<font size="2">(Sorry, this joke is long. I'm running out of UU jokes!)</font><br><font size="2">The Unitarian Universalist was out in his boat fishing when 
suddenly the Loch Ness Monster rose up out of the lake and attacked his 
boat. The Loch Ness Monster grabbed the bow of the boat in its huge 
mouth, flipped the Unitarian Universalist way up into the air, and 
opened its mouth wide, prepared to catch the guy in its mouth and eat 
him. As the Unitarian Universalist fell towards that huge mouth filled 
with sharp teeth... (Read on for the conclusion of the joke.)</font></p><p>

Regarding the UU about to be eaten by the Loch Ness Monster: As the Unitarian Universalist fell towards that huge mouth filled 
with sharp teeth, without thinking he said, “Oh my God, help me!” 


Suddenly time froze. As the guy hung there in mid-air, a huge voice 
boomed out, “I thought you didn’t believe in a personal God on whom you 
could call in times of crisis!”  “Hey, give me a break, God,” said the 
Unitarian Universalist. “A minute ago I didn’t believe in the Loch Ness 
Monster, either.” <br></font></p><p><font size="2"><b>The Week Ahead</b></font></p><p>
