Once upon a time there was a very handsome male camel named Alfred with
two huge camel humps.
He fell in love and married a beautiful female camel named Marie, who had
one perfect camel hump.
As time progressed, they became the proud parents of a wonderful baby boy
camel, born with no humps.
They contemplated long and hard on
what to name their beautiful little boy. They finally decided on …
Humpfree. : )

A single guy decided life would be more fun if he had a pet.So he went to the pet store and told the owner that he wanted to buy an unusual pet.
After some discussion, he finally bought a talking centipede, (100-legged bug), which came in a little white box to use for his house.He took the box back home, found a good spot for the box, and decided he would start off by taking his new pet to church with him.
So he asked the centipede in the box, ”Would you like to go to church with me today? We will have a good time.”But there was no answer from his new pet.
This bothered him a bit, but he waited a few minutes and then asked again, ”How about going to church with me and receive blessings?”
But again, there was no answer from his new friend and pet. So he waited a few minutes more, thinking about the situation.
The guy decided to invite the centipede one last time.
This time he put his face up against the centipede’s house and shouted,
“Hey, in there! Would you like to go to church with me and learn about God?”
