Bergmal

Much has been written of the silence of stones,
their ungiving presence weighting the world
with dumbshow when blessing is most needed.
But there is one rock, when round and ripe,
whose chimes in silver, sometimes gold,
echo not in the ears but in the heart.
When Diana waxes in full glory, take yourself
out into the night and stand in her embrace,
your vault of sorrows open to wisdom transcending
all that can be proved by the unforgiving sterility of science.
Look to the sky as you weep for the sound of a gentle voice
and you shall have your healing.

An old man walked into a pub, grabbed a seat at the bar and ordered a double scotch, which the barman promptly served him. After drinking the glass in one shot, he asked for another.
The old man said "How about a little friendly bet, my friend?". The barman agreed and asked what the bet is.
The old man said "I’ll bet you $30 that I can bite my left eye. The barman was puzzled but accept the bet. The old man then removed his glass eye and bit it right before drinking his second glass of scotch in one shot.

A priest walked into a pub and ordered a pint of Guinness. "There you go," said the barman, “but I warn you – we don't tolerate any religious conversation in this pub."
“Far be it from me," replied the priest. "In fact, I’ll bet you a drink that you mention religion before I do." "You're on," said the barman.
The priest sipped his pint, played a couple of songs on the jukebox, went to the loo, came back and flipped his penis out on the bar. "Jesus Christ!" said the barman.

The bartender leaned over the counter, motioned to Adam, looked left & right and whispered, "Friend, I know this ain't none of my business, but you know, I used to stutter a whole lot. But my wife found the cure. You interested?"
"Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sure!" said Adam.

"My wife heard about this cure: she performed all kinds of magical, passionate, kinky sex
with me and I was cured right then and there."

A shabby-looking man walked into an upscale bar full of businessmen and ordered a Scotch. The bartender looked him over and says, "Sir, I don't believe you can afford the drinks at this establishment. May I ask that you go somewhere else?"
The man shrugged and said, "You're right. I don't have any money on me. But I'll tell you what. I can show you a miracle. If I do, can I have one on the house?"
The bartender sighed & nodded, and the man took a hamster out of the pocket of his overcoat. Before the bartender can tell the man animals aren't allowed, the man leaned down to the hamster and said, "Play."

A man walked into a bar & asked for 40 year old scotch.
The bartender said "I'll see what I can find in back."
he returned a few minutes later with a glass and gave it to the man, who took a sip and said, "I asked for 40 year old scotch. This is only 12 years old."
Impressed, the bartender went into the back once again. He came back with another glass and handed it to the man, who sniffed it and took a sip.
“This isn’t 40 years old either. You've given me 20 year old scotch,” he said.
