Well, people, I tried switching it (see comments in last post), tell me what you think. Or add suggestions if you wish.
The Pits
Eleven different people fell into eleven different pits and couldn't get themselves out.
A SUBJECTIVE person said to the person walking by:
"I feel for you, up there."
An OBJECTIVE person said:
"It's logical that I would fall down here."
A PHARISEE said:
"I am righteous! I pray every day on the street corners, why was that not enough to keep me out?!?"
A MATHEMATICIAN
calculated all the mathematical possibilities for his escape from the pit.
A NEWS REPORTER
called his editor and announced he'd stumbled into a great lead for a headline.
A FUNDAMENTALIST said:
"I don't deserve my pit!"
An I.R.S. man
made a note to audit the owner of the pit, to see if he had cheated on his taxes.
A SELF-PITYING person said:
"Woe is me! Everyone come see how horrible my life is now! I am a victim!"
A CHARISMATIC
confessed he was not in the pit.
An OPTIMIST said:
"Things could be worse," and finished drinking his half full glass of water.
A PESSIMIST said:
"Things have been terrible, now they are horrible, and I'm positive they are only going to get worse from now on!"
JESUS, seeing them, took them by their hands and LIFTED THEM OUT of the pits.

I like it better than the first one.

You forgot to credit the author. We all know who wrote this one :)
Oh well... I have to leave something up to people's imaginations.
So wait, the Charasmatic was the only one not in a pit?
Or maybe he was blind and unrepentant and didn't realize he was in a pit because he just wanted to go on a carpet ride (two shekels and a shirt)...
