		<description>Woah, good post.  I hope people take heed.

Oldie but goodie:

A farmer is in Iowa during a flood. The river is overflowing, with water surrounding the farmer&#039;s home up to his front porch. As he is standing there, a boat comes up, The man in the boat says &quot;Jump in, I&#039;ll take you to safety.&quot;

The farmer crosses his arms and says stubbornly, &quot;Nope, I put my trust in God.&quot;

The boat goes away. The water rises to the second floor. Another boat comes up, the man says to the farmer who is now in the second story window, &quot;Jump in, I&#039;ll save you.&quot;

The farmer again says, &quot;Nope, I put my trust in God.&quot;

The boat goes away. Now the water is up to the roof. As The farmer stands on the roof, a helicopter comes over, and drops a ladder. The pilot yells down to the farmer &quot;I&#039;ll save you, climb the ladder.&quot;

The farmer says &quot;Nope, I put my trust in God.&quot;

The helicopter goes away. The water comtinues to rise and sweeps the farmer off the roof. He drowns.

The farmer goes to heaven. God sees him and says &quot;What are you doing here?&quot;

The farmer says &quot;I put my trust in you and you let me down.&quot;

God says, &quot;What do you mean, let you down? I sent you two boats and a helicopter!&quot;</description>
