Funny jokes

A poor man asked God for months continually, “Give me fifty dollars. I don’t want much, just fifty dollars.”

First he prayed, but then he thought, “Millions of people are praying, and there is one God and there are millions of prayers. Whether my poor prayer ever reaches to him… And there must be around him so much noise – prayers from all the churches, all the mosques, all the synagogues, all the temples – who is going to take care of me? It is better that I write a letter.”

He wrote a letter saying, “This is to remind you that for months I have been praying, but the answer has not come. It seems my prayer has not reached you. I can understand, because of the noise around you of so many prayers. And great people are praying – the pope and the archbishop and the shankaracharya – so who is going to take care of my small prayer? And I am not asking much – no paradise, no heaven, nothing, just fi fty dollars. Finally I decided to write the letter.” And he wrote in big letters, “FIFTY DOLLARS! Remember, it is urgent.”

But then he was very much disturbed, because he didn’t know the address, whom to address it to.

He thought, “The best way is to address it to: God, c/o The Postmaster General. If the postmaster general cannot find his address, who else can?” The letter reached the postmaster general. He looked, he laughed, and then he felt sad also. He thought, “The man must be in desperate need – nobody writes letters to God. And he is not asking much.”

So he said to all his friends, “Please look at this poor man’s letter. You all contribute, and we will send those fi fty dollars to him. At least for once let a prayer be answered.” They collected the money, but they collected only forty-five dollars. The postmaster general said, “No harm, at least we should send this much.”

When forty-five dollars reached the man he counted the dollars, and he Looked above and shouted, “God, remember one thing. Next time you send any money to me, never send it through the post off i ce!Those cunning fellows have taken out their commission.I have received only forty-five dollars!”
