A Redneck Christmas
In a small Texas town there was
a
"Nativity Scene"
that showed great skill
and talent had gone into creating it.
But one small feature bothered me.
The three wise men were wearing firemen's helmets.
Totally unable to come up with a reason
or explanation, I left.
At a "Quik Stop" on the edge of town,
I asked the lady behind the counter
about the helmets.
She exploded into a rage,
yelling at me,
"You darn Yankees never read your Bibles!"
I assured her that I did,
but simply couldn't recall anything
about firemen in the Bible.
She jerked her Bible from behind the counter
and riffled through some pages,
and finally jabbed her finger at a passage.
Sticking it in my face she said,
"See, it says right here,
'The three wise men came from afar.'"
Sorry. I thought it was kind of funny.
