(Imagine a woman's voice with an EXTREME southern accent telling this:)

My daddy was a preacher, and when I was little, we had visitation.  We
would go to the hospital, and my daddy was just so nice and congenial,
and he just talked to everyone.  So, we were in the elevator one day, 
and there was this woman, in her white hospital coat, and she was rolling
this contraption around with her.  My daddy looked at her and said, 
"Oh, bless your heart, how I would hate to be hooked up to that thing."
She replied, "Me too - it's a rug shampooer!"  So, anyway, we went on
visitation, to visit a family that had come to our church a couple of
times -- and, did you ever notice, the preacher always seems to *know* 
when your house is a wreck, and *that's* when he shows up?  Well,
my daddy kind of got his feelings hurt, because the cars were in
the driveway, the lights were on, the t.v. was going, but no one
would answer the door.  He knocked and knocked, but no one anwered/
So, he took out his little calling card and wrote on the back that 
verse from Revelations -- "Behold I stand at the door and knock, and
if any man hears ...", and stuck the card in the door.  A couple of days
later, he received the card in the mail, and they had scratched all 
that out, and wrote a verse from Genesis -- "I was in the garden, but 
I was naked and could not answer.."

(Also heard this from Bill Cosby...)

You know, when God created things in the beginning, He looked at it and
saw that it was good, said it was good, and it *was* good.  This holds
true for all that He created, sun, moon, stars, trees, animals -- good,
good, good, good.  Man invents, God creates.  Man invents the automobile
and calls it FANTASTIC!  God creates a tree, calls it good.  He didn't
say it satisfied the longing for the greenness of the leaves and love
of nature, etc., etc.  He just said it was GOOD.  Man invents the
refrigerator, calls it MARVELOUS!  God creates a rabbit, calls it GOOD.
The wheels fell off the automobile, and the refrigerator broke down --
the tree still stands and the rabbit
(oops!) rabbit's still running!  GOOD!
