Wise guy
A very religious lady
always became nervous
when flying. So she
always read her Bible as
she traveled. The man
sitting next to her pointed
at the Bible and chuckled. "You don't
believe all that stuff, do you?"
The lady replied, "Of course, I do. It is the
Bible."
"Ha," he grinned. "How about that guy
name Jonah. Do you actually believe he
survived all that time in the belly of a
whale?"
"Well," she thought a moment, "I don't
really know, but when I get to heaven, I'll
find Jonah and ask him." "Yeah," he said
sarcastically, "What if he isn't in
heaven?"
"Then," she smiled, "You can ask him!"
