It\'s a few minutes before Sunday service.
Without warning, Satan appears at the front of the church.
Everyone starts screaming and running for an exit, trampling on each other in a bid to escape evil incarnate.
Everyone except for one elderly gentleman, that is.
He sits calmly, seemingly oblivious to the fact that God\'s ultimate enemy was in front of him.
Satan walks right up to the old man and says: \"Don\'t you know who I am?\"
The man replies: \"Yep, sure do.\"
\"Aren’t you afraid?\" Satan asks.
\"Nope, sure ain\'t,\" says the old man.
\"Do you know I can kill you with a single word?\" asks Satan.
\"Don’t doubt it for a minute,\" retorts the old man, in an even tone.
\"Don\'t you realise that I could cause you profound, horrifying agony for all eternity?\" persists Satan.
\"Yep,\" is the calm reply. \"And yet you\'re still not afraid?\"
\"No.\"
Perturbed, Satan asks: \"Well why aren\'t you afraid of me?\"
The old man looks Satan right in the eye and calmly replies
\"I\'ve been married to your sister for 52 years.\"
