Devil in the Church

[Guest thrasher]

One Sunday morning, everyone in a bright, beautiful, tiny

 

town got up early and went to the local church. Before the

 

services started, the townspeople were sitting in their pews

 

and talking about their lives, their families, etc.

 

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 was evacuated from the church, except for one

 

elderly gentleman who sat calmly in his pew, not moving,

 

seemingly oblivious to the fact that God's ultimate enemy

 

was in his presence. Now this confused Satan a bit, so he

 

walked up to the man and said, "Don't you know who I am?"

 

The man replied, "Yep, sure do."

 

Satan asked, "Aren't you afraid of me?"

 

"Nope, sure ain't," said the man.

 

Satan was a little perturbed at this and queried, "Why

 

aren't you afraid of me?"

 

The man calmly replied, "Been married to your sister for

 

over 48 years."
