An Irishman in a wheelchair entered a restaurant one afternoon and asked the
waitress for a cup of coffee.
The Irishman looked across the restaurant and asked, "Is that Jesus sitting over
there?" The waitress nodded yes, so the Irishman told her to give Jesus a mug of
Guinness Stout on him. She did and Jesus nodded and waved.
The next patron to come in was an Englishman 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 Englishman said, "Give Jesus a cup of hot
tea, my treat." Jesus nodded and waved to him in thanks.
The third patron to come into the restaurant was a redneck on crutches. He
hobbled over to a booth, sat down, and hollered, "Hey there, sweet thang! How's
about gettin' me a cold glass of Coke?"
He, too, looked across the restaurant, saw Jesus and asked, "Is that God's boy
over there?" The waitress once more nodded, so the redneck said, "Give Jesus a
cold glass of your finest and put it on my bill." Jesus again waved and nodded
thanking him.
As Jesus got up to leave, he passed by the Irishman, touched him, and said, "For
your kindness, you are healed." The Irishman felt the strength come back into
his legs, got up, thanked Jesus and danced a jig out the door, yelling and
singing.
Jesus also passed by the Englishman, touched him, and said, "For your kindness,
you are healed." The Englishman felt his back straightening up, and he raised
his hands, thanked and praised the Lord, and then did a series of back flips out
the door.
Then Jesus walked towards the redneck. The redneck jumped up and yelled, "Don't
touch me, Jesus! I'm drawin' disability!"
