Old Man Jim

One Sunday morning, everyone in one bright, beautiful, tiny town got up early and went to the local church. Before the services started, the towns people were sitting in their pews and talking about their lives, their families, etc. Suddenly, Satan appeared at the front of the church. Everyone started screaming and running for the front entrance, trampling each other in a frantic effort to get away from evil incarnate.

Soon everyone was evacuated from the Church, except for Old Man Jim who sat calmly in his pew, not moving seemingly oblivious to the fact that God’s ultimate enemy was in his presence. Now this confused Satan a bit, so he walked up to Old Man Jim and said, “Don’t you know who I am?” Old Man Jim replied, “Yep, sure do.” Satan asked, “Aren’t you afraid of me?” “Nope, sure ain’t,” said Old Man Jim.  Satan was a little perturbed at this and queried, “Why aren’t you afraid of me?” Old Man Jim calmly replied, “Been married to your sister for over 48 years.”
