Talking "Forgive Your Enemies"

The preacher, in his Sunday sermon, used "Forgive Your Enemies" as his
subject. After a long sermon, he asked how many were willing to
forgive their enemies. About half held up their hands.
Not satisfied he harangued for another twenty minutes and repeated his
question.
This time he received a response of about 80 percent.
Still unsatisfied, he lectured for another 15 minutes and repeated his
question. With all thoughts now on Sunday dinner, all responded except

one elderly lady in the rear.

"Mrs. Jones, are you not willing to forgive your enemies?"

"I don't have any."

"Mrs. Jones, that is very unusual. How old are you?"

"Ninety three."

"Mrs. Jones, please come down in front and tell the congregation how a
person can live to be ninety-three, and not have an enemy in the world?"

The little sweetheart of a lady tottered down the aisle, very slowly
turned around and said:

"It's easy, I just outlived the *****es."
