The Pit

Eleanor Adams

A man fell into a pit and couldn't get himself out.

A SUBJECTIVE person came along and said:
"I feel for you, down there."

An OBJECTIVE person came along and said:
"It's logical that someone would fall down there."

A PHARISEE said:
"Only bad people fall into a pit."

A MATHEMATICIAN calculated
how he fell into the pit.

A NEWS REPORTER wanted
the exclusive story on his pit.

A FUNDAMENTALIST said:
"You deserve your pit."

An I.R.S. AGENT asked
if he was paying taxes on the pit.

A SELF-PITYING person said:
"You haven't seen anything until you've seen MY PIT!"

A CHARISMATIC said:
"Just confess that you're not in a pit."

An OPTIMIST said:
"Things could be worse."

A PESSIMIST said:
"Things will get worse!"

JESUS, seeing the man,
Took him by the hand, and
LIFTED HIM OUT of the pit!
