It was Sunday morning and the people were in their
church pews talking.
Suddenly, Satan 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, everyone had exited the church except for one
elderly gentleman who sat calmly in pew without
moving, seeming oblivious to the fact that God's
ultimate enemy was in his presence.
So, Satan walked up to the old man and roared, "Don't
you know who I am?"
The man replied, "Yep, sure do."
"Aren't you afraid of me?" Satan asked.
"Nope, sure ain't." said the man.
"Don't you realize I can kill you with a word?"
snarled Satan.
"Don't doubt it for a minute," returned the old man,
in an even tone.
"Did you know that I could cause you profound,
horrifying, AGONY for all eternity?" persisted Satan,
hissing.
"Yep," was the calm reply.
"And you're still not afraid?" asked Satan.
"Nope," said the old man.
More than a little perturbed, Satan asked, "Well, why
aren't you afraid of me?"
The man calmly replied, "Been married to your sister
for 48 years."
