A few minutes before the Sunday service 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
doors, 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, 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, then, why aren't you
afraid of me?"
The man calmly replied, "Been married to your sister for over 48
years."
