3 Wise Men

Newark, OH(Zone 5b)

In a very small southern town there was a "Nativity Scene" that showed great skill and talent had gone into creating it. One small feature bothered me, though: The three wise men were wearing Firemen's helmets.

Totally unable to come up with a reason or explanation, I left. At a "Quik Stop" on the edge of town, I asked the lady behind the counter about the helmets.

She exploded into a rage, yelling at me, "You darn Yankees never do read the Bible!"

I assured her that I did, but simply couldn't recall anything about firemen in the Bible.

She jerked her Bible from behind the counter and ruffled thru some pages, and finally jabbed her finger at a passage.
Sticking it in my face she said "See, it says right here..."

"...The three wise man came from afar!"
