The Pope & Sailor
Pope John Paul dies of old age and finds himself at the gates of Heaven at 0300.
He knocks on the gate and a sleepy-eyed watchman opens the gate and asks,
"Waddyah want?"
"I'm the recently deceased Pope and have done 68 years of godly works
and thought I should check in here."
The watchman checks his clipboard and says,
"I ain't got no orders for you here. Just bring your stuff in and we'll sort it out in the morning."
They go to an old WWII barracks, 3rd floor, open bay.
All the bottom racks are taken and all empty lockers have no doors.
The Pope stows his gear under a rack and climbs into an upper bunk.
The next morning he awakens to sounds of cheering and clapping.
He goes to the window and sees a flashy Jaguar convertible
parading down the clouds from the golden headquarters building.
The cloud walks are lined with saints and angels cheering and tossing confetti.
In the back seat sits an Aussie sailor; his medals glistening on his chest,
a Havana cigar in his mouth, a can of San Miguel beer in one hand,
and his other arm around a voluptuous blonde Angel with magnificent halos.
This sight disturbs the Pope and he runs downstairs to the Master-at-Arms shack and says,
"Hey, what gives? You put me, the Pope with 68 years of godly deeds,
in an open bay barracks, while this Aussie sailor,
who must've committed every sin known and unknown to man
is staying in a mansion on the hill and getting a hero's welcome. How can this be?"
The Master at Arms calmly looks up and says,
"Hey, we get a Pope up here every 20 or 30 years,
but we've never had an Aussie sailor before.

Whether due to the ravages of war, environmental disaster, changes in generations, or simple lack of money, many resorts that were once places to escape to for fun and relaxation have been left abandoned, desolate and overrun by nature.

The Evils of Drink
John was sitting outside his local pub one day, enjoying a quiet pint and generally feeling good about himself, when a nun suddenly appears at his table and starts decrying the evils of drink.
"You should be ashamed of yourself young man! Drinking is a Sin! Alcohol is the blood of the devil!"
Now John gets pretty annoyed about this, and goes on the offensive.
"How do you know this, Sister?"
"My Mother Superior told me so."
"But have you ever had a drink yourself? How can you be sure that what you are saying is right?"
"Don't be ridiculous--of course I have never taken alcohol myself"
"Then let me buy you a drink - if you still believe afterwards that it is evil I will give up drink for life"
"How could I, a Nun, sit outside this public house drinking?!"
"I'll get the barman to put it in a teacup for you, then no one will ever know."
The Nun reluctantly agrees, so John goes inside to the bar.
"Another pint for me, and a triple vodka on the rocks", then he lowers his voice and says to the barman "and could you put the vodka in a teacup?"
"Oh no! It's not that Nun again is it?"

Shaving Does Not Affect Hair Growth
Shaving does not make your hair grow back thicker, stronger, faster, or any other “er”. In fact, contrary to what parents the world over tend to tell their kids when their kids start shaving, it has been proven by numerous studies going all the way back to the 1920s that shaving has absolutely no effect whatsoever on your hair growth rate.
