Minutes before the church services started, the
town's 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 all 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.
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, physical agony forever?"
"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, " I have been married to your sister for 45 years."
