I've been trying to Google some funny and witty responses to the question "Are you saved"? and have come up with only one:
Q)) Are you saved? A) Damned if I'm not!
I'm kind of thinking along these kind of lines too:
Q) How are you? 1) My lawyer says I don't have to answer that question. 2) Look left and right and say "Why, what have you heard?" 3) I am fantastic and feeling astonishingly glorious!
Or one I came up with :
Q) Are you saved? A) Yep. Clicked on the icon
You got one?

I saw a sign outside a Church saying,
"Jesus saves, Romans 5:1"
I thought "For people who believe in God, they don't have much faith in his son with odds like that."

I once answered the question "After you die, do you think you will go to Heaven or to Hell?" with "Undoubtedly the latter. But at least the beer will be better."
(I was rather proud of this one. I usually suck at finding good ad hoc answers to these questions, only thinking of what I should have said afterwards ) [ 19. October 2015, 08:22: Message edited by: LeRoc ]

Q. Have you been converted?
A. What, to North Sea gas?
For the uninitiated (or those who are just plain Too Young), when they discovered gas in the North Sea in the 60s/early 70s, people had to have their systems "converted" to run on it.

When asked if he was saved, St Adrian of Plass apparently answered with "I am a member of the MCC" "I fail to see how that will help you on the Last Day" replied the questioner "Madam, membership of the Marylebone Cricket Club always guarantees one entrance the the Lords enclosure"
Feel free to groan.
