This is one of my favorite Lewis Grizzard jokes.
There was a Baptist preacher in Mississippi that had more faith in God than
anyone you’ve ever met.
There was a terrible flood and as the Pearl
River started to rise the preacher sat on his porch and watched
the water come up into his yard.
Two men in a canoe came by and said “Preacher you’d better
get in and come with us, this water is rising fast.”
The preacher thanked them but said “The good Lord will take
care of me.”
A while later the water had risen even more and the preacher
was on his roof.
Two more men came by in a boat and said “Preacher you’ve got
to come with us, this water’s not done rising.”
The preacher thanked them but said “The good Lord will take
care of me.”
A while later the water had risen so high the preacher had
to climb up on top of his chimney and the water was still rising.
A helicopter came along, lowered a rope and the pilot told
the preacher to grab hold and he’d pull him up.
The preacher thanked them but said “The good Lord will take
care of me.”
It wasn’t long after that the preacher was standing in front
of St Peter at the Pearly Gates.
St Peter said “What are you doing here? It’s not your time
yet.”
The preacher said “Well I had faith and knew the good Lord
would take care of me.”

I thought of this joke when I was having my bus moment and hoped the joke was not on me. Thankfully, it was not.
Thanks for stopping by my blog...it led me to yours. I enjoyed the camping and shotgun episodes. As for honey bees..unless someone is very allergic or you have no place for hives..I think you'd like it. Just do the research or find a local beekeeper who will let you join him when he works his or her hives to see if you really are interested.
Island Rider,
It was your bus story that reminded me of this joke lol I'm glad the joke didn't turn out to be on you either!
Carol,
Welcome! I'm not allergic but the idea of having more than one or two on me freaks me out a little. There is a local guy here so I'm going to go and talk to him - I would love to be able to get over my fear and try my hand at it.
