Re: forum length
A few minutes before the church services started, the congregation was
just sitting around chatting. Suddenly, the Devil appeared at the front
of the church.
Everyone started screaming and running for the front entrance, trampling
each other in a frantic effort to get away from evil incarnate. Soon the
church was empty except for one elderly gentleman who sat calmly in his
pew without moving, seemingly oblivious to the fact that God's ultimate
enemy was in his presence.
So the Devil walked up to the man and said, "Do you know who I am?"
The man replied, "Yep, sure do."
"Aren't you afraid of me?" the Devil asked.
"Nope, sure ain't." said the man.
"Don't you realize I can kill you with one word?" asked the Devil.
"Don't doubt it for a minute," returned the old man, in an even tone.
"Did you know that I can cause you profound, horrifying agony for all eternity?" persisted the Devil.
"Yep," was the calm reply.
"And you're still not afraid?" asked the Devil.
"Nope," said the old man.
More than a little perturbed, the Devil asked, "Why aren't you afraid of me?"
The man calmly replied, "Been married to your sister for 48 years."
