Sinnige Begegnung


 

Neujahrsgebet

des Pfarrers von St. Lamberti zu Münster
aus dem Jahre 1883

 
Herr, setze dem Überfluss Grenzen
und lasse die Grenzen überflüssig werden!

Lasse die Leute kein falsches Geld machen
und auch das Geld keine falschen Leute!

Nimm den Ehefrauen das letzte Wort
und erinnere die Männer an ihr erstes!

Schenke unseren Freunden mehr Wahrheit
und der Wahrheit mehr Freunde!

Bessere solche Beamte, Geschäfts- und Arbeitsleute,
die wohl tätig,
aber nicht wohltätig sind!

Gib den Regierenden ein gutes Deutsch
und den Deutschen eine gute Regierung!

Sorge dafür, dass wir alle in den Himmel kommen,
aber nicht sofort!

Just a little road rage

An honest man was being tailgated by a stressed out woman on a busy boulevard. Suddenly, the light turned yellow, just in front of him. He did the right thing, stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection.

The tailgating woman hit the roof, and the horn, screaming in frustration as she missed her chance to get through the intersection. As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked up into the face of a very serious police officer.

The officer ordered her to exit her car with her hands up. He took her to the police station where she was searched, finger printed, photographed, and placed in a holding cell.

After a couple of hours, a policeman approached the cell and opened the door. She was escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officer was waiting with her personal effects.

He said, "I'm very sorry for this mistake. You see, I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping off the guy in front of you, and cussing a blue streak at him.

I noticed the 'Choose Life' license plate holder, the 'What Would Jesus Do' bumper sticker, the 'Follow Me to Sunday-School' bumper sticker, and the chrome-plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk.

Naturally, I assumed you had stolen the car."
