I ask the druggist for a 1 pound, 3 pound, and 5 pound box of chocolate,
and asks if he could gift wrap each one of them separately.

The druggist complies, but asks me why I want 3 separate boxes, instead of just one?

I reply, “Well, you see. I’ve got a really hot date tonight, and I’m going to give her the
1 pound box no matter what. But if she lets me hold her hand, I’ll give her the 3-pound box,
and if she lets me kiss her, I’ll give her the 5-pound box!”

The druggist accepts the answer and proceeds to wrap the chocolates for me.

Later that night, I shows up at the girls house to pick her up for the date, but am a bit early.
I ring the doorbell anyway and My hot date greets me.
She says, “Our movie doesn’t start for a bit, so why don’t you come have dinner with us?”
So, I join them, meet the family, and sit down at the table.

Before they start eating, ask to say grace. The family agrees and I begin to pray.
I pray and pray and pray, eventually the family wonders if I'm ever going to finish.
Finally, saying, “Amen.” The girl says, “Wow! I didn’t know you were so spiritual!”

“I didn’t know your dad's a druggist!”

he new Minister looked almost exactly like country singer Conway Twitty & after settling in at his house, he decided to introduce himself to some members of his congregation. The first stop was an elderly couple. He knocked on the door, the woman answered and yelled "Conway Twitty! Pa, come quick, Conway Twitty's come to visit!" The minister says, "No ma'am, I'm the new Methodist minister, and I'm meeting my parishioners." They talk for a while, he goes to the next house on his list.

Once there, he knocks on the door, a middle-aged woman answers, and again, "Conway Twitty! Oh my, I'm such a big fan of your music!" Again, the minister has to tell her "No ma'am, I'm the new Methodist minister, and I'm introducing myself to my parishioners." They talk for a while, he leaves.

His experiment isn't going at all according to plan, so he decides to stop after one more house. When he arrives, he knocks on the door, but there's no answer. He waits a minute and knocks again, then hears someone running toward the door. It opens to reveal a beautiful redhead, still dripping wet from the shower, wearing nothing but a towel clutched in one hand. Her eyes widen and she lifts both hands to the sky, dropping the towel. "Conway Twitty!"

Minister Conner pauses, says "Hello, darlin'."
 
I liked this Lady but I thought I read she died years ago.

Anita Bryant, a former beauty queen and singer who gained notoriety in the 1970s for her anti-gay activism, died on December 16 at 84.

According to an obituary published in the Oklahoman, the one-time Miss Oklahoma died at her home in Edmond, Oklahoma, surrounded by her family and friends.

After appearing on Dick Clark's "American Bandstand," and landing chart with hits "Till There Was You," "Paper Roses," "In My Little Corner of the World," she became a frequent guest on Bob Hope's holiday tours for U.S. troops abroad.

In 1968 Bryant, who was known for her rendition of "Battle Hymn of the Republic," sang at both the Republican and the Democratic national conventions. She later sang at Lyndon B. Johnson's 1973 funeral.

She performed at the Super Bowl in 1971 and cohosted the Orange Bowl Parade for nine years. She was also spokesperson for Coca-Cola as well as for Florida orange juice.

As gay rights came to the forefront in the 1970s, Bryant, then a spokesperson for Florida oranges, became a vocal opponent of the movement. In 1977, she organized a "Save Our Children" movement to repeal a Miami-Dade County ordinance that secured protection for teachers despite sexual orientation.

Gay rights activist Harvey Milk successfully argued against a similar California proposition that would have prevented gay and lesbian educators to teach in public schools. She appears in archival footage in the 2008 Gus Van Sant biopic, "Milk," which starred Sean Penn as the slain activist.

In October 1977, she famously received a banana cream pie to the face from gay activist Tom Higgins at a promotional stop in Des Moines, Iowa. Bryant quipped at the time, "at least it's a fruit pie."

She is survived by her four children, two stepdaughters, and seven grandchildren and their spouses.
