This old Texas cowboy went to the local church and asked if he could join.
The preacher said, "OK, but you have to pass a small Bible test first."
He only got as far as the first question, "Where was Jesus born?"
The old man answered, " Longview ."
The preacher said, "Sorry, that's the wrong answer. You can't join our church."
Soooooo, he went to another church and asked if he could join.
The preacher said, "We would love to have you, but you have to pass a Bible test first.
Where was Jesus born?"
The man said, " Tyler "
The preacher said, "Sorry, that ain't the right answer. You can't join our church."
Soooo ... he goes to another church, and again asks to join.
This time, the preacher said, "That's great; we welcome you with open arms."
The man said, "You mean it? I don't have to pass no Bible test first?"
The preacher said, "No."
The man said, "Well in that case, can I ask you a question?"
The preacher said, "Sure."
The man said, "Where was Jesus born?"
The preacher replied, "In Palestine."
The man mumbled to himself, "Well Heck, I knew it was over in east Texas ,somewhere."
