I saw this on a friend’s Facebook page and felt I just had to share it. I thought it was really cool. I just had to share. My friend also has a blog which is here.
So there’s this guy walking down the street and he falls into a great big hole. A doctor walks by and the guy yells up to the doctor ‘hey, I fell in this hole, can you help me out?’ The doctor writes a prescription, throws it into the hole, and walks on.
A priest then walks by and the guy yells up to the priest ‘father, can you help me? I fell into this hole and I can’t get out’. The priest says a prayer, throws down a Bible and walks on.
And then a friend of the guy walks by and the guy yells up ‘hey, buddy, I’m stuck in this hole and -‘ and before he can finish the friend jumps down into the hole.
‘What the hell are you doing?’ the guy says, ‘Now we’re both down here!’
‘Yup’, says the friend, ‘But I’ve been down here before and I know the way out.’
If you are down in a hole, the chances are, a friend will be there to help you find the way out.
A Mixed Bag 
This is a beautiful post Al, thanks for sharing it. It reeks of promise and hope, of love, light and happiness.
You’re welcome. When I saw it, I just had to share it.
The power of true friendship. Love it!
It is. To have someone like this as a friend – out of this world
🙂
That’s what I thought as well 🙂
Great story!
It’s fantastic.
That is brilliant and a very blessed person has a friend like that!
Yes they are.
Great post and I reblogged it. Hugs, Barbara

Good moral, it is good to have people to help you out when you are in a pickle. I like the light hearted tone with a serious moral.
It starts off as a joke, but when you see the end of it, you see the association all the way through
Hey Alastair, I love this! Hugs Paula xx

Thanks Jed. It is really one of a kind, and needed to be shared
Love it, absolutely love it, Alastair! 🙂 xo
Thanks Penny. As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to share it.
I’m glad you did. It’s a great one to share! 🙂
At first I was looking for the punchline, but the punchline hit like a train.
This is the analogy I use…. I am the friend who usually gets in the whole with the one who fell in. I have one or two who will get in the hole with me too. It is what true friendship is! 🙂
I will get down on the hole, and give them a hand out, or walk with them as they go. Funnily enough, the ones who would do it for me, are the ones I have never met in person.
I have a few of those too! 🙂
Perfect way to start my day…thanks Alastair 🙂
You’re welcome Lyn 🙂
