[SOC] My turn with a bad christmas joke...

[Rob Matherly]

In a small Southern town there was a "Nativity Scene" that showed 
great skill and talent had gone into creating it. 

One small feature bothered me. The three wise men were wearing 
firemen's helmets. 

Totally unable to come up with a reason or explanation, I left. 

At a "Quick Stop" on the edge of town, I asked the lady behind the 
counter about the helmets. 

She exploded into a rage, yelling at me, "You damn Yankees never do 
read the Bible!" 

I assured her that I did, but simply couldn't recall anything about 
firemen in the Bible. 

She jerked her Bible from behind the counter and ruffled through some 
pages, and finally jabbed her finger at a passage. 

Sticking it in my face she said, "See, it says right here, 'The three 
wise man came from afar!'"
