Hush

One day at church, a priest delivers a sermon about the importance of forgiving your enemies.

When he is a third of the way through the sermon, he says, "Raise your hand if you are now willing to forgive your enemies." Half of the people in the church raise their hands, so the priest continues the sermon. When he is two thirds of the way through the sermon, he says, "Raise your hand if you are now willing to forgive your enemies." Three quarters of the people in the church raise their hands, so the priest continues the sermon. When he has completely finished the sermon, he says, "Raise your hand if you are now willing to forgive your enemies." All the people in the church raise their hands, except one little old lady. The priest goes to the old lady and asks, "Why are you still unwilling to forgive your enemies?" "Simple," the old lady replies. "I have no enemies." "How old are you?" "96." "And you have no enemies?" "None at all." The priest is amazed. "Come up to the front with me!" So the priest and the old lady go up to the front of the church. The priest says, "Please explain to my entire congregation how it is possible that you have no enemies!" "Simple," says the old lady. "I outlived them all."
