Three ministers a Presbyterian, a Methodist, and a Southern
Baptist and their wives were on a cruise. A tidal wave came
up and swamped the ship.

They all drowned, and next thing you know, they're standing
before St. Peter.

First in line was the Presbyterian and his wife. St. Peter
shook his head sadly and said, "I can't let you in. You were
moral and upright, but you loved money too much. You loved
it so much, you even married a woman named Penny."

St. Peter waved sadly, and poof! Down the chute to the
'Other Place' they went.

Then came the Methodist. "Sorry, can't let you in either,"
said Saint Peter. "You abstained from liquor and dancing
and cards, but you loved food too much. You loved food so
much, you even married a woman named Candy!" 
Sadly, St. Peter waved again, and whang! Down the chute
went the Methodists.

The Southern Baptist turned to his wife and whispered
nervously, "It doesn't look good, Fanny."

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD 
has been earned by

Christopher Hill, 36,
Jacksonville,
Florida

Man arrested after taking cash register from Walmart, 
then trying to carjack 2 people at knifepoint

 A man was arrested Friday after he took a cash register drawer
from the Walmart at River City Marketplace and then tried to
carjack two people at knifepoint.

Christopher Raymond Hill, 36, was arrested on charges of strong arm
robbery, carjacking with firearm or deadly weapon, aggravated
battery with a deadly weapon and trespassing, according to the
Jacksonville Sheriff's Office online inmate information search.

Investigators found the incident began when Hill went into the
Walmart liquor store and asked if he could have change for a $20.
Hill was told by the cashier he would have to buy something and he
then bought a pack of cigarettes.

The cashier, LaToya King, spoke with Action News Jax about the
incident. She said she didn't think twice of Hill, who was dressed
in bright orange, until she opened her cash register.

"When I did that, he leaped over the counter and he grabbed my hand
and I was like, 'Sir, what are you doing?'" King said.

Once the register was open, Hill grabbed the register and ran out
of the store, according to a JSO arrest report.

A witness saw Hill get into a silver Ford SUV, but it did not
appear to start, so he got out and ran.

Police said Hill approached a man who was sitting in the parking
lot near Supercuts. Hill asked the man for a ride and the man
refused.

Hill asked for a ride when he refused the 36-year-old pulled out a
knife cutting his hands and leg. 

"I turned the ignition off, grabbed my keys, opened the door and
boom, there he was," Scott Reardean said.

According to the report, Hill put the cash register in the
Reardean's truck bed and pulled a knife, cutting Reardean on the
hands and leg, the arrest report said.

"I was bascially just doing this, trying to get the knife off me,
and he's like, trying to pull me and he yanked my shirt and ripped
it all up," Reardean said.

Reardean said to Action News Jax that he was able to grab his
pistol from his truck and pointed it at Hill, who then ran away
toward Starbucks.

Hill ran to the car of a woman who was in line at the Starbucks
drive-through. She told police she rolled down her passenger's side
window to see what he wanted and she said Hill opened her door and
got into the car.

The woman said Hill told her to drive because someone was chasing
him. She told police she tried to push him out of the vehicle and
he would not get out. According to the report, she was in fear for
her life, so she got out of her car to to get her Ruger pistol out
of her trunk.

Hill got out of the car and came toward her. She said she pointed
her pistol at him and he ran away.

When police arrived, they found Hill had barricaded himself inside
the bathroom at Supercuts, but he came out when officers ordered
him to.

According to the report, Hill told police, "The reason I was
running and did this was because somebody was after me."

King said she is still shocked about what happened, but she said
she's glad Hill is behind bars.

"Now I know he's locked up and he can't do this to anyone else
again," King said.

As of Monday morning, Hill was still in the Duval County Jail being
held on a bond of $91,512. His next court date is set for July 2.

A guy walks into a gas station and buys a pack
of cigarettes. He pulls one out and starts
smoking it.

The cashier says, "Excuse me sir, but you can't
smoke in here."

The guy says, "Don't you think it's kinda dumb
that I buy them here but can't smoke them here?"

And the cashier replies, "Not at all...we also
sell condoms here."

A young boy called the pastor of a local "corner" church
to ask the pastor to come by to pray for his mother who
had been very ill with the flu.

The pastor knew the family and was aware they had been
attending another church down the road. So the pastor
asked, "Shouldn't you be asking Brother Simon down the
road to come by to pray with your mom?"

The young boy replied, "Yeah, but we didn't want to take
the chance that he might catch whatever it is that Mom has."
