Ha, ha, ha!

 Today is Clean Joke Day.  My west coast brother sent me this joke, What do you get when you pour root beer into a square cup?  I like clean jokes.  Here's one of my all time favorites.  It involves water so it must be clean, right?  An old man, a faithful Christian, was told on the news that a big flood was coming.  Rain came, more rain came, a dam broke and the water was rising fast.  The old man stood on his front porch as the water rose.  Suddenly, an old pick-up truck drove up and his neighbor said "Hurry up, get in the truck.  We can still make it to safety."  The old man replied, "You go on, the Lord will take care of me."  Time passed and the water was up on his porch, oozing under the front door.  The old man heard a loud noise and looked out to see a man in a boat.  The man hollered "Hurry up, get in the boat. I'll get you out of here."  The old man still stuck to his belief that God would rescue him and refused the ride.  More time passed, the old house was filling up fast and creaking and groaning.  As the water rose the old man made his way higher and higher.  Finally, he was sitting on the highest point of the roof, clinging to the chimney, while the water lapped around his feet.  As he sat there a helicopter flew over, slowed down, hovered in place, dropped a rope ladder. and through a loud hailer, a voice said "Grab on and we'll take you to safety."  "No thanks, the Lord will save me."  was his faithful reply.  Soon after this encounter, the old house floated off it's foundation, tumbled along in the current and the old man was drowned.  Suddenly he found himself facing the Lord.  "God" he said, "I've trusted in you all my life.  Why didn't you save me from the flood?"  To which God replied "My son, I sent you a truck, a boat and a helicopter.  What more did you want?"
