Found this on FB. No telling how many times it's been recompressed.

Reminds me of a joke... I think Bill Cosby originally told it:

Flood waters are rising, and a priest takes shelter on the roof of his home. He prays for salvation.

The police tell him he can still make it out, the highway is still above water. But the priest says, "No, God will save me."

Water surrounds the house. A small boat arrives, but the priest says, "No, God will save me."

As the flood waters reach the peak of his roof, a helicopter arrives. Still the priest says, "God will save me."

And he drowns. When he gets to heaven, he asks God, "Far be it from me to question your divine will. But I'm curious, why didn't you save me?"

And God says, "What are you talking about?! I sent the police, a boat, AND a helicopter!"

I think that's one of those that's attributed to Cosby, Carlin, and Mitch Hedberg, sometimes all at the same time.

I feel like I actually remember Cosby telling it. But maybe that's one of those manufactured memories.

Might be, I can't find any references to him telling anything like that, and it doesn't feel like the kind of thing he'd say to me.

He said a lot of weird stuff before he was mega-famous. My parents had a LP on which he joked about his pubic hair.

And his brother, Russel, whom he slept with.
