The bartender was washing his glasses, when an elderly Irishman came in.
With great difficulty, the Irishman hoisted his bad leg over the barstool,
pulled himself up painfully, and asked for a sip of Irish whiskey. The
Irishman looked down the bar and said, 'Is that Jesus down there?' The
bartender nodded, so the Irishman told him to give Jesus an Irish whiskey,
too.
The next patron to come in was an ailing Italian with a hunched back, who
moved very slow. He shuffled up to the barstool and asked for a glass of
Chianti. He also looked down the bar and asked if that was Jesus sitting at
the end of the bar. The bartender nodded, so the Italian said to give Him
a glass of Chianti, too.
The third patron to enter the bar was a redneck, who swaggered into the bar
and hollered, 'Barkeep, set me up a cold one! Hey, is that God's Boy down
there?' The barkeep nodded, so the redneck told him to give Jesus a cold
one, too.
As Jesus got up to leave, he walked over to the Irishman and touched him
and said, 'For your kindness, you are healed!' The Irishman felt the
strength come back to his leg, so he got up and danced a jig out the door.
Jesus touched the Italian and said, 'For your kindness, you are healed!'
The Italian felt his back straighten, so he raised his hands above his head
and did a flip out the door.
Jesus walked toward the redneck, but the redneck jumped back and exclaimed,
'Don't touch me! I'm drawing disability allowance!'
