Satan in Church
It was a typical Sunday in one of those backward southern states in the U.S., and the local populations were out in force, making their ways to the nearest church, so that they could fulfill their religious obligations (and catch up on the gossip)
In one such church, in a small town not far from civilization, a typical church assembly was held. People tried not to laugh at the deaf organ player, and tried equally hard to remember the words to the hymns that he was singing. One person suggested that they move to a more contemporary style. The Beatles for instance. After all, he reasoned with the vicar, they're as popular as Jesus? Right?
Proceedings to an unusual twist when Satan appeared at the altar. People fled the church, as people usually do when shit like that happens. Satan seemed particularly impressed with this reaction, which he silently compared to the time when Bill Clinton walked into the AGM of the American Feminist Society, but he noticed that one person remained in his seat, who he knew to be Mr Lowry. The man appeared to be very calm and collected, so Satan questioned him.
"How come you didn't run out of the church, like everyone else did when I arrived? Your supposed to tremble in fear!", said Satan.
To which the man replied, "Scared? Of you? I've been married to your sister for ten years."
