I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on the
edge, about to jump off. So I ran over and said "Stop! don't do it!" "Why
shouldn't I?" he said. I said, "Well, there's so much to live for!" He
said, "Like what?" I said, "Well...are you religious or atheist?" He said,
"Religious." I said, "Me too! Are you Christian or Buddhist?" He said,
"Christian." I said, "Me too! Are you catholic or protestant?" He said,
"Protestant." I said, "Me too! Are you Episcopalian or Baptist?" He said,
"Baptist!" I said,"Wow! Me too! Are you Baptist church of god or Baptist
church of the lord?" He said, "Baptist church of god!" I said, "Me too! Are
you original Baptist church of god, or are you reformed Baptist church of
god?" He said,"Reformed Baptist church of god!" I said, "Me too! Are you
reformed Baptist church of god, reformation of 1879, or reformed Baptist
church of god, reformation of 1915?" He said, "Reformed Baptist church of
god, reformation of 1915!" I said, "Die, heretic scum", and pushed him
off. -- Emo Phillips
