Birthday Wishes

One Sunday, a church was recognizing the birthday of one of their oldest members, and old maid school teacher named Mrs. Burns. They called her to the front, sang "Happy Birthday," and then the pastor said: "Now, Eloise, in honor of your 75th birthday, we'd like you to choose the next three hymns."

The elderly woman's face lit up with a smile as she said: "Oh, boy! I've always wanted to do this!" She then pointed to several men in the congregation as she said: "I'll take him and him and HIM!"
