March 11

A man is being chased by a tiger and he leaps off a cliff in his attempt to get away. Fortunately a tree growing on the side of the cliff breaks his fall. Dangling from it by one arm – tiger pacing above, jutting rocks hundreds of feet below – he yells out in desperation, “Help! Somebody help me!” A voice responds, “Yes?” The man screams, “God, God, is that you?” Again “Yes.” Terrified the man says, “God, I’ll do anything, just please, please help me!” God responds, “Okay then, just let go.”

The man pauses for a moment , and then calls out, “Is anyone else there?”
