A Story with a moral
There
once was a rich man who was near death. He was very grieved because he had
worked so hard for his money and he wanted to be able to take it with him to
heaven. So he began to pray that he might be able to take some of his wealth
with him. An angel heard his plea and appeared to him. "Sorry, but you can't
take your wealth with you." The man begged the angel to speak to God to see
if He might bend the rules. The man continued to pray that his wealth could
follow him. The angel reappeared and informed the man that God had decided
to allow him to take one suitcase with him. Overjoyed, the man gathered his
largest suitcase and filled it with pure gold bars and placed it beside his
bed. Soon afterward he died and showed up at the Gates of Heaven to greet
St. Peter. St. Peter, seeing the suitcase, said, "Hold on, you can't bring
that in here!" The man explained to St. Peter that he had permission and
asked him to verify his story with the Lord. Sure enough, St. Peter checked,
came back and said, "You're right. You are allowed one carry on bag, but I'm
supposed to check its contents before letting it through." St. Peter opened
the suitcase to inspect the worldly items that the man found too precious to
leave behind, and exclaimed, "You brought pavement?"
A policeman stops a lady and asks for her license. He says, "Lady, it says
here that you should be wearing glasses." The woman answered, "Well, I have
contacts." The policeman replied, "I don't care who you know! You're getting
a ticket!"
Bridget passed away and Seamus called 999. The 999 operator told Seamus that
she would send someone out right away. "Where do you live?" asked the
operator. Seamus replied, "At the end of Eucalyptus Drive." The operator
asked, "Can you spell that for me?" There was a long pause and finally
Seamus said, "How 'bout if I drag her over to Oak Street and you pick her up
there?"
