An old priest is praying in his church when a man bursts in and says "Father, we have to get out - there's a flood coming!"
The priest says "Don't worry, my son - God will save me."
The man shrugs and runs off.
A little later, the water has started to seep under the door of the church. When the priest is outside inspecting the damage, a jeep pulls up and the driver says "Come on, Father, we have to get out of here - the flood is getting closer!"
"Don't worry, my son," the priest says again. "God will save me."
The water rises, and the priest has to climb to the first floor of the church. Out of the window, he can see a hot air balloon. Inside it are two men. One of them says "Quick, Father - get in and we can escape!"
The priest shakes his head. "I cannot do that, my son. God will protect me from the flood."
The water rises again, and the priest has to climb onto the roof. A helicopter finds him surrounded by water, and they call down to him. Again he refuses, saying that he will be saved through his faith.
Eventually, the priest drowns, and he goes to Heaven, where he is met by God Himself. "Why didn't you save me, Lord?" he asks. "What did I do wrong for you to desert me?"
God takes one look at the priest and rolls His eyes. "I sent you the jeep, the balloon and the helicopter - what more do you want?!"
