A Republican in a wheelchair entered a
restaurant one afternoon and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee. The Republican looked
across the restaurant and asked, "Is that Jesus sitting over there?" The
waitress nodded "yes," so the Republican requested that she give Jesus a cup of
coffee, on him.
The next patron to come in was a Libertarian with a hunched back. He shuffled over to a
booth, painfully sat down, and asked the waitress for a cup of hot tea. He also glanced
across the restaurant and asked, "Is that Jesus over there?" The waitress
nodded, so the Libertarian asked her to give Jesus a cup of hot tea, "My treat."
The third patron to come into the restaurant was a Democrat on crutches. He hobbled over
to a booth, sat down and hollered, "Hey there, honey! How's about gettin' me a cold
glass of Miller Light!" He, too, looked across the restaurant and asked, "Is
that God's boy over there?" The waitress once more nodded, so the Democrat directed
her to give Jesus a cold glass of beer. "On my bill," he said.
As Jesus got up to leave, he passed by the Republican, touched him and said, "For
your kindness, you are healed."
The Republican felt the strength come back into his legs, got up, and danced a jig out the
door.
Jesus also passed by the Libertarian, touched him and said, "For your kindness, you
are healed." The Libertarian felt his back straightening up, and he raised his hands,
praised the Lord and did a series of back flips out the door.
Then Jesus walked towards the Democrat. The Democrat jumped up and yelled, "Don't
touch me! I'm collecting disability."
