3. It makes you smile    (joke of the week)

A man was taking it easy, lying on the grass and looking up at the clouds.

He was identifying shapes, when he decided to talk to God.

     “God”, he said, “how long is a million years?”

God answered, “To me, it’s about a minute”.

      The man asked, “God, how much is a million dollars to you?”

God answered, “It’s a penny”.

     Then the man asked, “God, can I have a penny?”

God answered, “Sure. Just a minute!”
