Lots of Google hits from searches for "owl dollar bill" and similar sets of words.

I'd guess that's because a lot of people Googled the key words leading to that post. On that thought, I'm now considering posting something that includes all the major woo-woo catch phrases.

Given that the "church sign" threads all appear to be locked, I thought I'd post one I saw yesterday near my son's kindy in this thread instead:
"Download your worries
Get Online with God".
Is this an example of someone not understanding the terminology at hand or is it, perhaps, a freudian slip?
Added: I just search google for the phrases "download your worries" and "get online with god" and it seems that this sign has been doing the rounds in more churches than one. |

Joe: So you say someone stole your cloths from the dryer ma'am?
Lady: Always do them on Friday, I do. Too crowded on Saturday.
Joe: Just the facts Ma'am.
Lady: Do them separate you know.
Joe: Separate?
Lady: Whites and colors. Never mix them.
Joe: Why is that?
Lady: It's on the box.
Joe: The box?
Lady: Yes. Right there.
Joe: And they were mixed?
Lady: Don't know. Can't find them.
Joe: And you think they were stolen?
Lady: Yeah. That's why I called you.
Joe: Anyone suspicious looking been hanging around here?
Lady: You mean more so then usual?
Joe: Yeah.
Lady: Well, let me think.
Joe: Take your time ma'am:
Lady: There was some of those dirty flower power hippies in here. Don't know why they would need clean cloths though…Funny about them. They put those flowers in their hair but you could never smell ‘em over the stench.
Joe: Takes all kinds.
Lady: Yeah.
Joe: And you think they took your laundry?
Lady: Well as I said, don't know what use they would have for it, but maybe.
Joe: Notice anything else?
Lady: Not enough dryers.
Joe: Not enough dryers?
Lady: Never are in these places.
Joe: Is this a load?
Lady: I beg your pardon officer?
Joe: These bloomers, ma'am. Do they belong to you?
Lady: Why yes, I do believe they do. Always been partial to floral prints. But how they got in that dryer, I don't know.
Joe: Probably a prank ma'am. We get ‘em all the time.
Lady: God bless you officer.
Joe: No need for that ma'am. Just doing my job…

I don't think there's any question that he's good at what he does. I'm not sure that's the most important question, however. |

Really. After all, Marcel Marceau is "good at" what he does, too.

So since I was given access to the logs for the SFN website, I've been keeping tabs on the number of "daily visitors" we've had. This is the number of different IP addresses that access our site, minus the ones that are obvious web-bots (like Google's "spider"), so it should be mostly just people (except if you log on at work and at home, for example, you'll get counted twice).
At the point when I was given access, I could only get back as far as June of 2005 in the archived logs, but I'm quite pleased to say that between then and now, we've had a half-million daily visitors to the SFN. We passed this landmark late last Tuesday, actually.
Thanks to all who visit! |

From my brother:
A guy goes to the supermarket and notices an attractive woman waving at him.
She says hello.
He's rather taken back because he can't place where he knows her from. So he says, "Do you know me?"
To which she replies, "I think you're the father of one of my kids."
Now his mind travels back to the only time he has ever been unfaithful to his wife and says, "My God, are you the stripper from my bachelor party that I made love to on the pool table with all my buddies watching while your partner whipped my butt with wet celery?
She looks into his eyes and says calmly, "No, I'm your son's teacher."
