The man came and sat near a nun hoping to get some companionship during the long ride. However, the nun was paying no attention to him. She just kept on reading the Bible without even looking up to him or saying a word. As time went by slowly and silently, it made the man more and more anxious to start a conversation. But he did not know how or where to start. The man then put his hand on the nun's lap.

The nun blushed with a little bit of anger. She turn around and said, "Dear sir, do you believe in God?"

The man replied, "Yes, I do."

"Have you read the Bible? You know it is wrong to put your hand on my lap. Perhaps you should go home and read line 23 on page 157." she asked.

The man withdrew his hand and sat quietly till the train reached the east coast. Next day, people found out that he shot himself in his room while the Bible lay open on page 157. The line 23 read: "Heaven is a little bit higher."
