wise man

A few minutes before the church services started, the townspeople 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 the evil
incarnate.

Soon everyone had exited the church 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.

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, physical agony
for all eternity?", persisted Satan.

"Yep," was the calm reply.

"And you're still not afraid?", asked Satan.

"Nope."

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."

:cool:
