Redneck Nativity Scene
An Outsider in a small Texas town around Christmas time, saw a “Nativity Scene” that showed great skill and talent had gone into creating it. But one small feature was all wrong: the three wise men were wearing firemen’s helmets.
Totally unable to come up with a reason or explanation, he left. At a “Quik Stop” on the edge of town, he asked the lady behind the counter about the helmets.
She exploded into a rage, yelling, “You darn Yankees never read your Bibles!”
The Outsider assured her that he did, but simply couldn’t recall anything about firemen in the Bible.
She jerked her Bible from behind the counter and riffled through some pages, and finally jabbed her finger at a passage. Sticking it in the guys face she said, “See, it says right here, ‘The three wise men came from afar.'”
