a leap of faith

A man walked along the edge of a cliff, then took a fateful step
in the wrong direction. He managed to grab on to a shallow ledge,
but knew that he couldn't keep the grip for long. So he shouted:
"Is there anybody up there who can help me?"

After a while, the man is answered from above: "Loosen your grip
and let yourself fall, my son. I will catch you."

Then the unhappy man answered: "Is there anybody else up there!?"

Prayer for a Sysadmin

Lord,
grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the people -
I had to kill because they pissed me off.

Amen

fishing on the Loch Ness

An atheist was spending a quiet day fishing when suddenly
his boat was attacked by the Loch Ness monster. In one easy
flip, the beast tossed him and his boat high into the air. Then
it opened its mouth to swallow both.

As the man sailed head over heels, he cried out, "Oh, my
God! Help me!"

At once, the ferocious attack scene froze in place, and as the
atheist hung in mid-air, a booming voice came down from the
clouds, "I thought you didn't believe in Me!"

"Come on God, give me a break!!," the man pleaded.
"two minutes ago I didn't believe in the Loch Ness monster either!"
