A Nativity Scene

Our county's diversity.
AKA language barrier.
In a small Southern town there was a "Nativity Scene"
that showed great sk**l and talent had gone into
creating it. One small feature bothered me. The three
wise men were wearing firemen's helmets. Totally
unable to come up with a reason or explanation, I left.
At a "Quick 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 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 through 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.'"

funny made me laugh and I don't even speak southern. It also would be a good illustration on why the Bible is often misunderstood.

The way people talk makes a difference in interpretation.
Cowboy horse dies. He walks to a ranch owned by a Mexican. He tells the owner he wants to buy a horse. Si si senor I sell you the roan. The cowboy says I want the pinto. But senor the pinto doesn’t look that good. Cowboy says he looks good to me I’ll buy him. He rides off on the pinto and the horse tuns into a tree. He comes back to the Mexican and starts yelling at him you sold me a blind horse. The Mexican told him I told you he doesn’t look that good.
