It Might be Worse
Published Jan 01, 1900
A pastor always used the phrase, "It might be worse," when some calamity would come his way. One day a friend said to him, "I've something to tell you, and you won't be able to use your favorite phrase. I dreamt last night that I died and went to hell."
"It might be worse," said the preacher.
"Man alive, how could it be worse?"
"It might be true."
