This e-mail came from my brother Paul's address. I don't believe Paul authored it, but he does have a wife named Mary.

Three Men on a Hike
Three men were hiking through a forest when they came upon a large raging,
violent river.
Needing to get to the other side, the first man prayed: 'God, please give
me the strength to cross the river.'
Poof! God gave him big arms and strong legs and he was able to swim across
in about two hours, having almost drowned twice.
After witnessing that, the second man prayed: 'God, please give me
strength and the tools to cross the river.'
Poof! God gave him a rowboat and strong arms and strong legs and he was
able to row across in about an hour, after almost capsizing once.
Seeing what happened to the first two men, the third man prayed:
'God, please give me the strength, the tools, and the intelligence
to cross the river.'
Poof! He was turned into a woman. She checked the map, hiked
one hundred yards upstream, and walked across the bridge.
GO AHEAD, SEND THIS TO A WOMAN WHO NEEDS A GOOD LAUGH AND TO ANY MAN WHO
CAN HANDLE IT!
'If at first you don't succeed, do it the way your wife told you!'
