Glad I Don’t Have to Shave

Sharing the faith….

There was a barber that thought that he should share his faith with his customers more than he had been doing lately. So the next morning when the sun came up and the barber got up out of bed he said, “Today I am going to witness to the first man that walks through my door.”

Soon after he opened his shop the first man came in and said, “I want a shave!” The barber said, “Sure, just sit in the seat and I’ll be with you in a moment.” The barber went in the back and prayed a quick desperate prayer saying, “God, the first customer came in and I’m going to witness to him. So please give me the wisdom to know just the right thing to say to him. Amen.”

Then quickly the barber came out with his razor knife in one hand and a Bible in the other while saying, “Good morning sir. I have a question for you……….Are you ready to die?”

Someone Sighted Me

• Sighting #1: I was at the airport, checking in at the gate, when the airport employee asked, “Has anyone put anything in your baggage without your knowledge?” I said, “If it was without my knowledge, how would I know?” He smiled and nodded knowingly, “That’s why we ask.”
• Sighting #2: The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it is safe to cross the street. I was crossing with an intellectually challenged co-worker of mine, when she asked if I knew what the buzzer was for. I explained that it signals to blind people when the light is red. She responded, appalled, “What on earth are blind people doing driving?”
• Sighting #3: At a good-bye lunch for an old and dear co-worker who is leaving the company due to “right-sizing,” our manager spoke up and said, “This is fun. We should have lunch like this more often.” Not another word was spoken. We just looked at each other like deer staring into the headlights of an approaching truck.
• Sighting #4: I worked with an Individual who plugged his power strip back into itself and for the life of him could not understand why his system would not turn on.
• Sighting #5: (a rare “double sighting”): A friend had a brilliant idea for saving disk space. He thought if he put all his Microsoft Word documents into a tiny font they’d take up less room. When he told me, I was with another friend. She thought it was a good idea too.
• Sighting #6: (from Tech Support): Tech Support: “How much free space do you have on your hard drive?” Individual: “Well, my wife likes to get up there on that Internet, and she downloaded ten hours of free space. Is that enough?”
• Sighting #7: (from Tech Support): Individual: “Now what do I do?” Tech Support: “What is the prompt on the screen?” Individual: “It’s asking for ‘Enter Your Last Name.’” Tech Support: “Okay, so type in your last name.” Individual: “How do you spell that?”
• Sighting # 8: When my husband and I arrived at an automobile dealership to pick up our car, we were told that the keys had been accidentally locked in it. We went to the service department and found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock the driver’s side door. As I watched from the passenger’s side, I instinctively tried the door handle and discovered it was open. “Hey,” I announced to the technician, “It’s open!” “I know,” answered the young man. “I already got that side.”
