The strange Christmas scene.....

In a small southern town there was a "Nativity Scene" that showed great skill and much talent had gone into creating it. One small feature bothered the northern tourist.

Snowman The three wise men were wearing firemen's helmets.

Totally unable to come up with a reason or explanation,the tourist left. At a "Quik Stop" on the edge of town, she asked the lady behind the counter about the helmets. The store clerk exploded into a rage, yelling at her, "You stupid Yankees never do read the Bible!" The tourist assured her that she did, but simply couldn't recall anything about firemen in the Bible.

The clerk jerked her Bible from behind the counter and ruffled through some pages, and finally jabbed her finger at a passage. Sticking it in the tourists face she said "See, it says right here, 'The three wise man came from afar.'"
