Fishing trip

A while ago three church leaders from a local town decided to go fishing together.  There was an Anglican, a Catholic and a Methodist.  They row out into a lake and they fish for a while, when the Anglican says “I need the toilet, back in a minute” jumps out the boat, and walks across the water to the shore.  A few minutes later he returns. The catholic says “I could do with going too”, jumps out of the boat, walks across the water to the shore and returns a few minutes later.  Now the Methodist is amazed, he has just seen a miracle, obviously the faith of these two priests is immense.  He too is a devout believer, so he says “I’ll be back in a minute”, jumps out of the boat and starts splashing around in the water. After pulling him back into the boat, the other two say “I take it you don’t know where the stepping stones are then?”

Now this made me think of two things, firstly how pride can be the downfall of us, and secondly never assume anything, its always better to ask or find out.  And as a third, never go fishing with two wise guys!
