The Negro Prayer (that Was So Funny- But So True)
Got this in a e-mail and wanted to share!
Back in the days of steam ships, only rich white people were allowed to sail at sea. One day while sailing, something suddenly happened to the ship. It was about to sink. Terrified, the white folks aboard didn't know what to do.
Someone suggested that they do what the Negros did..."Pray".
Unfortunately, no one knew what to say. So they called "Thomas", a black cook on the ship and asked him to pray. Thomas agreed, came up on deck, removed his cap and began like this:
"Lawd one day I wuz hongray, I went to a restrant to git me
sumpin'to eat!.. An da sign said: 'FOR WHITE FOLKS ONLY.' Den, I went to da water fountin to git me some wauter an da sign said 'FOR WHITE FOLKS ONLY.' Den Lawd, I went to de toilet room and da sign said: 'FOR WHITE FOLKS ONLY'. So Lawd Almitee... when dis hear big 'ol boat sanks, let it
be 'FOR WHITE FOLKS ONLY.' In yo name I pray... AMEN.
This is the day the Lord Has Made; let us rejoice and be glad in
it. Ps.118:24
