The Old Man and the Flood

(my personal Favorite Joke of all time)


There was an old man of great faith who lived in a town that was about to be hit by a terrible flood. The town was being evacuated as water was already covering the roads. The old man sat on his porch calmly and unafraid. A car pulled up in front of his house, the water almost to deep to drive in. The people in the car called out to the old man "Get in, we'll take you to safety!"
The old man shook his head "Go on, I have faith in God, he'll save me!", so the car drove on.
A short time later, the water had risen so high that it had covered the porch and the old man was upstairs in his house . A boat came up to the house and the people called out to him "Get in the boat, We'll take you to safety!"
Again the old man said from the upstairs window "Go on, I have faith in God, He'll save me!", so the boat went on.
Hours later, the water had risen so that it almost covered the entire house. The old man was now on his roof when a rescue helicopter came by. They called "get on to the helicopter, we'll take you to safety. This is your last chance!"
But the old man refused saying "Go on, I have faith in God, He'll save me!". So the helicopter left.
Well, the water rose so high that the old man drown. He went to heaven, of coarse. When he got there he went straight up to God and asked "Lord, I had faith in you to save me! Why didn't you?"
"I tried!" said God 'Three times I tried to save you ....I sent you a car, a boat and a helicopter!"
