Southern Nativity Scene
[Internet Funnies] [Home]
In a small Southern town there was a Nativity scene that showed great skill
and talent had gone into creating it. One small feature bothered me. The
three wise men were wearing firemen's helmets. Totally unable to come up
with
a reason or explanation, I left.
At a Quik Stop on the edge of town, I asked the lady behind the counter
about
the helmets. She looked skeptically at me, "You Yankees never do read the
Bible!" I assured her that I did, but simply couldn't recall anything about
firemen in the Bible.
She jerked her Bible from behind the counter and ruffled thru some pages,
and
finally jabbed her finger at a passage. Sticking it in my face she said,
"See, it says right here, 'The three wise men came from afar.'"
