CHRISTMAS IN THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE

A man stopped in a small Florida Panhandle town, and noted that there was a "Nativity Scene" which showed great skill and talent had gone into creating it One small feature bothered him -- the three wise men were wearing firemen's helmets. Totally unable to come up with a reason or explanation, he stopped at a convenience store on the edge of town, and asked the lady behind the counter about the helmets.

She gently rebuked me with a smile, "You Damn Yankees! Ya'll never do read your Bible!"

The man assured her that he did, but simply couldn't recall anything about firemen in the Bible.

She lifted her well worn Bible from under the counter and quickly found the page she wanted. Holding it for me to see, she said, "Looky here, it rightly says, 'The three wise men came from afar.'"

Merry Christmas Y'all
