A preacher was making his rounds to his parishioners on a bicycle, when he came upon a little boy trying to sell a lawn mower.' 'How much do you want for the mower?'' asked the preacher.' 'I just want enough money to go out and buy me a bicycle'', said the little boy.
After a moment of consideration, the preacher asked,' 'Will you take my bike in trade for it?'' The little boy asked if he could try it out first, and after riding the bike around a little while said,' 'Mister, you've got yourself a deal.'' The preacher took the mower and began to try to crank it. He pulled on the string a few times with no response from the mower. The preacher called the little boy over and said,' 'I can't get this mower to start.''
The little boy said,' 'That's because you have to cuss at it to get it started.''
The preacher said,' 'I am a minister, and I cannot cuss. It has been so long since I have been saved that I do not even remember how to cuss.''

One day a string was walking down the street.
He was really thirsty and decided to get a drink at a nearby bar.
So he walks up to the bar tender and says, “I’d like a beer, please. ”
The bartender looks at him like he’s crazy and says, “I can’t serve you, you’re a string.
Go on. Get out of here. ” So the string goes outside and thinks of a way to look more like a person.
He knots himself toward the top and frays the string to look like a head with hair.
He goes back inside and tries again.
The bartender says suspiciously, “Hey, aren’t you the string that was just in here a few minutes ago? ” The string replies, “I’m afraid not! ” (I’m a frayed knot)
