My personal favorite is by Mark Twain.

The above quote is awesome, too. It conveys a lot of meaning to me, especially when prayed from the heart.

My favorite is the black holes one... But I'm sort of a math nerd

Here's my favorite joke though... Only because I know a Dominican priest. I laughed for like 10 minutes when I read this the first time. (Easily amused I guess)

-------------------------------

A Franciscan and Jesuit were debating which order was the greatest. So, they decided to ask for a sign from God. This is what they received falling down from heaven:

My sons,

Please stop bickering about such trivial matters,

Sincerely,
God, O.P.
