~What a coincidence ~ (From Dean)

A man sat at a local bar and said, "This is a special day, I'm celebrating."

"What a coincidence," said the woman next to him. "I'm celebrating, too" she replied, clinking glasses with him.

"What are you celebrating?"

"I'm a chicken farmer and for years all my hens were infertile, but today they're finally fertile."

"What a coincidence," the woman said, "for my husband and I have been trying to have a child". Today, my gynecologist told me I'm pregnant! How did your chickens become fertile?" she asked.

"I switched roosters," he replied.

"What a coincidence," she said. ***

~Just Love Those Nuns~ (From Phyllis)

Mother Superior called all the Nuns together one evening and said to them: "I must tell you all something. We have a case of Gonorrhea in the convent."

"Thank God," said an elderly Nun at the back. "I'm so sick of Chardonnay." ***

~Church Service~ (From Rich)

An elderly couple was attending church services, about halfway through she leans over and says, “I just had a silent fart what do you think I should do?" He replies “Put a new battery in your hearing aid." ***
