a phone call from John Howard
I received this email from someone in our jeebus congregation at Northern
….when you rang today…my mum answered, well afterwards when she hung up
the phone something funny happened… my sister’s son was home (5yrs old)
and he heard the whole conversation ‘No Timm’s not here etc etc” and
afterwards he said “Grandma, Who was that?”Mum : Oh that was just the minister looking to speak to Timm.
Five year old : Was that John Howard??

You can add this to your collection of “Deep thoughts by Phil”.
As a comparison look at the following from a collection of “Deep Thoughts” by Jack Handy:
“Many people think that history is a dull subject. Dull? Is it “dull” that Jesse James once got bitten on the forehead by an ant, and at first it didn’t seem like anything, but then the bite got worse and worse, so he went to a doctor in town, and the secretary told him to wait, so he sat down and waited, and waited, and waited, and waited, and then finally he got to see the doctor, and the doctor put some salve on it? You call that dull?”

Or this Jack Handy thought:
I remember how my Great Uncle Jerry would sit on the porch and whittle all day long. Once he whittled me a toy boat out of a larger toy boat I had. It was almost as good as the first one, except now it had bumpy whittle marks all over it. And no paint, because he had whittled off the paint.

Kenoath that is one very funny story, Phil’s one isn’t bad, but the whittler sure surpasses it.
