An Old Preacher Never Dies ...

Those who know me well know I like a good joke. Every now and then when I have a moment to spare, I text my friend Hazel and have an odd but entertaining conversation. It usually starts by one of us making a pun and the other responding with another pun and so on until one of us gives up. We've lasted over an hour before now and our most recent conversation was highly amusing. I thought I would share with you a few snippets of our conversation.

It began when Hazel shared a joke she had read in a magazine: "Old accountants never die, they just lose their balance." To which I replied, "Old cleaners never die, they just need a polish."

Here are the rest; some you may have heard and some are our original creations. Enjoy!
