This week is The Joke Show.

Let's have our own Joke Show. Kindly post a work-safe joke here.

Mine is swiped from the PHC newsletter: Why do grocery store check-out clerks have such a hard time deciding between paper or plastic?

Becase baggers can't be choosers.

There was this one time when Jesus was about seven years old. He was doing what most seven-year-olds do, with an extra helping of miracles - running around the house, knocking dishes off shelves, tugging on the cat's tail, running back and forth across the surface of the bathtub water - and Mary was just about at her wit's end. Finally, after hearing a third crash of pottery from the living room, this one meaning her wedding vase was no more, she stormed out of the kitchen to confront her son. "Jesus! What is wrong with you? Were you born in a- oh yeah."

So it's years later, Jesus has grown up and turned into the radical reformer street-preacher dude we all know and love. And he comes upon an angry mob of citizens about to stone a whore name of Mary Magdalene. He steps between the mob and their victim, raises his hands, and shouts "Let him among you who is without sin cast the first stone!"

The mob starts muttering, a little ashamed -- 'cause none of them are really without sin, are they, which was sort of his whole point -- and it looks like the whole thing might blow over when suddenly a single stone flies out of the crowd and hits Magdalene, WHAM.

Jesus looks into the crowd to see who did it, and wails in exasperation: "MOOOM!"
