A few minutes before the church services started, the towns
people were sitting in their pews and 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 his pew without
moving, seemingly oblivious to fact that God's ultimate enemy was
in his presence.
So Satan walked up to the old man and said, "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?" asked 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.
"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."
