Humour Corner
Atheist and the Loch Ness monster
An atheist was spending a quiet day fishing when suddenly his boat was attacked by the Loch
Ness monster. In one easy flip, the beast tossed him and his boat high into the air. Then it
opened its mouth to swallow both.
As the man sailed head over heels, he cried out, "Oh, my God! Help me!"
At once, the ferocious attack scene froze in place, and as the atheist hung in mid-air, a booming
voice came down from the clouds, "I thought you didn't believe in Me!"
"Come on God, give me a break!!" the man pleaded. "two minutes ago I didn't believe in the Loch
Ness monster either!"
