Jesus said he had never been to a football match. So we took him, my friends and I. It was a furious battle between the Protestant Punchers and the Catholic Crusaders.
The Crusaders scored first. Jesus cheered wildly and threw his hat high in the air. Then the Punchers scored. And Jesus cheered wildly and threw his hat high in the air.
This seemed to puzzle the man behind us. He tapped Jesus an the shoulder and asked, “Which side are you rooting for, my good man?”
“Me?” replied Jesus, visibly excited by the game. “Oh, I’m not rooting for either side. I’m just enjoying the game.”
The questioner turned to his neighbor and sneered, “Hmm, and atheist.” -Anonymous
