"Clyde"
The three wise men arrived to visit the child
lying in the manger. One of the wise men
was exceptionally tall, and bumped his head
on the low doorway as he entered the
stable. "Jesus Christ!" he exclaimed.
Joseph said, "Write that down, Mary;
it's better than Clyde!"

"Room Troubles"
A very religious couple was touring the Holy Land
during the Christmas season and decided it would
be very meaningful to them to spend Christmas
Eve in Bethlehem, the birth place of Jesus.
Arriving there, they searched high and low for a
room, but none was available at any price. Finally,
they pulled up in front of the Sheraton-Bethlehem
and the husband got out of the car, telling his wife:
"Stay here, sweetie. Let me see if I can do something
for us."
He approached the desk and the clerk told him
there were no rooms. "Sorry, sir. It's Christmas
Eve, our busiest time."
No matter how much the man offered to pay, the
clerk said he had nothing. Finally, the man told the
clerk, "I bet if I told you my name was Joseph, that
the woman waiting in the car was called Mary, and
that she had a newborn infant, you'd find us a room."
"Well," stammered the clerk, "I-- I suppose so."
"Okay," said the man. "I guarantee you, they are
not coming tonight -- so I'll take their room."
