The Lottery

A guy named Joe finds himself in dire straits. His business has gone bust
and he's in serious financial trouble. He's so desperate that he decides
to ask God for help. He begins to pray...  ... God, please help me, I've
lost my business and if I don't get some money, I'm going to lose my house
as well, please let me win the lottery. 

Lottery night comes and somebody else wins it. Joe again prays...... God,
please let me win the lottery! I've lost my business, my house and I'm
going to lose my car as well. 

Lottery night comes and Joe still has no luck. Once again, he prays... ...
My God, why have you forsaken me?? I've lost my business, my house, and my
car. My wife and children are starving. I don't often ask you for help and
I have always been a good servant to you. PLEASE just let me win the
lottery this one time so I can get my life back in order ...  

Suddenly there is a blinding flash of light as the heavens open and Joe is
confronted by the voice of GOD himself: ... JOE, MEET ME HALF WAY ON THIS
ONE ... BUY A F--KING TICKET!
