Christian
A country preacher decided to skip services one Sunday and head to the hills to do some bear hunting. As he rounded the corner on a perilous twist in the trail, he and a bear collided, sending him and his rifle tumbling down the mountainside. Before he knew it, his rifle went one way and he went the other, landing on a rock and breaking both legs.
That was the good news. The bad news was the ferocious bear charging at him from a distance, and he couldn't move.
"Oh, Lord," the preacher prayed, "I'm so sorry for skipping services today to come out here and hunt. Please forgive me and grant me just one wish please make a Christian out of that bear that's coming at me. Please, Lord!"
That very instant, the bear skidded to a halt, fell to its knees, clasped its paws together and began to pray aloud right at the preacher's feet. "Dear God, bless this food I am about to receive."
How Do You Spell That?
Almost 150 years ago, President Lincoln found it necessary to
hire a private investigator - Alan Pinkerton - for protection.
That was the beginning of the Secret Service. Since that time
federal police authority has grown to a large number of multi-letter
agencies - FBI, CIA, INS, IRS, DEA, BATF, etc.
Now comes the "Federal Air Transportation Airport Security Service."
Can't you see them now, these highly trained men and women in their
black outfits with their initials in large white letters across their backs:
"FATASS." I feel safer already.
