Sounds Familiar

JOKE OF THE WEEK, 30 Aug 2010

Dietrich Fischer – TRANSCEND Media Service

A little boy wanted $100 very badly, he prayed and prayed for two weeks but nothing happened.  Then he decided to write GOD a letter requesting $100.  When the postal service received the letter to GOD USA, they decided to send it to President Clinton. The President was so impressed, touched, and amused that he instructed his secretary to send the little boy a $5 bill, thinking this would appear to be a lot of money to a little boy.  The little boy was delighted with the $5 and sat down to write a thank you note to GOD, which read: Dear GOD, Thank you very much for sending me the money, however, I noticed that for some reason you had to send it through Washington and, as usual, those jerks deducted $95.

    this is what many people in the world today experience, are they all little boys? Or are we all little girls and boys confronting different problems?
