A few minutes before church services started, the townspeople were sitting in their pews and talking. Suddenly, Satan appeared at the front of the church. Everyone started screaming and running for the exits, trampling each other in a frantic effort to get away from the evil incarnate. Soon everyone had exited the church except for one elderly man who sat calmly in his pew without moving, seeming 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?" The man replied, "Yep, sure do." "Aren't you afraid of me?" Satan asked; Nope, sure ain't." said the man. "Don't you realize I can kill you with a word?" asked Satan. "Don't doubt it for a minute," returned the old man, in an even tone. Did you know that I can cause you profound, horrifying, AGONY for all eternity?" persisted Satan. "Yep," was the calm reply. "And you're still not afraid?" asked Satan. "Nope," said the old man. 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 48 years."

A few minutes after the sermon had started, the townspeople were sitting in their pews and listening. Suddenly, Satan appeared at the front of the church. Everyone started screaming and running for the exits, trampling each other in a frantic effort to get away from the evil incarnate. Soon everyone had exited the church except for a few couples that sat calmly in thier pews without moving, seeming oblivious to the fact that God's ultimate enemy was in his presence. So Satan turned to the priest and said,"Father, all of the un-believers have left, you may continue with your sermon."
