A woman goes to the post office to buy stamps for her Christmas cards.
She says to the clerk, “May I have 50 Christmas stamps?”
The clerk says, “What denomination?”
The woman says, “God help us. Has it come to this?
Give me 6 Catholic, 12 Presbyterian, 10 Lutheran, 21 Baptists and 1 Anglican.”

Bwahahahaha!
Do you know the Three Great Religious Truths?
1. Jews don’t recognize Jesus as Messiah.
2. Lutherans don’t recognize the Pope as head of the Church.
3. Babdists don’t recognize one another in the liquor store.
(can you tell I’m a former Babdist?)
LOL! Good one… ;o)
Earlier, when there were no comments, I thought I heard the sound of crickets chirping…
Overheard (not by me). Begin the same way but the clerk says,
“Do you want the secular stamps or the Madonna?” and the lady says, “I didn’t know Madonna had a stamp.” (Clerk grinds teeth and says, “The Madonna and The Child.”)
Ha! Real life has caught up with that joke: Simon Winchester, author of The Meaning of Everything: The Story of the Oxford English Dictionary gave a talk seen on C-SPAN2 last weekend. He quipped that in the Encarta encyclopedia, the first entry under the word “Madonna” is “Madonna (entertainer)” rather than “Madonna (Virgin Mary)”.
(But to be fair, that’s alphabetical order.)
Not bad! There’s one I can use at mass!
