Food-for-thought
LAUGH BUT THINK.
A man fell into a pit and couldn't get himself out.
A social worker came along and said, "I feel for you down there."
A construction supervisor walked by and said, "I told them that someone would fall down there."
A Pharisee said, "Only bad people fall into pits."
A mathematician calculated how deep the pit was.
A news reporter wanted the exclusive story on the pit.
An Income Tax officer asked if the man was paying taxes when he used the pit.
A self-pitying person said, "You haven't seen anything until you’ve seen my pit."
A fire-and-brimstone preacher said, "You deserve your pit."
A psychologist noted, "Your mother and father are to blame for your being in that pit."
A therapist said, "Believe in yourself and you can get out of that pit."
An optimist said, "Things could be worse."
A pessimist claimed, "Things couldn’t be worse."
Jesus, seeing the man, took him by the hand and lifted him out of the pit.
