Subject: $100 DOLLARS
A little boy wanted $100.00 very badly and prayed for weeks, but
nothing
happened.
Then he decided to write God a letter requesting the $100.00.
When the postal authorities received the letter to God, USA, they
decided to
send it to the President.
The president was so amused that he instructed his secretary to send
the
little boy a $5.00 bill. The president thought this would appear to
be a lot
of money to a little boy.
The little boy was delighted with the $5.00 bill and sat down to
write a
thank-you note to God, which read:
Dear God: Thank you very much for sending the money.
However, I noticed that for some reason you sent it through
Washington, DC, and those assholes deducted $95.00 in taxes.

Subject: Kermit Jagger the Frog
A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from
her name
plate that her name is Patricia Whack. So, he says, "Mrs. Whack,
I'd like to
get a loan to buy a boat and go on a long vacation." Patti looks
at the frog
in disbelief and asks how much he wants to borrow.
The frog says "$30,000."
The teller asks his name and the frog says that his name is Kermit
Jagger,
his dad is Mick Jagger, and that it is OK, he knows the bank manager.
Patti explains that $30,000 is a substantial amount of money and that
he
will need to secure some collateral against the loan. She asks if he
has
anything he can use as collateral.
The frog says, "Sure. I have this," and produces a tiny
pink porcelain
elephant, about half an inch tall, bright pink and perfectly formed.
Very confused, Patti explains that she'll have to consult with the
manager
and disappears into a back office.
She finds the manager and says: "There is a frog called Kermit
Jagger out
there who claims to know you and wants to borrow $30,000. And he
wants to
use this as collateral." She holds up the tiny pink elephant.
"I mean, what the heck is this?"
(are you ready?)
(are you sure?)
(you're gonna hate me!)
The bank manager looks back at her and says
"It's a knick knack, Patti Whack
Give the frog a loan. His old man's a rolling stone."
COME ON . . . SMILE. IT'LL MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD.
