I remember a joke from my childhood in India which I would like to share with you.
Once there was a rich and stingy man. He had worked his whole life and earned money but never spent more than necessary. When the time of his death approached, his three sons were sitting around his bed, talking about his life and also about his upcoming funeral. The youngest son said ‘How are we going to take him to the funeral place? I can arrange a car for that time.’ The middle son said ‘But renting a car would be expensive! He would not like us to spend that much money! I think we should take a rickshaw, that would be cheaper.’ The oldest son objected ‘No, that is too expensive, too. We have two bicycles at home, we can tie him onto them and drive him in this way. I go and buy the rope.’ At this moment their father suddenly opened his eyes, glared at them and said ‘Oh, you know what, leave it. I am not dead yet, I walk!’
I guess he would not be able to even imagine how expensive a funeral can be in Germany!
Yesterday evening Purnendu and Yashendu left Wiesbaden and took their flight back to Vrindavan. At the time that they arrived there in the morning, Ramona and I also started our journey from Wiesbaden to go to Bocholt. We will spend a few days with Annick, HC and their family before moving on to Tornesch and Lüneburg. Of course I will give healing sessions there and we will have a Darshan on Sunday, too, but it is also just beautiful to be with our friends. Especially in this time before Christmas, when it is cold outside and warm and cozy inside, we will enjoy our time here.

We all enjoid the joke, thank you for this humorous joke.Pastor lies to skip church: (Effects of Hiding)
A preacher woke up one Sunday morning and looked outside and saw it was a beautiful day. He decided to skip church and go play golf. So he called the junior pastor at his church and told him he was sick and couldn’t give the sermon. The junior pastor told him not to worry, he would deliver the sermon.
The pastor drove about 40 miles away from town to avoid being spotted. As he was setting up his first drive on the first hole, Jesus leaned over to God in heaven and asked him, “Are You going to let him get away with this?”
God told Jesus not to worry, he would handle it. Right as God said that, the preacher hit the drive of his life. The ball traveled all 450 feet to the green, bounced once, and rolled in the hole. The preacher was ecstatic. Jesus asked God,”Why would you let him do that?”
God said, “Because, who is he gonna tell?”
Here are a few more good ones from my collection, hope you all enjoy them:

That preacher joke is so funny. I love church humor.
Oh do keep them coming! Both of these jokes are great!
Weddings and funerals are the most expensive events of our life! (and death). That is why I plan on both of them being unforgettable celebrations!
Haha
Annick and HC! Hope you guys had un.
Too funny! I love this joke, and I’m sorry to say that I feel as if I know so many people like the stingy man! I think it’s good to be thrifty…not too good to be stingy…thrifty is attractive, stingy is ugly…
