The Pit



John VanHouten Illustration

A man fell into a pit and couldn’t get himself out.

A  subjective  person came  along  and  said, “I  feel  for  you, down there.”


An objective  person came  along  and  said, “It’s  logical  that someone would fall down there.”


A  Pharisee  said, “Only bad people fall into a pit.”


A  mathematician calculated how he fell into the pit.


A news  reporter  wanted  the  exclusive  story  on  his  pit.


A  fundamentalist  said, “You deserve it.”


An  I.R.S. man asked if he was paying his taxes on the pit.


A  self-pity  person  said,  “You  haven’t  seen  anything  until you’ve seen  my  pit.”


An  optimist  said, “Things will get better.”


A  pessimist said, “Things will get worse.”


Jesus, seeing the man, took him by the hand and lifted him out  of the pit.
