You've probably heard it before but here goes:

There was a flood in this town and they had to evacuate the city.  A
man is standing in water up to his knees and a rowboat comes along 
and the people say "Can we give you a helping hand?"  The man in the water
says "No thank you, I have faith in the Lord, He'll save me."

A little later on when the water is up to the man's waist, a motor boat comes
along and the people say "Can we give you a helping hand?"  The man in the
water says "No thank you, I have faith in the Lord, He'll save me."

A little later on when the water is up to his neck, a helicopter comes by
and the people say "Can we give you a helping hand?"  The man in the water
says "No thank you, I have faith in the Lord, He'll save me."

Well, finally the water goes over the man's head and he drowns.  He goes to
heaven and sees God and he says to God = "Lord, I had faith in you and I 
drowned anyway.  What happened?" 

And God said: "I sent you two boats and a helicopter!"


    I thought it was funny (and no, I won't sign this)
