The sidesman was taking the collection at a fashionable London church.
He waited patiently while the visitor fumbled in his pocket.
At last the visitor sighed and gave up, muttering, "I can't find any small
change."
"That's quite all right, sir," replied the sidesman.
"It isn't small change that we want."

THE TWENTY- THIRD CHANNEL
 
The TV is my shepherd, I shall not want,
 
it makes me lie down on the sofa
 
it leads me away from the faith
 
it destroys my soul
 
it leads me in the paths of sex and violence
 
for the sponsor's sake.
 
Yea, though I walk in the shadow of my responsibilities
 
There will be no interuption
 
For the TV is with me
 
In the presence of my worldliness.
 
It anoints my head with humanism and consumerism.
 
My covetousness runneth over.
 
Surely lazines and ignorance
 
shall follow me all the days of my life
 
And I shall dwell in the house
 
Watching TV for ever.
 
 
Finally
A lady left a note in her will that she should be cremated - and her ashes
scattered over Harrods to ensure that her daughter visited her at least
twice a week.
