A few minutes before the services started in the local church, 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 evil incarnate. Soon everyone had exited the
church except for one elderly gentleman who sat calmly in his pew
without moving, seeming 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.
"Do 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 old man calmly replied, "Been married to your sister for 48 years."
