A little boy wanted $100.00 very badly and his mother told
him to pray to God for it.  He prayed and prayed for weeks,
but nothing turned up.  He decided to write a letter to God
requesting the $100.00.

When the postal authorities received the letter addressed
to "God," they opened it and decided to send it to the
President.  The President was so impressed, touched and
amused that he instructed his secretary to send the little
boy a check for $5.00; he thought this would appear to be
a lot of money to a little boy.  The little boy was
delighted with the $5.00 and sat down to write a thank
you letter to God, which was as follows:

Dear God,

Thank you very much for sending me the money.  I noticed
that you had to send it through Washington, D.C.  As usual,
those jerks deducted $95.00.
