Postmortem
A guy comes home from work one day to find his dog with the neighbors' pet rabbit in his mouth. The rabbit is very dead, and the guy panics.
He thinks the neighbors are going to hate him forever, so he takes the dirty, chewed-up rabbit into the house, gives it a bath, blow-dries its fur and puts the rabbit back into the cage at the neighbors' house, hoping that they will think it died of natural causes.
A few days later, the man of the house is outside and asks the guy, "Did you hear that Fluffy died?"
The guy stammers, "Um ... no ... um ... what happened?"
The neighbor says, "We just found him dead in his cage one day. We buried him in the backyard.
"But the weird part is that the day after we buried him, we went outside and saw where someone dug him up, gave him a bath and put him back into the cage."

Standby
Every Easter, a church stages an elaborate pageant. One year the man who played Pontius Pilate had to work on the night of the dress rehearsal, and a chorus member substituted for him. As they began rehearsing Pilate's solo, the conductor stopped the orchestra.
"Pilate, I don't hear you," he called out. "You're not loud enough."
"Pilate is at work," a voice on the stage shouted back. "We've got our co-Pilate tonight."
Church notices
This being Easter Sunday, we will ask Mrs. Cusworth to come forward and lay an egg on the altar.
Baptisms: After Easter, the north and south ends of the church will be utilized. Children will be baptized at both ends.
Actual wisdom
"Depend on the rabbit's foot if you will, but remember it didn't work for the rabbit." - R.E. Shay
Pray if you must
Young Ernie and his family were invited to have Easter dinner at his grandmother's house. Everyone was seated around the table as the food was being served. When Ernie received his plate, he started eating straight away.
"Ernie, wait until we say grace," demanded his father.
"I don't have to," the 5-year-old replied.
"Of course you do, Ernest," his mother insisted, rather forcefully. "We always say a prayer before eating at our house."
"That's at our house," said Ernie. "But this is Grandma's house, and she knows how to cook."
Chocolate rules
If you've got melted chocolate all over your hands, you're eating it too slowly.
A box of chocolates can provide your total daily intake of calories in one go. Isn't that handy?
Chocolate is derived from cacao beans. Beans are considered a vegetable. Sugar is derived from either sugar cane or sugar beets. Both are plants, which places them in the vegetable category, too. Therefore chocolate is a vegetable.
Chocolate-covered raisins, cherries, orange slices and strawberries all count as fruit, so eat as many as you want.
Chocolate also contains milk, which is dairy. So candy bars are a health food.
Diet tip: Eat a chocolate bar before each meal. It'll take the edge off your appetite and you'll eat less.
If calories are an issue, store your chocolate on top of the fridge. Calories are afraid of heights, and they will jump out of the chocolate to protect themselves.
The problem: How to get 2 pounds of chocolate home from the store in a hot car. The solution: Eat it in the parking lot.
For a balanced diet, eat equal amounts of dark chocolate and white chocolate.
If you can't eat all of your chocolate, it will keep in the freezer. But if you can't eat all your chocolate, what's wrong with you?
Put "eat chocolate" at the top of your list of things to do today. That way at least you'll get one thing done.
