The local Arkansas preacher's Sunday sermon was, "Forgive Your Enemies." He asked, how many have forgiven their enemies?
About half of the congregation held up their hands.
He glared into the listeners, repeating his question and about 80 percent held up their hands.
Once more he repeated the question and all responded, except one elderly lady.
"Mrs. Jones,” He boomed from the pulpit, “why are you not willing to forgive your enemies?"
"I don't have any," She answered.
"Mrs. Jones, that is very unusual,” the preacher said. “How old are you?"
"Ninety-three." she replied.
"Mrs. Jones, please come down in front and tell the congregation how a person cannot have a single enemy in the world?"
The little sweetheart of a lady tottered down the aisle, turned to face the congregation and said in her clearest voice, "It's easy. I just outlived all the bitches."
