TAXING GOD
A little boy needed $100 very badly and his mother told him to pray to God for it. He prayed and prayed for two weeks, but nothing turned up. Then he decided to write God a letter requesting the $100. When the postal authorities received the letter addressed to God, they opened it up and decided to send it to the President. The President was so impressed, touched, and amused that he instructed his secretary to send the little boy a check for $5. He thought this would appear to be a lot of money to the little boy. The little boy was delighted with the $5 and sat down to write a thank you letter to God which read as follows: Dear God: Thank you very much for sending me the money. I noticed that you had to send it through Washington. As usual, those jerks deducted 95 percent. From Dan and Barb Stephens, Fort Collins, Colorado
