Baseball in Heaven

"Driving and Long Hair"

A young boy had just gotten his driving permit. He
asked his father, who was a minister, if they could
discuss the use of the car. His father took him to his
study and said to him, "I'll make a deal with you. You
bring your grades up, study your bible a little and get
your hair cut and we'll talk about it."

After about a month the boy came back and again asked
his father if they could discuss use of the car. They
again went to the father's study where his father said,
"Son, I've been real proud of you. You have brought
your grades up, you've studied your bible diligently,
but you didn't get your hair cut!"

The young man waited a moment and replied, "You know
Dad, I've been thinking about that. You know, Samson
had long hair, Moses had long hair, Noah had long hair,
and even Jesus had long hair...."

To which his father replied... "Yes, and they WALKED
every where they went!"

"Baseball in Heaven"

Two buddies Bob and Earl were two of the biggest
baseball fans in America. For their entire adult lives,
Bob and Earl discussed baseball history in the winter
and they pored over every box score during the season.
They went to 60 games a year. They even agreed that
whoever died first would try to come back and tell the
other if there was baseball in heaven.

One fall night, Bob passed away in his sleep after
watching the Yankees victory earlier in the evening. He
died happy. A few nights later, his buddy Earl awoke to
the sound of Bob's voice from beyond. "Bob is that
you?" Earl asked.

"Of course it me," Bob replied.

"This is unbelievable!" Earl exclaimed. "So tell me, is
there baseball in heaven?"

"Well I have some good news and some bad news for you.
Which do you want to hear first?"

"Tell me the good news first."

"Well, the good news is that, yes, there is baseball in
heaven, Earl."

"Oh, that is wonderful! So what could possibly be the
bad news?"

"You're pitching tomorrow night."
