Fwd: Annoying e-mail which may damage our friendship

I hate forwarded e-mails. I hate getting ominous warnings that turn out to be hoaxes (some of which are so old I am well aware they are a hoax for I've looked them up on Snopes ages ago or they even appear in my Urban Legends book); I hate chain letters that tell you if you don't send the e-mail to at least "10 people you love" or "20 friends" or what-have-you then your computer will get some horrible virus or worse- you'll die alone. And I also, despite having a good sense of humor, hate getting jokes.

Still, I just read a joke that I surprisingly enjoyed. It was clean, for one thing. It goes as follows: A minister was visiting parishoners one Saturday morning when he got to a house with the car in the driveway and other obvious signs that the person he was calling on was at home. Still, when he knocked on the door and called out, no one came to the door. Feeling a bit upset, he left his card with Revelation 3:20 scrawled on it. The next day, Sunday, he received in the collection plates his card back with the cryptic message: Genesis 3:10 and not quite knowing what this Scripture said he looked it up in his Bible and then errupted in laughter. Revelation 3:20 says "Here I am. I stand at the door and knock" and the response, Genesis 3:10 read "I heard your voice in the garden and hid for I was naked and was afraid."

Hope you liked it too. If not, at leasts I didn't send it to you via email. But if you don't copy this blog post and post it onto your own blog, your readership will dwindle and Tom will cancel your myspace account. Don't say I didn't warn you!
