Musings of a technophile

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 D.C. and those assholes took $95.00 in taxes.

A little boy named Tommy loved to be the center of attention and have other people think he was incredible, so he comes in to school one day and talks to his teacher. “Teacher, yesterday I went fishing and caught a fish that was taller than me!” The teacher obviously knows he’s lying but decides to dismiss him this time, telling him to go sit down in his chair.

The next day, Tommy comes in and says “Teacher, yesterday I went hunting and killed 20 ten point bucks all by myself!”. The teacher tells Tommy to quit lying and to go sit down in his chair.

The next day Tommy comes in and says “Teacher! Yesterday I hit 50 home runs….in a single inning!”. The teacher, by now upset with Tommy’s string of lies, tells Tommy to go to the principles office. She then calls the principle and tells him about Tommy’s behavior. “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of him – I know a little bit about reverse psychology” says the principle.

Tommy comes into the principles office and the principle tells him to sit down. “Tommy”, the principle says, “yesterday I was in the woods and this huge grizzly bear just charge up right in front of me, I mean this thing was as big as a bus! So I ran to get away from him and he just chased after me. He was getting closer and closer no matter how fast I ran. Then, just as I thought that he was going to get me, this little bitty chihuahua came up and attacked the bear and killed him. Then he ate him whole! What do you think about that Tommy, do you believe that?!”

Tommy just beamed and without skipping a beat replied “Of course I do! That was my dog!”
