A woman has just returned to her home from an evening church service when she is startled by a burglar. She catches the man in the act and yells: “Stop! Acts 2:38!”
("Repent and be baptised, in the name of Jesus Christ, so that your sins may be forgiven.")
The thief stops in his tracks. The woman calmly calls the police and explains what she has done. As the officer cuffs the man, he asks: "Why did you just stand there? All the old lady did was yell a scripture to you."
"Scripture?!" replies the burglar. "She said she had an axe and two .38s!"
