Merry Christmas from one of them!
Redneck Wise Men
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
"Quik 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 thru 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.'"

Zip, the subject Bible is the new unabridged version, and the next verse would have noted that the "far" they had just came from was the one they set that burned down the Wisconsin policeman's house, (http://forums.gunbroker.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=278919 )
Reading on further you, we would have learned they were returning home to Macon. [:D] East Macon, of course.0
