For today, an adaptation of a something told by Kenneth Filkins:

A man fell into a pit and couldn't get himself out.
A Subjective person came along and said: "I feel for you, down there."
An Objective person came along and said: "It's logical that someone would fall into that pit."
A Christian Scientist came along: "You only think you are in a pit."
A Pharasee said: "Only bad people fall into a pit."
A Mathematician calculated how he fell into the pit.
A News Reporter wanted the exclusive story on his fall into the pit.
A Fundamentalist said: "You deserve your pit."
Confucious said; "If you had listened to me, you wouldn’t be in that pit."
Buddha said: "Your pit is only a state of mind."
A Realist said: "That's a pit."
A Scientist calculated the force required (kg.) to raise him out of the pit.
A Geologist told him to appreciate the rock strata in the pit.
An Evolutionist said: "You are a rejected mutant destined to be removed from the evolutionary cycle." In other words, he is going to die in the pit so that he cannot produce any "pit-falling offspring."
The County Inspector asked if he had a permit to have a pit.
A Professor gave him a lecture on The Elementary Principles of the Pit.
An Evasive person came along and avoided the subject of the pit.
A Self-Pitying person said: "You should have seen the pit I fell into!"
A Charismatic said: "Just confess that you're not in a pit."
An Optimist said: "Things could be worse."
A Pessimist said: "Things will get worse!!"
Jesus, seeing the man, took him by the hand and lifted him out of the pit.

Psalm 40:1-2 (KJV);
“I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.”

May God bless you, guys!
