From the January, 2002, newsletter of the North Texas Skeptics:
http://www.ntskeptics.org/2002/2002january/january2002.htm#stupid quote:
Melvin was exploring along the cliff side when he got too close and slipped over the edge. Luckily, a few feet from the top he snagged a small vine that was growing out of the rock there, and he managed to hang on, saving himself from a 100-foot drop.
Unable to climb back up, Melvin began to shout for help. Presently he heard a voice from the top of the cliff inquiring about his predicament. "Who are you?" shouted Melvin. Can you help me?
"I am God came back the voice, and I can help you. But you must believe in me, and you must do exactly as I say."
"Oh, yes. I do believe in you," shouted Melvin "and I will do whatever you say."
"OK" came back the voice. "You must first let go of the vine."
Melvin was silent for a moment. Then he shouted back "Is there anybody else up there who can help me?"
John Blanton uses this old joke to introduce a very serious story about some guys who were, in fact, willing to let go of the vine, the 9-11 terrorists.
Abducting UFOs and conspiring against conspiracy theorists since 1980.

Guess no one caught them.
