Sleeping with Mommy (Joke)

TODAY'S FUNNY...
A man returned from a trip when a big storm hit their town, with crashing thunder and severe lightning. When he got home and into his bedroom at about 2 a.m., he found his two children in bed with his wife, apparently scared by the loud storm. He resigned himself to sleep in the guest bedroom that night.
The next day, he talked to the children, and explained that it was okay to sleep with Mom when the storm was bad, but, in the future, when he was expected home, please don't sleep with Mom that night. They said okay.
After his next trip several weeks later, his wife and the children picked him up in the terminal at the appointed time. Since the plane was late, everyone had come into the terminal to wait for his plane's arrival, along with hundreds of other folks waiting for their arriving passengers.
As he entered the waiting area, his son saw him and ran toward him shouting, "Hi, Dad! I've got some good news!" As he waved back, Dad said loudly, "What's the good news?"
"Nobody slept with Mommy while you were away this time!" the boy shouted. The airport became very quiet, as everyone in the waiting area looked at the man's son, then turned to him, and then searched the rest of the area to see if they could figure out exactly who his Mom was.

Bud's World

I was just wondering:

Why do people who know the least know it the loudest?

Why do they call it the ‘Department of the Interior’
when they’re in charge of everything outdoors?

Why do we sing ‘Take me out to the ball game’ when we’re already there?

Why is there Braille print on drive-through ATM machines?

History of the Hymns

‘O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go’ (1882) Page 480
Words: George Matheson (1842 – 1906)
Music: Albert L. Peace (1844 - 1912)
George Matheson, engaged to be married, learned he would soon be totally blind. His fiancĂ©e said, “I cannot marry a blind man” and left him with his dreams shattered. He thought of taking his life, but instead took hold of himself as he wrote the moving hymn, “O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go” on June 6, 1882.
This blind preacher and poet later penned these words—
“My God, I have never thanked Thee for my thorns.
I have thanked Thee a thousand times for my roses, but not once for my thorns.
I have been looking forward to a world where I shall get compensation for my cross;
but I have never thought of my cross as itself a present glory.
Teach me the glory of my cross: teach me the value of my thorn.
Shew me that I have climbed to Thee by the path of pain.
Shew me that my tears have made my rainbow.”
Albert Peace wrote the musical tune: "St. Margaret" for Matheson's text for The Scottish Hymnal of 1885. He named the tune "Margaret," which is a favorite name in Scotland and it has also been said that the tune may have been named in honor of his fiancé.
