Punishment
A man died and was taken to his place of eternal torment by the devil.
As he passed sulfurous pits and shrieking sinners, he saw a man he recognized as a lawyer snuggling up to a beautiful woman.
'That's unfair!' he cried. 'I have to roast for all eternity, and that lawyer gets to spend it with a beautiful woman.'
'Shut up,' barked the devil, jabbing the man with his pitchfork.
'Who are you to question that woman's punishment?'

One of the ladies of the church was cooking a pot of her famous beans for
the church potluck, and her son, Little Johnny, came running through the
house, BB gun in one hand, and a handful of BBs in the other. He tripped and
the BBs, naturally, went right into the pot of beans.
Thinking it over, Little Johnny could think of no reason why he should risk
punishment, so he said nothing.
The dinner went well, and, as usual, the beans were one of the favorite dishes.
The next day, the church secretary, Mary, called Little Johnny's mother and
said, "Jane, your beans were delicious as usual, but what did you put in
them this time?"
Jane replied, "Nothing new, why do you ask?"
Well," said Mary, "this morning I bent over to feed the cat and I shot the
canary. "
