The Emergency Biscuit Drop 🧺

Last Sunday, Aunt Faye forgot to make biscuits before church, and that’s basically a cardinal sin in her household. She called her grandson and told him to run to the store and grab β€œthe good kind” and get to the church fellowship hall before anyone noticed. He ran like the spirit moved him, pulled up, and tossed the biscuit tin through the back door like it was a top-secret drop.

Problem is, he forgot to take the price tag off… and now Deacon Earl thinks Aunt Faye’s been buying biscuits her whole life.


The Front Porch Philosopher πŸͺ‘

Old Mr. Jimmy sits on his front porch every afternoon like it's a press conference. One day, he hollered at a teenager walking by, β€œYou know what’s wrong with this generation?” Without stopping, the kid yelled back, β€œNo sir, but I bet you’re about to tell me.”
Mr. Jimmy stood up, pointed his cane, and said,

Nope. You passed the test. You actually acknowledged another human being. You’re gonna be just fine.”

The Farmer's Alarm Clock 🌽

Farmer Dale swore he didn’t need no alarm. β€œMy rooster’s better than any iPhone,” he told everyone. But one morning, the rooster was quiet. Dale woke up three hours late, ran outside still wearing his overalls backward, and shouted at the rooster perched on the fence.
The rooster blinked, stretched, and squawked:

β€œDaylight savings, Dale. Read a calendar!”
