Jerry Clower once told a joke about a preacher who lived in the Appalachian Mountains, and who drove far too fast. His friends worried a great deal about the old man. One day a young man named Joe who knew the pastor was behind him on a narrow mountain road, and he recognized the minister's beat up old sedan. The preacher was going far to fast, and the narrower the road the faster he drove. Suddenly, much to Joe's horror, Pastor Brown's car went off the side of the mountain, rolled ten times, and came to rest next to a stream a hundred feet below. Joe screeched to a stop, jumped out of his car, and ran down the mountainside. Now the old man's car burst into flames! However, thankfully the pastor climbed out the driver's window just in time, and just before the entire automobile was consumed by fire. Joe screamed, "Preacher, Preacher, are you alright?" To which the preacher replied in a deep sanctimonious kind of voice, "Well, yes, thank you. The Lord is riding with me!" To which Joe responded, "Well, you better let Him ride with me before you kill Him!"
