    I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on
 the edge, about to jump off. I immediately ran over and said, "Stop!
 Don't do it!"

    "Why shouldn't I?" he said.
    I replied, "Well, there's so much to live for!"
    "Like what?"
    "Well ... are you religious or atheist?"
    "Religious."
    "Me too!  Are you Christian or Jewish?"
    "Christian."
    "Me too!  Are you Catholic or Protestant?"
    "Protestant."
    "So am I!  Are you Episcopalian or Baptist?"
    "Baptist."
    "Wow!  Me too!  Are you Baptist Church of God or Baptist Church  
    of the Lord?"
    "Baptist Church of God."
    "As am I!  Are you Original Baptist Church of God, or are you
    Reformed Baptist Church of God?"
    "Reformed Baptist Church of God."
    "Me too!  Are you Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of
    1879, or Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1915?"
    "Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1915!"
    To which I said, "Die, heretic scum!" and pushed him off.
