As it turns out....my joke was a longer, edgier version of Polly's. I had to re-boot the old computer and looked through my old emails and found the note Polly had written me after I posted! Woo hoo! Thank heavens she included my note in her reply or I would have been tearing my hair out! You know, perhaps I didn't post it in the newsgroup, just sent it to Polly. hummmm, maybe that's why I couldn't find it. Yup, that it! Now I remember I didn't want to piggyback on her joke. Like I say, I could hide my own Easter eggs!

In a small Alabama town there was a "Nativity Scene" that showed great skill and talent had gone into creating it.
But 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 "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 read your Bibles!"
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 riffled 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 men came from afar'."
