Two preachers were in a boat out on a rather large lake discussing biblical theology and what to do their next sermons on. Each had his notes, his bible and a large scratch pad and markers to scratch notes and diagram things.
It wasn't long before a pickup truck full of troublesome teens came brambling up the road that runs beside the lake. Hearing them coming, one of the pastors hurried and wrote "TURN BACK SOON, THE END IS NEAR" with a black magic marker in large letters. He held it up so that the passers by could see it. Of course they only shouted obscenities and made a few rather crude gestures.
About 2 minutes went by and all of a sudden the two preachers heard a lot of screaming and then a really loud splash.
Contemplating this for a minute...then.. one looked at the other and said.. "well, do you suppose they would have understood it any better had we put "BRIDGE OUT AHEAD" instead.
