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!"
