How the pew(bench at church) got it's name.

Disclaimer-this is just a joke that my grandfather who is very religous made up.


When my grandfather was having his first communion he had to pass gas. Well he did and it was rather loud. The smell traveled all the way down the pew. He got yelled at from the sisters and they punished him. And from that day on, they named those benches a pew.


haha

Ha!  That's so corny it's funny! :lol:

Here's one my grandfather told.  It's about Hallowe'en.

There was this boy with a speech impediment gone trick-or-treating one Hallowe'en, and he knocked on a door and when the man came to the door, he said, "Hello there, young man!  What are you supposed to be?"

The boy said, "I'm a birate."

The man asked him, "Oh yeah?  Well, where are your buccaneers?"

The boy snapped, "They're under my buccan hat!  Now gimme my candy!"
