Two strangers attended the same church for several Sundays. None spoke to them. One said, “I will give this church one more chance. If nobody speaks to me next Sunday, I’ll never go there again.”

The other said, “I don’t like this no-speaking in church. If no one speaks to me next Sunday, I’ll speak to someone.”

Next Sunday, the usher happened to seat both of these men, one in front of the other. As usual after service, no one greeted the other. The first man rose to stalk out forever. The second man turned, put out his hand and said, “Good morning, sir, I’m glad to see you. Fine sermon, wasn’t it?”

Both were pleased at having made a friend, and continued to come.
