Funerals
Posted: Fri Aug 12, 2005 7:58 pm
A small Bible school in Saskatchewan boasted a class of students with
exceptionally well-to-do parents, with the exception of Jim.
Unlike the rest of the students, Jim needed to work part time to make ends
meet.
On top of this, he had to work extra hard at his studies as it seemed
everything was difficult for Jim.
Then one day, Jim told his teacher he couldn't take his seminar final exam
because of a funeral.
"No problem," the teacher said. "You can make it up the following week."
That week came, and again Jim couldn't take the test due to another funeral.
"You'll have to take the test early next week," the teacher insisted. "I
can't keep postponing it."
"I'll take the test next week if no one dies," Jim said.
By now the teacher was suspicious.
"How can you have so many people you know pass away in three weeks?" the
teacher asked.
"I don't know any of these people," Jim said. "I'm the only gravedigger in
town."
