Praise The Lor.. Err Bored!
A courier was travelling across country on a horse. He was in a hurry,
and rode the horse too hard, so it foundered. Needing to continue on his
journey, he went up to a nearby farm and asked the farmer if he could buy a
horse.
"The only horse I have is this one," the farmer said. "Fine, I'll take
it," the courier replied and jumped on the horse's back.
The rather religious farmer told the courier how to control the horse:
"Say 'Praise the Lord' to get the horse to go, and 'Amen' to get it to
stop."
So with a quick "Praise the Lord" the courier was on his way. He made
good time, and his mind wandered as the countryside flew by.
Looking up after a while, the courier realized that a cliff was coming
up, but the horse was showing no indication of slowing down. He began to
panic as the cliff loomed closer, and he found he could not remember the
command to stop the horse. In a real fright, the courier prayed earnestly
for a reminder, and finished his prayer with "Amen." The horse came to a
screeching halt right at the edge of the cliff.
Looking down over the edge, the relieved courier exclaimed, "Praise the
Lord!"
