Friday humor: writing God for money

A little boy wanted $100 for a new bike. He prayed and prayed, but nothing happened. Finally, he wrote a letter to God asking for the money, addressed it, "God /USA", stamped it and put it in the mailbox.

A postal worker saw it, said "Who is more like God than the President?" and forwarded it there. A worker in the White House mail room opened the letter and thought it was cute, so he sent a $5 bill to the kid's return address.

The boy was thrilled to receive the money, so he sat down immediately and wrote a thank you letter to God.

"Dear God: Thank you very much for sending the money. However, I noticed that for some reason you sent it through Washington, DC., and those jerks deducted $95.00 in taxes."
