All of the parishioners ran from the building in terror; except for one little old man who remained in the front pew. The devil walked up to the old man and said, "Do you know who I am?" "Yep, sure do", replied the old man. Aren't you afraid of me?", asked the devil. To which the old man replied, "Why should I be? I've been married to your sister for the past 52 years!"
