Just for laughs

I have been wanting to write something about my hometown but since it is getting late and I have not been able to shake off this pain on my neck and shoulder, I have decided to have an early rest.

Here's a joke that was forwarded to me. Sometimes we need to laugh a bit too. Laughter, as they say, is the best medicine.

Atheist and the Bear


An atheist was walking through the woods.

'What majestic trees'!

'What powerful rivers'!

'What beautiful animals'!

He said to himself.

As he was walking alongside the river, he heard a rustling in the bushes
behind
him.

He turned to look. He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him.

He ran as fast as he could up the path. He looked over his shoulder & saw
that
the bear was closing in on him.

He looked over his shoulder again, & the bear was even closer. He tripped &
fell
on the ground. He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear was
right on top of him, reaching for him with his left paw & raising his right
paw
to strike him.

At that instant the Atheist cried out, 'Oh my God!'

Time Stopped.
The bear froze.
The forest was silent .

As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky. 'You deny
my
existence for all these years, teach others I don'texist and even credit
creation to cosmic accident.' 'Do you expect me to help you out of this
predicament? Am I to count you as a believer'?

The atheist looked directly into the light, 'It would be hypocritical of me
to
suddenly ask you to treat me as a Christian now, but perhaps you could make
the
BEAR a Christian'?

'Very Well,' said the voice.

The light went out. The sounds of the forest resumed. And the bear dropped
his
right paw, brought both paws together, bowed his head & spoke:

'Lord bless this food, which I am about to receive from thy bounty through
Christ our Lord, Amen.'
