One day, three men were hiking and unexpectedly

came upon a large raging, violent river. They needed to

get to the other side, but had no idea of how to do so.

The first man prayed to God, saying, "Please God, give

me the strength to cross this river."

Poof! God gave him big arms and strong legs, and

he was able to swim across the river in about two hours,

after almost drowning a couple of times.

Seeing this, the second man prayed to God, saying,

"Please God, give me the strength...and the tools to

cross this river."

Poof! God gave him a rowboat and he was able to

row across the river in about an hour, after almost

capsizing the boat a couple of times.

The third man had seen how this worked out for the

other two, so he also prayed to God saying, "Please God,

give me the strength and the tools...and the intelligence...

to cross this river."


And poof God turned him into a woman. She looked at

the map, hiked upstream a couple of hundred yards, then

walked across the bridge.
