I Thess. 5:18 "Thank God" and "Amen"

"Back in the days of my Mother's youth, before automobiles, there was a traveling salesman who purchased a mule for use in his business. He was so happy that he would start each trip by giving thanks to God for providing the mule. After a while, the animal learned by association that "Thank God">meant to go. When they reached their destination, the salesman would again give a prayer of thanks, ending with "Amen." Again the mule associated "Amen" with stop.
Before long the business was prospering and the salesman was able to upgrade to a horse. Having no need of the mule, the salesman sold him to another businessman in town. He explained the necessary commands and with a "Thank God", the mule and it's new owner were off.
Well, it was such a nice day and the ride so enjoyable, that before long the businessman forgot everything else, until he suddenly realized that he was heading for the edge of a high cliff.
"Whoa!" he said to the mule, but the mule did not whoa.
"Stop!" he shouted, but the mule did not stop.
Frantically pulling on the reigns, the man yelled out a desperate prayer: "O God, please save me! "Amen." The mule stopped, just in the nick of time, right at the edge of the cliff. Wiping his forehead, breathing a big sigh of relief he said,"Thank God."

Thanks for the connection.
