A Man With No Enemies

Toward the end of the Sunday service, the Minister, who had been preaching about forgiveness, asked, "How many of you have forgiven your enemies?"

80% held up their hands. The Minister, full of himself, raised his voice and repeated his question. All responded this time, except one man, Walter Barnes.

"Mr. Barnes, are you NOT willing to forgive your enemies?"

"I don't have any enemies," he replied gruffly.

"Mr. Barnes, that is very unusual. How old are you, if I may ask?"

"Ninety-eight," he replied. The congregation stood up and clapped their hands.

"Oh, Mr. Barnes, would you please come down front and tell the members of our church how a person can live ninety-eight years and not have an enemy in the world?"

The old man tottered down the aisle, stopped in front of the pulpit, turned to face the congregation, and said simply, "I outlived all them assholes."

Then he calmly, and slowly, returned to his seat.
