Two women are discussing Christmas and the first says “I can’t stand these supposed miracles.”
The second replies: “Oh, you mean the stuff about the Virgin Birth?”
“No, I’m all right with that. But Three Wise Men.
Really?”

It took me a minute Jay to get the joke (I was always slow on the uptake) but when I did i loved it. Only wise man I ever knew was Joe Evans.

I saw Judy Collins in early January and she told this joke ia slightly varied punch line…’Three WISE Men.’ Remarkable show…she’s 83, gave a 90 minute performance standing in spike heels, and a voice that hasn’t lost much since she was 25….and closed with an Amazing Grace singalong:

Jay, it was worth sending along. Thanks. I enjoyed the comments from Joan and Jim. I wonder how Jim knew the spelling from Judy Collins’ own telling of the joke. – Love, Tom
She spoke it as 3 words, not as the 2 in Jay’s version…
Judy and Tiger are right. I should have written Three Wise Men.
Jay, what about the Three Wise Women?
If they had come, they would have … asked directions, arrived on time, helped deliver the baby, cleaned the stable, made a casserole, and brought practical gifts, and there would have been peace on earth.
Look up the poem, Wise Women Also Came, by Jan Richardson.
