CONVERSATION ON A BRIDGE
\nby Emo Phillips <\/p>\n
I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump off. So I ran over and said “Stop! don’t do it!” <\/p>\n
“Why shouldn’t I?” he said. <\/p>\n
I said, “Well, there’s so much to live for!” <\/p>\n
He said, “Like what?” <\/p>\n
I said, “Well… are you religious or atheist?” <\/p>\n
He said, “Religious.” <\/p>\n
I said, “Me too! Are you Christian or Buddhist?” <\/p>\n
He said, “Christian.” <\/p>\n
I said, “Me too! Are you Catholic or Protestant?” <\/p>\n
He said, “Protestant.” <\/p>\n
I said, “Me too! Are you Episcopalian or Baptist?” <\/p>\n
He said, “Baptist!” <\/p>\n
I said, “Wow! Me too! Are you Baptist Church of God or Baptist Church of the Lord?” <\/p>\n
He said, “Baptist Church of God!” <\/p>\n
I said, “Me too! Are you original Baptist Church of God, or are you reformed Baptist Church of God?” <\/p>\n
He said, “Reformed Baptist Church of God!” <\/p>\n
I said, “Me too! Are you Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1879, or Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1915?” <\/p>\n
He said, “Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1915!” <\/p>\n
I said, “Die, heretic scum”, and pushed him off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
