It only happens in AA


A happy Old-timer, sober 20 years walks in to an AA meeting and sits between two other members.

The newcomer on the left says “I used to work a good program like you and I’ve read all the A.A. books and literature... I'm a real authority on this AA stuff... I had almost 20 years sober and now... I'm only a newcomer because got I drunk again, or... I would have more time, but.... Do you want what I’ve got? Do you want to listen to me? Do you want to know how I think it works? Want me to be your sponsor?â€

Wow! The last one sounds a lot like me, doesn't it?

Take care and straight ahead, John.

Hey, it's just a joke. It doesn't have to be true or necessary or kind. It is supposed to make you laugh.

[wareagle10]

It did. I laughed and laughed, seriously. Is that an oxymoron, laughing seriously?

Take care and straight ahead, John.

It only happens in A. A.

Early one morning I had to take my sponsor to the airport to catch a flight to go speak at an AA convention.

On the way to the airport I asked him “Can you give me some suggestions on how I can have a good weekend while you’re gone?â€

While we're on bathroom humor.......nothing funnier than a fart.

An elder statesman was sponsoring a member who was always playing the big-shot. The big-shot always tried to make himself look good at others expense. He was always hiding a good motive, like sharing an experience or joke, behind a bad motive to show how he was a star of AA and nobody could ever measure up to his stature. The elder statesman decided an object lesson would be just the ticket.

The elder statesman had a huge meal of liver and onions before the meeting he knew the big-shot would be at. Something definitely began to brew in the elders bowels. 15 minutes before the meeting began the elder called the big-shot over to point out some stuff in the Big Book. An SBD (silent but deadly) began to ease out of the elders nether regions. The big-shot began to make faces and his eyes began to water. The elder says "whats your problem, I'm trying to help you" big-shot finally cries uncle and says he can't take the smell of whatever the elder ate before coming to the meeting.

Elder begins to laugh and laugh and says thats just how it stinks when your hiding one of your bad motives behind a good one and it's just as obvious.

Only in A.A.

When I was new in AA my sponsor said “Your problem is you’re grandiose!â€
