Bridge Is Closed For Repair

A handyman at a country resort was working on repairing a bridge that went over a lake and ended in a pleasant beautiful view of the water wildlife and surrounding forest and mountains... He knew he was going to be away for awhile as he needed more tools for the job, so he posted a sign for all to see... DANGER!... BRIDGE CLOSED FOR REPAIR... KEEP OFF!... In big red letters and left.

Meanwhile at the resort The Presbyterian's were holding a retreat and fellowship meeting and there was a break as lunch was announced they all filed out grabbing plates of food as they left... A group of about ten brethren decided to head for the lake and to eat there... They were so involved in conversation, they didn't see the sign and just walked right passed it... They planted themselves on the tables and chairs half way across the bridge and were just sitting down to eat after offering prayer when out comes the handyman.

The handy man coming upon the bridge with his tools does a double take and can't believe his eyes... There are people on his bridge that he closed and posted a sign... So he hollers as loud as he can... GET OFF THE BRIDGE!... One of the men in the group a preacher, hears the fellow hollering but can't quite make out what he's saying, hollers... WHAT WAS THAT!... Commenting to the others maybe he thinks were troublemakers... So the handyman hollers as loud as he can again... I SAID GET OFF THE BRIDGE!

So some of the other men said well assure him we are all Presbyterian's... So the spokesman for the group, holler back... FRIEND!.. WE ARE ALL PRESBYTERIAN'S!... The handyman hollers back... IF YOU DON'T GET OFF THE BRIDGE!.. YOU WILL ALL BE BAPTIST!... Brother Glen
