Christian Communication Training
Saturday is Public Service Day. To celebrate, I’ve posted this YouTube video parody on a public service announcement for Coffee Addiction. Are you a coffee addict? Hi, I’m JoJo and I’m a Coffee Addict.

This week, we’ve been talking about listening and communicating with the world (people of different languages and cultures). It is fitting, then, that we have a Friday Funny that illustrates the humor in not listening to YOURSELF as you ask questions that may be interpreted in odd ways by those of different people. Pastor Tim of Cybersalt.org has some great funnies. Here are a few from his latest contribution to Crosswalk.com. To read more of his humor, click the link following the excerpt.
Lawyer Laughs
The following questions from lawyers were taken from official records nationwide:
1. Was that the same nose you broke as a child?
4. Was it you or your brother that was killed in the war?
5. The youngest son, the 20-year-old, how old is he?
6. Were you alone or by yourself?
14. So you were gone until you returned?
15. Q: She had three children, right? A: Yes. Q: How many were boys? A: None Q: Were there girls?
17. Q: You say that the stairs went down to the basement? A: Yes Q: And these stairs, did they go up also?

I must admit, I had to look at this at least twice to see it. How about you?

Christian Comedian Tim Hawkins invites us to look deeper into the meaning of the song, Do You Hear What I Hear? It never occurred to me before, but he’s right. That song doesn’t make as much sense to me as it once did.
If you need another giggle this Friday, here is your dose of Friday Funnies with Tim Hawkin’s take on Do You Hear What I Hear? You’ll never hear it quite the same way again!

Today is Friday Funnies and, coincidentally, there have been a few songs/videos through the years that bring humor to CHRISTmas. Making it’s debut on the countdown is the adorable old song, I Want a Hippopotomus for Christmas. We don’t do Santa and I know many of you reading don’t either, but this is just an adorable song.
I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas is a Christmas novelty song written by John Rox and performed by Gayla Peevey (10 years old at the time) in 1953. The song peaked at number 24 on Billboard magazine’s pop chart in December 1953.
Remember, too, to have fun and build memories with your family this CHRISTmas. It’s important to communicate what you want-even if others may think it’s silly.

It’s time again for Friday Funnies and this week I have a real treat for you. Two, two, two funnies in one…blog post!
This first one makes me glad I homeschool. If you live in this high school district, you might want to consider it.

This last one just tickles my funny bone. Do they mean they’re leaving the door open while they are gone or is this a cruel joke to get folks to walk into a locked door? You decide.

As we finish our second week of Effective Communication Month, it’s time again, for Friday Funnies. I bring you this YouTube classic video. It is difficult for us non-techies to adjust to new technology and apparently it always was. It appears, way back in Medieval Times, they had the same trouble adjusting from scrolls to books as we do from books to computers. See how, even then, the technical manual was written for folks who already knew how to operate it…

I end our first week of Effective Communication Month with a real life spam funny. This is an actual email I received last week. Notice how “realistic” it looks? ROFL This one’s pretty funny and, even though I’ve never had any encounters with the FBI, I can tell this is not something I need to respond to. What’s wrong with this picture? How can you tell this spammer isn’t really the FBI? Here are a few big red flags:
1. The subject line says, “Email from FBI.”
I’ve never received an email from the FBI, but I don’t think my first contact with the FBI would be an email that said, “Email from FBI.”
2. The From field says “FBI Headquarters” which has an email address of Robert Mueller @ Mueller.com.
I don’t know much about the FBI, but I seriously doubt that an agent would use his personal email address to correspond with someone he doesn’t know. Doesn’t that sort of…I don’t know…”Blow his cover?” In addition, it appears that Agent Mueller has his own business. At least I don’t think Mueller.com is another AOL or Gmail. I guess the FBI doesn’t pay what it used to.
3. The time stamp says it arrived in my inbox at 10:42 pm.
I guess Agent Mueller was working late at FBI Headquarters that night. Or was he working on his business and just forgot that he didn’t send me this attachment?
4. It is addressed to infors @fbi.gov.
It appears Agent Mueller has sent this attachment to a bunch of us. If he had just sent it to me, wouldn’t it be addressed to jojo @artofeloquence.com? For that matter, doesn’t it look like Agent Mueller got things a bit backwards? Shouldn’t it be FROM infors @fbi.gov and TO Robert Mueller? Come to think of it, shouldn’t it be from INFO @fbi.gov? Was this a misspelling? Typo? Or did he mean ENFORCE @fbi.gov? Maybe FBI agents can’t spell.
5. Doesn’t the text message appear a bit…sparse?
I’d be willing to bet that the FBI doesn’t often use flowery language and probably isn’t real big on detailed explanations to private citizens, but “Email from FBI?” Shouldn’t it say something more…I don’t know…descriptive? “Meet me behind the old shack at noon. And come alone!” LOL
6. The PDF attachment title also appears a bit GENERIC.
Oh, wait! I know. Of course! It’s purposely nondescript in order to hide its true identity! “document1.pdf” is code for something like, “Blueprints of the First National Bank of Nigeria.”
Wait! It’s ALL in code! That’s why it looks so ridiculous! It’s all just to throw the others off the track. I’d better open that attachment and see what it’s all about. The FBI NEEDS me! My country’s counting on me! It’s probably some top secret G14 Classified mission!
Oh…Um…just forget everything I posted. Uh…I wonder if I can get that memory flashy thingie from Men In Black.
