> "Nope, sure ain't." said the man.

> "Don't you realize I can kill you with a word?" asked Satan.

> "Don't doubt it for a minute," returned the old man, in an even tone.

>
> "Yep," was the calm reply.
>
> "And you're still not afraid?" asked Satan.
>
> "Nope," said the old man.

> More than a little perturbed, Satan asked, "Well, why aren't you

> The man calmly replied, "Been married to your sister for 48 years."
