A Bad Joke and Some Good Deals

A Bad Joke 🙂

On a dark and stormy night, I was driving home and as I was crossing the last bridge I saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump. I jumped out of my car and ran over and yelled: “Stop. Don’t do it.”

“Why shouldn’t I? My wife died and there is nothing to live for!” He threatened as he leaned further over the edge… “Well,” I stammered, “there’s so much to live for!”  He sneered, “Like what?  I just told you my wife died, I had nothing left.” Tears streamed down his face.
My mind went blank and I said a silent prayer…”Are you religious?” I asked him.  He said, “Yes.” I proclaimed, “Me too! Are you Christian?”

He said, “Yes.” I was delighted! “Me too,” I replied, “Are you Roman Catholic or Protestant?”

“Protestant.” He responded, as he stopped leaning so far over the edge.

“Me too. Are you Reformed, Baptist or Pentecostal?” I asked. “Reformed.” He stated, as the tears stopped winding down his sullen face. “Wow. Me too!” I exclaimed, “Do you subscribe to the 3 Forms of Unity or Westminster Standards?”

“3 Forms of Unity.” He said. I spotted a slight smile glimmer across his face for a split second. “Me too! You must be of Dutch descent?” I queried.

“Yes.” He said as he began to turn around and lift a leg over the rail.

I asked, “Are you Dutch Reformed Church, or are you Reformed Church in the Netherlands ?”

” Reformed Church in the Netherlands  .” He said

“Wow. Me too. I bet we are related!  We could be long lost cousins! Are you liberated?” He said: “No.”

I said: “Die, heretic scum!” and pushed him off.
