Me:  Prodigal you look depressed.

Prodigal:  I am.

Me:  What are you going to do?

Prodigal:  I’m still waitin’ for the parade to come marchin’ down my street.

Me:  Maybe this will help.

 

The Pit

 

A man fell into a pit and couldn’t get himself out.

A SUBJECTIVE person came along and said:

“I feel for you, down there.”

An OBJECTIVE person came along and said:

“It’s logical that someone would fall down there.”

A PHARISEE said:

“Only bad people fall into a pit.”

A MATHEMATICAN

calculated how he fell into the pit.

A NEWS REPORTER

wanted the exclusive story on his pit.

A FUNDAMENTALIST said:

“You deserve your pit.”

An I.R.S. man

asked if he was paying taxes on the pit.

A SELF-PITYING person said:

“You haven’t seen anything until you’ve seen MY PIT!”

A CHARISMATIC said:

“Just confess that you’re not in a pit.”

An OPTIMIST said:

“Things could be worse.”

A PESSIMIST said:

“Things will get worse!”

JESUS, seeing the man, took him by the hand and LIFTED HIM OUT  of the pit.
