Remember that joke about the fellow in New Orleans immediately after Hurricane Katrina? He was stuck up on his roof when a fellow came by in a canoe. "Hop in before you drown!"
"No," said the man, "I trust in God and He'll save me!" So the canoeist went away.
Later that day a police boat came by. "Get in and we'll take you to safety!"
"No," said the man, "I trust in God and He'll save me!" So the cops went away.
Next day a helicoper came by and dropped a rope ladder to him. "Climb up the rope and we'll take you to safety!"
"No," said the man, "I trust in God and He'll save me!" So the helo flew away.
The guy eventually drowned.
When he got to heaven, he tracked down God. "What the fark was that? I put my faith in you and you didn't save me!"
"Whaddyamean, I didn't save you? You didn't save yourself! I sent you a man in a canoe, some cops in a speedboat and even a helicopter. Whaddyawant, an engraved invitation?"
