Joe was a very religious man.
One day, the river rose over the banks and flooded the town, and he was forced to climb onto his porch roof.
While sitting there, a man in a boat comes along and tells Joe to get in the boat with him.
Joe says "No, that's ok. God will take care of me."
So, the man in the boat drives off.
The water rises, so Joe climbs onto his roof.
At that time, another boat comes along and the person in that one tells Joe to get in.
Joe replies, "No, that's ok. God will take care of me."
The person in the boat then leaves.
The water rises even more, and Joe climbs on his chimney.
Then a helicopter comes and lowers a ladder. The woman in the helicopter tells Joe to climb up the ladder and get in.
Joe tells her "That's ok."
The woman says "Are you sure?"
Joe says, "Yeah, I'm sure God will take care of me.
Finally, the water rises too high and Joe drowns.
Joe gets up to Heaven and is face-to-face with God.
Joe says to God, "You told me you would take care of me! What happened?"
God replied, "Well, I sent you two boats and a helicopter. What else did you want?"
