A Indeppendant in a wheelchair, entered a restaurant one afternoon and
asked the waitress for a cup of coffee. The Independant looked across the
restaurant and asked, "Is that Jesus sitting over there?"
The waitress nodded "yes," so the Independant requested that she give
Jesus a cup of coffee, on him.
The next patron to come in was a Republican, with a hunched back. He
shuffled over to a booth, painfully sat down, and asked the waitress for a
cup of hot tea. He also glanced across the restaurant and asked, "Is that
Jesus, over there?"
The waitress nodded, so the Republican asked her to give Jesus a cup of
hot tea, "My treat."
The third patron to come into the restaurant was a Liberal Democrat on
crutches. He hobbled over to a booth, sat down and hollered, "Hey there
honey! How's about gettin' me a glass of wine?" He too looked
across the restaurant and asked, "Isn't that God's boy over there?
The waitress nodded, so the Liberal Democrat directed her to give Jesus a glass of wine. "On my bill," he said loudly.
As Jesus got up to leave, he passed by the Independant, touched him
and said, "For your kindness, you are healed." The Independant felt the
strength come back into his legs, got up, and danced a jig out the door.
Jesus passed by the Republican, touched him and said, "For your
kindness, you are healed." The Republican felt his back straightening up
and he raised his hands, praised the Lord, and did a series of back flips
out the door.
Then, Jesus walked towards the Liberal Democrat, just smiling.
The Liberal Democrat jumped up and yelled, "Don't touch me ... I'm
collecting disability, welfare, and workman's comp."
