"The Three Ships" joke

In a small seaside village, Lived a very holy man who lived there happily until one day it began to flood. It rained for days and days until eventully, the holy man was on his roof. He prayed to god, and it rained, and it rained. One day, a boat came along and asked if he needed help. The man replied "
My lord will save me!"
And so, the man prayed and prayed, and it rained. Next day, a cruiser came along and someone asked if he needed help. The man replied "
My lord will save me!"
again.
So, again, he sat on his roof and prayed. While it rained.
But another day, a giant ship came along and a woman with children asked if he needed help. The man replied "
My lord will save me!"
one again.
And so, the poor man was drowned, and when he was in heaven, he asked god "
Why diddnt you save me?"
and god replied: "
Well, I did send three boats along to save you!"
