  9. Santa and the Fairy Angel One Christmas season a long time ago, as Santa was getting ready for his annual trip, problems started to pop up everywhere around the North Pole workshop. A flu epidemic was making many of the elves too sick to work, and the trainee elves he pressed into service could not produce toys as fast as the regular ones. When he went out to feed and exercise the reindeer, he found two were pregnant and about to give birth, and another two had jumped the fence and gone tromping around the local woodlands. After he got back from rounding them up, Mrs. Claus told Santa that her mother was coming to visit. “What next?” a stressed-out Santa said to himsel…

    An American decided to write a book about famous churches around the world. So he bought a plane ticket and took a trip to Orlando , thinking that he would start by working his way across the USA from South to North. On his first day he was inside a church taking photographs when he noticed a golden telephone mounted on the wall with a sign that read '$10,000 per call'. The American, being intrigued, asked a priest who was strolling by what the telephone was used for. The priest replied that it was a direct line to heaven and that for $10,000 you could talk to God. The American thanked the priest and went along his way. Next stop was in Atlanta . There, at a…
