Gabriel came to the Lord and said "I have to talk to
you. We have some
Southerners up here who are causing problems.”
“They're swinging on the Pearly Gates, my horn is missing,
barbecue sauce is all over their robes, their dogs are riding in the chariots,
and they're wearing baseball caps
and cowboy hats instead of their halos.”
“They refuse to keep the stairway to Heaven clean. There are
watermelon seeds and pig feet bones all over the place. AND… Some of them are
walking around with just one wing."
The Lord said, "Southerners are southerners, Gabriel.
Heaven is Home to
all my children.”
“If you want to know about real problems, call the
Devil."
The Devil answered the phone, "Hello? Hold on a
minute."
The Devil returned to the phone, "O.K., I'm back. What
can I do for
you?"
Gabriel replied, "I just want to know what kind of
problems you're
having down there.”
The Devil said, "Hold on again. I need to check on
something."
After about 5 minutes the Devil returned to the phone and
said, "I'm
back. Now what was the question?"
Gabriel said, "What kind of problems are you having
down there?"
The Devil said, "Man, I don't believe this....Hold
on."
This time the Devil was gone 15 minutes.
The Devil returned and said, "I'm sorry, Gabriel, I
can't talk right now. Those Southerners have put out the damn fire and are
trying to install air conditioning.”
