A man tumbles off of a cliff and manages to grab hold of a lone branch jutting out from the sheer rock face (JUST like in cartoons). He’s too far down to clamber back up, while below him is a 500 foot drop.
Desperate, he raises his eyes to Heaven and says, ‘If there’s anyone listening, please...give me faith.’
Immediately, a voice from the sky intones, ‘If you truly have faith, my son, let go of the branch.’
The man pauses for a few seconds, looks again at the drop below him and says, ‘Umm...is there someone else up there I could talk to?’
