WELCOME to WEDNESDAY July 19, 2023
Here’s The Story…..
The two-thousand-member Baptist church was filled to overflowing capacity one Sunday morning.
The preacher was ready to start the sermon when two men, dressed in long black coats and
black hats entered thru the rear of the church. One of the two men walked to the middle of the
church while the other stayed at the back of the church. They both then reached
under their coats and withdrew automatic weapons.
The one in the middle announced, “Everyone willing to take a bullet for Jesus stay in your seats!”
Naturally, the pews emptied, followed by the choir. The deacons ran out the door, followed by the
choir director and the assistant pastor. After a few moments, there were about twenty people left
sitting in the church. The preacher was holding steady in the pulpit. The men put their weapons
away and said, gently, to the preacher, “All right, pastor, the hypocrites are gone now. You may begin the service.”
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Have a WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY, people, stay safe,
and whatever you do, don’t forget to laff it up! Peace, I am outta here! Eucman! 😁

Working at a theater box-office ticket window poses many challenges in dealing with people.
When a disgruntled customer at a window exclaimed, “No Tickets?” What do you mean NO TICKETS?”
The women waiting on him smiled sweeting. “I’m terribly sorry, sir,”
she replied. “Which word didn’t you understand?” 😳😳😳
Tuesday’s’ Movie Trivia of the day! What movie is this quote from??? “
“If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine.”
Answer: “Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope”
This cryptic line was said to Darth Vader after Obi-Wan appeared to surrender the fight. Although never explained in the “Star Wars” movies, this meant that, if Darth Vader were to strike Obi-Wan down, he would become a “force ghost”, and much more powerful than he was as a living Jedi.
Obi Wan, also known as Ben, was thought by many movie fans to have martyred himself to inspire Luke to defeat Darth Vader, and also so that he could assist him from beyond the grave. Alec Guinness claimed that it was his idea to have Obi-Wan killed in the first “Star Wars” movie, as he disliked playing the role. George Lucas, however, has always denied this.

“Nice one, James.”
Tuesday’s Quizzler is….
Trixie is the most athletic girl in her grade. She is a star player on the baseball, soccer, and basketball teams. Four boys, Al, Ben, Carl, and Dan have a crush on her. Because Trixie is so passionate about sports, she wants her boyfriend to play the same three sports she does. Here are some facts:
- No two of the four boys plays the same number of the sports baseball, soccer, and basketball.
- Only one boy plays baseball but not soccer, and this boy is either Al or Dan.
- Only one boy plays basketball but not baseball, and this boy is either Ben or Carl.
- Either Al and Carl both play baseball, or neither plays baseball.
- Either Ben and Dan both play soccer, or neither plays soccer.
Who should Trixie date?
Answer: Trixie should date Carl.
Fact 1 can only work if one of the four boys plays only one sport, another plays two sports, a third plays all three sports, and the last plays no sports at all.
From facts 4 and 5, we have four scenarios:
- Al and Carl both play baseball and Ben and Dan both play soccer. This cannot work because now none of the boys can play no sports at all.
- Neither Al nor Carl plays baseball, and neither Ben nor Dan plays soccer. This cannot work because now none of the boys can play all three sports.
- Neither Al nor Carl plays baseball, and Ben and Dan both play soccer. But now neither Al nor Dan plays baseball but not soccer. So, from fact 2, this cannot work.
- Al and Carl both play baseball, and neither Ben nor Dan plays soccer. Since the other three scenarios cannot work, this must be the correct one.
Since Carl plays baseball, fact 3 tells us that Ben plays basketball but not baseball. Now that we know that Al and Carl both play baseball and Ben plays basketball, Dan must be the one who plays no sports at all.
Since Dan does not play baseball, fact 2 tells us that Al plays baseball but not soccer. Now that we know that none of Al, Ben, and Dan play soccer, Carl must be the one who plays all three sports, and therefore the one that Trixie should date.
