JOKE OF THE DAY 20 Sep 2005

Dividing Pecans

On the outskirts of town, there was a big old pecan tree by
the cemetery fence. One day two boys filled up a bucketful
of nuts and sat down by the tree, out of sight, and began
dividing the nuts. "One for you, one for me. One for you,
one for me," said one boy. Several were dropped and rolled
down toward the fence.

Another boy came riding along the road on his bicycle. As he
passed, he thought he heard voices from inside the cemetery.
He slowed down to investigate. Sure enough, he heard, "One
for you, one for me. One for you, one for me." He just knew
what it was. "Oh my," he shuddered, it's Satan and the Lord
dividing the souls at the cemetery. He jumped back on his
bike and rode off.

Just around the bend he met an old man with a cane, hobbling
along. "Come here quick," said the boy, "you won't believe what
I heard. Satan and the Lord are down at the cemetery dividing
up the souls."The man said, "Beat it kid, can't you see it's hard
for me to walk." When the boy insisted, though, the man hobbled
to the cemetery. Standing by the fence they heard, "One for you,
one for me. One for you, one for me." The old man whispered, "Boy,
you've been tellin' the truth. Let's see if we can see the devil
himself." Shaking with fear, they peered through the fence, yet
were still unable to see anything. The old man and the boy gripped
the wrought iron bars of the fence tighter and tighter as they
tried to get a glimpse of Satan.

At last they heard, "One for you, one for me. And one last one
for you. That's all. Now let's go get those nuts by the fence,
and we'll be done."

They say the old guy made it back to town five minutes before
the boy.
