"Money Talks"
A one-dollar bill met a twenty-dollar bill and said,
"Hey, where have you been? I haven't seen you
around here much."
The twenty answered, "I've been hanging out at the
casinos, went on a cruise and did the rounds of the
ship, back to the United States for a while, went to
a couple of baseball games, to the mall, that kind
of stuff. How about you?"
The one dollar bill said, "You know, same old
stuff - church, church, church."

"Need A New Organist"
A minister was preoccupied with thoughts of how
he was going to ask the congregation to come up
with more money than they were expecting for repairs
to the church building.
Therefore, he was annoyed to find that the regular
organist was sick and a substitute had been brought
in at the last minute. The substitute wanted to know
what to play.
"Here's a copy of the service," he said impatiently. "But
you'll have to think of something to play after I make
the announcement about the finances."
During the service, the minister paused and said,
"Brothers and Sisters, we are in great difficulty; the
roof repairs cost twice as much as we expected, and
we need $4,000 more. Any of you who can pledge
$100 or more, please stand up."
At that moment, the substitute organist played,
"The Star Spangled Banner."
