Without telling anyone about his decision or writing a letter to the congregation, he waits until Sunday morning to announce his resignation in church. When he speaks to the congregation he says, "The same Jesus that called me to this church many years ago has now called upon me to leave and serve another church."

On the table was an upside-down pot and a duck tap dancing on it. The circus owner was so impressed that he offered to buy the duck from its owner. After some wheeling and dealing they settled for $10,000 for the duck and the pot. Three days later the circus owner runs back to the bar in anger, "Your duck is a rip-off! I put him on the pot before a whole audience and he didn't dance a single step!" "That's strange" said the duck's former owner, "did you remember to light the candle under the pot?" ___________________________________________________ Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed.

Because the guy inside may be trysting with a stuffed animal. An Arkansas cop last Sunday morning spotted a suspicious car parked outside a commercial storage facility that has been broken into 16 times this year (and 36 times in 2022). A sheriffs deputy noted that the vehicle in question was seen rocking around 12:45 AM. When the cop looked inside the auto, he spotted Theodore Morgavan, 55, having sex with a stuffed animal. Morgavan, a divorced father of three, lives about a mile away from the storage facility in Midway (pop. 1036). Since Morgavan is on probation, cops were able to search him and his auto without the need for a warrant. According to a probable cause affidavit, that search turned up methamphetamine, a syringe, and two marijuana pipes. Seen above, Morgavan was charged with two felony drug charges and misdemeanor counts of public sexual indecency and possession of drug paraphernalia. At his arraignment today, Morgavan, who is free on $5000 bond, entered a not guilty plea. He is next due in court on October 30. Morgavan was convicted earlier this year on narcotics and theft charges and placed on probation for two years and fined $1690. _________________________________________________ History On November 2, in 1721, Peter the Great (Peter I), ruler of Russia, changed his title to emperor. 1776, During the American Revolutionary War, William Demont, became the first traitor of the American Revolution when he deserted. 1783, U.S. Gen.
