
“I will tell my saddest story first,” he said. “I left the room key in the car.”
