A man is stranded in the ocean.

And he begins praying to God. "Dear god, please, surely you will save me."

A couple minutes later, a boat comes by. "Hey buddy, do you need a ride or something?"

The man responds "No, no, I'm waiting for our holy lord to save me, but thank you."

Another boat comes driving up. This one from the coast guard. "Hey, are you ok out here? We can boat you back into shore."

To which the man responds "No thank you, I am waiting for our holy father to save me from this dilemma."

The coast guard cruises away. Then, a man in a rowboat comes rowing up. He says "Hey, I was out fishing, when I noticed you look a little stranded. Need a hand?"

The man replies, almost annoyed, "No, I do not need help. God almighty will save me from this predicament."

The boater rows away.

After a while, the man gets frustrated that he had no been saved. "God, why have you not saved me? I have waited and waited, but still nothing."

To which God replies "Well, I sent three boats your way, but you didn't use any of them."
