A Republican, in a wheelchair, entered a restaurant one afternoon and
asked the waitress for a cup of coffee. The Republican looked across
the restaurant and asked, "Is that Jesus sitting over there?” The waitress
nodded "yes," so the Republican requested that she give Jesus a cup
of coffee, on him.
The next patron to come in was a Libertarian, with a hunched back. He
shuffled over to a booth, painfully sat down, and asked the waitress
for a cup of hot tea. He also glanced across the restaurant and asked, "Is
that Jesus, over there?"
The waitress nodded, so the Libertarian asked her to give Jesus a cup
of hot tea, "My treat."
The third patron to come into the restaurant was a Democrat on crutches.
He hobbled over to a booth, sat down and hollered, "Hey there honey!
How's about getting me a cold mug of Miller Light?" He too looked
across the restaurant and asked, "Isn't that God's boy over there? The
waitress nodded, so the Democrat directed her to give Jesus a cold beer. "On my
bill," he said loudly.
As Jesus got up to leave, he passed by the Republican, touched him and
said, "For your kindness, you are healed." The Republican felt the
strength come back into his legs, got up, and danced a jig out the door.
Jesus passed by the Libertarian, touched him and said, "For your
kindness, you are healed." The Libertarian felt his back straightening up and
he raised his hands, praised the Lord, and did a series of back flips
out the door.
Then, Jesus walked towards the Democrat, just smiling. The Democrat
jumped up and yelled, "Don't touch me .... I'm on disability."
