Subject: A republican/democrat story . .
A Republican in a wheelchair entered a restaurant one afternoon and
asked the waitress for a cup of coffee. The Republican looked across
the restaurant and asked, "Is that Jesus sitting over there?" The
waitress nodded "yes," so the Republican requested that she give Jesus a
cup of coffee on him.
The next patron to come
in was an Libertarian with a hunched back. He shuffled over to a booth,
painfully sat down, and asked the waitress for a cup of hot tea. He also
glanced across the restaurant and asked, "Is that Jesus over there?"
The waitress nodded, so the Libertarian asked her to give Jesus
a cup of hot tea, "My treat."
The third patron to
come into the restaurant was a Democrat on crutches. He hobbled over
to a booth, sat down and hollered, "Hey there, honey! How's about
gettin' me a cold glass of Miller Light!" He, too, looked across
the restaurant and asked, "Is that God's boy over there?" The
waitress once more nodded, so the Democrat directed her to give Jesus
a cold glass of beer. "On my bill," he
said.
As Jesus got up to leave, he passed by the
Republican, touched him and said, "For your kindness, you are
healed." The Republican felt the strength come back into his legs,
got up, and danced a jig out the door.
Jesus also
passed by the Libertarian, touched him and said, "For your kindness, you
are healed." The Libertarian felt his back straightening up, and he
raised his hands, praised the Lord and did a series of back flips out the
door.
Then Jesus walked towards the Democrat. The Democrat
jumped up and yelled, "Don't touch me--I'm collecting
disability!"
