A few minutes before the church services started, the congregation was sitting in their pews and talking. Suddenly, the Devil appeared at the front of the church.
Everyone started screaming and running for the front entrance, trampling each other in a frantic effort to get away from the evil incarnate. Soon the church was empty except for one elderly gentleman who sat quietly in his pew without moving, seemingly oblivious to the fact that God's ultimate enemy was in his presence.
So Satan walked up to the man and said, "Do you know who I am?"
The man replied, "Yep. Sure do."
"Aren't you afraid?" Satan asked.
"Nope. Sure ain't." said the man.
"Do you realize I can kill you with one word?" asked the Devil.
"Don't doubt it for a minute," returned the old man, shaking his head calmly.
"Do you realize that I alone can cause you profound, horrifying AGONY for all of eternity?" persisted Satan.
"Yep." he sighed.
"And you are still not trembling?" queried the perplexed Devil.
"Nope." said the old man.
More than a little perturbed, the Devil asked,
"Well then, just explain why you aren't shocked in my presence?"
The man simply replied, "Been married to your sister for 48 years.
The Devil
