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.

I just had this joke pop up on my newsreader today. Thanks Mike, I'll have
to e-mail it to some friends.
