	And sometimes...

	Once there was a religious man. His town was flooded. A bus had come to
evacuate the town, but the man said, "Don't worry. God will save me."

	Then the water was higher. A boat came by to pick him up. "Don't
worry", said the man. "God will save me".

	Then the water was up to the top of the houses. The man sat on a roof,
when a helicopter went by to pick him up. "Don't worry", said the man,
"God will save me".

	Then the water came even higher, and the man drowned. He went to
heaven, and met God. "Why didn't you save me?", asked the man.

	"Who do you think sent the bus, the boat, and the helicopter?", asked
God.
