A Southern Interpretation
In a small southern town I saw a wonderful "Nativity Scene," but one
feature bothered me. The three wise men were wearing firemen's
helmets.
Unable to come up with a reason or explanation, I left. At a "Quik
Stop" on the edge of town, I asked the lady behind the counter about
the helmets.
She exploded into a rage, yelling at me, "You darn Yankees never do
read the Bible!" I assured her that I did, but simply couldn't recall
anything about firemen in the Bible.
She jerked her Bible from behind the counter and ruffled through some
pages, and finally jabbed her finger at a passage. Sticking it in my
face she said "See, it says right here, 'The three wise men came from
afar.'"
