An
old joke goes like this:
A
guy is driving around and sees a sign in front of a house: Talking Dog For
Sale. He rings the bell and the
owner tells him the dog is in the backyard. The guy goes out and sees a Lab sitting there.
“You
talk?” he asks.
“Yep,”
the Lab replies.
“So, what’s your
story?”
The
Lab says, “Well, I discovered that I could talk when I was pretty young and I
wanted to help the government. So
I told the CIA and in no time they had me eavesdropping on spies and world
leaders. For 8 years I was 1 of
the most valuable spies. But I got
tired and I wanted to settle down.
I retired and was awarded a batch of metals. I got married, had a mess of puppies, and now I’m retired.”
The
guy goes back and asks how much for the dog?
“$10,”
he’s told.
"Why
so cheap? The dog is amazing."
“He’s
a liar. He didn’t do any of that stuff.”
Think
Jesus was addressing situations like this when he said, “Simply let your ‘Yes’
be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No’…”? :)
