The man in the hole

A man fell down a deep hole in the street. He called for help ...

A doctor came by, wrote out a prescription, and dropped it down the hole.

A priest came by, wrote out a prayer, and dropped it down the hole.

Then another man passed by and dropped into the hole himself. 'Are you crazy?' said the first man, 'I've been looking for a way out of this hole and can't find anything - why would you want to do this?'

'Ah,' says the first man, 'I've been in this hole before, and I know the way out.'
