Humor From "At Home in Mitford"

Sky Divin'

"Well, this feller he wanted to learn to sky dive, don't you know.

And so he goes to this school and he takes all kind of trainin' and all, and one day comes the time he has to jump out of this airplane, and out he goes, like a ton of bricks, and he gets on down there a little ways and commences to pull th' cord and they don't nothin' happen, don't you know, and so he keeps droppin’ and he switches over and starts pullin' on his emergency cord, and they still don't nothin’ happen, an' th' first thing you know, here comes this other feller, a shootin' up from the ground, and the feller goin' down says, "Hey buddy, do you know anything about parachutes?"

And the one comin' up says, "Nope. Do you know anything about gas stoves?"

Mitford Cookbook & Kitchen Reader

You've probably heard of the popular Mitford fiction series by Jan Karon. Father Tim, and all the rest are legends in the minds of millions of Mitford fans around the world. This joke from At Home in Mitford really tickled my funny bone, and I hope it does the same for you.

(Christian Foodie Alert: Did you know there’s a Mitford Cookbook? I just discovered it. Scrumptious! Look inside. Puny's Recipe for Potato Salad.)
