An old southern country preacher form Georgia had a teenage son named David
and it was getting time the boy should give some thought to choosing a
profession. Like many young men, the boy didn't really know what he wanted
to do, and he didn't seem too concerned about it.
One day, while the boy was away at school, his father decided to try an
experiment. He went into the boy's room and placed on his study table four
objects:
- a Bible,
- a silver dollar,
- a bottle of whisky and
- a Playboy magazine
I'll just hide behind the door," the old preacher said to himself, "and
when he comes home from school this afternoon, I'll see which object he
picks up. If it's the Bible, he's going to be a preacher like me, and what
a blessing that would be! If he picks up the dollar, he's going to be a
businessman, and that would be OK, But if picks up the bottle, he's going
to be a no-good drunkard, and, Lord, what a shame that would be. And worst
of all, if he picks up that magazine he's gonna be a skirt-chasin' bum."
The old man waited anxiously, and soon heard his son's footsteps as he
entered the house whistling and headed for his room. The boy tossed his
books on the bed, and as he turned to leave the room he spotted the objects
on the table. With curiosity in his eye, he walked over to inspect them.
Finally, he picked up the Bible and placed it under his arm. He picked up
the silver dollar and dropped it into his pocket. He uncorked the bottle
and took a big drink while he admired this month's Centerfold.
"Lord have mercy," the old preacher disgustedly whispered, "he's gonna be a
pilot."
Cheers
Pat

Hi Pat, I believe you are confusing the word "Pilot" with the word "Preacher"
Sorry Rev. Pike, It's not my Joke

Actually, the original joke's punchline was that he was going to become a politician.

As soon as I first started reading Pat's joke, I recognized it, (heard it years ago, when I was a teenager) and knew the punchline was going to be "politician."
When I read, "pilot," my thought was "Hmmm, senility must be setting in, the poor man can't remember punchlines."
When I read "preacher," I thought the same thing.
So sad.
You guys make sure that you get 2 seat Kolbs, so somebody else can go along as Pilot-In-Command and gently guide you home when you forget where you are at, or where you meant to go. <grin>

Maybe they should consider 3 seater versions. That way they will have room
for breathing machines, walkers and care providers!

Hi Chuck, it is a given that there is no such thing as a `new` joke. Only
variations.
We tell jokes against the Irish. You tell them against Polacks etc. I asked
a visiting African if they did the same and if so, who was the butt?
"The Ibo`s" he replied. Apparently they are a small tribe up in the
headwaters of the local river. "Same jokes"? I asked. "Just the same" was
the answer.
Though how you translate a joke about the Irish Everest Climbing Team
failing because the scaffolding fell down into Ibo I
really do not know .
Cheers
Pat

Ok, well, THAT was funny, AND I think it was new, so, you just proved yourself wrong!
