One Sunday in church the pastor asks, „How many of you have forgiven your enemies?“ All people raise their hands – except one old woman. The pastor is surprised.
„Mrs Jones, are you not willing to forgive your enemies?“ he asks.
„I don't have any enemies,“ Mrs Jones replies, smiling sweetly.
The pastor looks impressed. „Mrs Jones, that's very unusual. How old are you, if I might ask?“
„Ninety-eight,“ she answers.
„Mrs Jones, would you please come to the front of the church and tell us how a person can live 98 years and not have an enemy in the world?“
Mrs Jones walks slowly to the front of the church, smiles at the pastor and says, „I outlived the bitches.“
