A preacher has fallen through a rope bridge crossing a raging river. He's managed to grab a rope and is dangling in mid-air.

A man calls to him from the bridge "Do you need any help preacher?" "No, no. I've put my faith in God, he'll look after me".

A boat comes along and the skipper tells him to drop to the deck "No, no. I've put my faith in God, he won't let me down".

The preacher eventually falls into the river and is eaten by a crocodile. He gets to Heaven and says to God "I've served you, had faith in you - what happened?" And God says "Well, I don't know, I sent a man and a boat..."
