Missionary's Horse
There's this guy who had been lost and walking in the desert
for about 2 weeks. One hot day, he sees the home of a
missionary. Tired and weak, he crawls up to the house and
collapses on the doorstep. The missionary finds him and
nurses him back to health.
Feeling better, the man asks the
missionary for directions to the nearest town. On his way
out the backdoor, he sees this horse. He goes back into the
house and asks the missionary, "Could I borrow your horse
and give it back when I reach the town?"
The missionary says, "Sure but there is a special thing
about this horse. You have to say 'Thank God' to make it
go and 'Amen' to make it stop."
Not paying much attention, the man says, "Sure, ok." So he
gets on the horse and says, "Thank God" and the horse
starts walking. Then he say, "Thank God, thank God," and
the horse starts trotting. Feeling really brave, the man
says, "Thank God, thank God, thank God, thank God, thank
God" and the horse just takes off at a full gallop.
Pretty soon he sees this cliff coming up and he's doing
everything he can to make the horse stop. "Whoa, stop,
hold on!!!!" Finally he remembers, "Amen!!"
The horse stops 4 inches from the cliff. The man leans back
in the saddle and says, "Thank God!"
