Bud's World

I was just wondering:
Why did kamikaze pilots wear helmets?
Why does “fat chance” and “slim chance” mean the same thing?
Why do you press harder on the buttons of a remote control when you know the batteries are dead?

From the Choir Loft
Our choir sang the patriotic musical ‘Spirit of America’ for the residents at ‘St. Columban’s On The Lake’ on Tuesday night (9/11), and sang at The Grape Festival in Silver Creek on Friday night (9/14). All in one week! They did an outstanding job and the audience response has been absolutely overwhelming. This was great exposure for our church and its music ministry. We are actively seeking participants for our upcoming Christmas season (singers & non-singers). We will be presenting our Christmas musical at Sheridan United Methodist Church and at St. Joe’s Roman Catholic Church in North Tonawanda. If you or someone you know would like to join us for our Christmas musical, please contact Bud Lowery 716.934.7734 or tubamanbud@gmail.com) or call the church office 716.672.2048.

Puns ‘R Us:
“Marriage is the mourning after the knot before.”
“Corduroy pillows are making headlines.”
“Sea captains don’t like crew cuts.”
“Does the name Pavlov ring a bell?”
“A gossip is someone with a great sense of rumor.”
“Santa’s helpers are subordinate clauses.”
“Acupuncture is a jab well done.”
