A guy is in a sailboat on the ocean when a storm
comes up.  A powerboat pulls up to him and offers
to tow him to safety. He says "I am a devout man,
I know that God will save me - you go ahead into
shore."  The storm gets a worse.  A coast guard
patrol boat pull up to him and offers to tow him to
safety.  He says again "I am a devout man,
I know that God will save me - you go ahead into
shore."  The storm is getting terrible now - waves splash
over his little boat.  A helicopter comes out hovering
over the boat and drops a ladder down to the man.
He waves them off, saying again "I am a devout man,
I know that God will save me"
The storm rages out of control, the man is swept off
the boat and drowns.  Being a devout man, he goes up
to heaven - where he meets God.  He asks of God:
"I have worshipped you all my life, yet you did
not save me from the storm, why?"
God replies: "Dumbass. I sent a powerboat to get you,
I sent the Coast Guard to get you, I sent helicopters
out to save you...."
