Living Hell



------------------------------------------------------------------------


A few minutes before the church services started and the townspeople 
were sitting in their pews talking, Satan suddenly 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 had exited the church except for one elderly gentleman
who sat calmly in his pew without moving, seemingly oblivious to the
fact that God's ultimate enemy was in his presence. 

So Satan walked up to the old man and said, "Don't you know who I am?"

"Yep, sure do."

"Aren't you afraid of me?"

"Nope, sure ain't."

"Don't you realize I can kill you with a word?"

"Don't doubt it for a minute."

"Did you know that I could cause you profound, horrifying, physical
AGONY for all eternity??"

"Yep," was the calm reply.

"And you're still not afraid??" asked Satan.

"Nope."

More than a little perturbed, Satan asked, "Well, why aren't you 
afraid of me?"

The man calmly replied, "Been married to your sister for over 48 years."
