In a little church out in the country, the pastor was giving a good
sermon. Right in the middle of it, the doors to the back of the church opened and in walked Satan himself.
Needless to say, panic ensues and the church is emptied in a matter of seconds.
All except one old man sitting alone.
The Devil walks over to him and says, "Hey old man, don't you know who I am?"
The old man replies, "Yup. You're the Prince of Darkness."
There's no fear in the old man's voice or face. This bothers Satan so he asks, "Aren't you afraid of me?"
The old man responds, "Nope".
"Why aren't you afraid of me? Everyone else is."
"I'm not afraid of you because I was married to your sister for over 30 years."
In a similar church, the new pastor said to the congregation, "Okay, for next week's sermon, please read Mark chapter 16."
Next Sunday he asks for hands up who's read Mark 16 in its entirety. Nearly everyone raised their hand proudly.
He then says, "I will now do my sermon on honesty. Take a look, you'll see there is no chapter 16 in the Gospel of Mark."
