The teacher said, \u201cI\u2019ll give 2 dollars to the child who can tell me who was the most famous man who ever lived.\u201d
\nAn Irish boy put his hand up and said, \u201cIt was St. Patrick.\u201d The teacher said, \u201cSorry Sean, that\u2019s not correct.\u201d<\/p>\n
Then a French boy put his hand up and said, \u201cIt was Napoleon.\u201d The teacher replied, \u201cI\u2019m sorry, Pierre, that\u2019s not right either.\u201d<\/p>\n
Finally, a Jewish boy raised his hand and said, \u201cIt was Jesus Christ.\u201d The teacher said, \u201cThat\u2019s absolutely right, Maurice, come up here and I\u2019ll give you 2 dollars.\u201d<\/p>\n
As the teacher was giving Maurice his money, she said, \u201cYou know Maurice, you being Jewish, I was very surprised you said Jesus Christ.\u201d<\/p>\n
Maurice replied, \u201cYeah. In my heart I knew it was Moses, but business is business.\u201d<\/p>\n
The woman was very rich and the man was poor but honest.
\nShe liked him, but that was all, and he knew it.<\/p>\n
One night he had been a little more tender than usual. \u201cYou are very rich,\u201d he ventured.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes,\u201d she replied frankly, I\u2019m worth 1.25 million dollars.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I\u2019m poor,\u201d he replied. \u201cWill you marry me?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought you would say no.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThen why did you ask me?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, just to see how a man feels when he loses 1.25 million dollars.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stanley is looking for a new desk for his office
\nand he spots one that looks perfect in an antique shop window.<\/p>\n
He goes inside and asks the shopkeeper how much it is.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat desk is going for $5000,\u201d says the shopkeeper.<\/p>\n
\u201c$5000 for an old desk? That\u2019s outrageous!\u201d exclaims Stanley.<\/p>\n
\u201cAh,\u201d says the shopkeeper, \u201cbut this is a magic desk.\u201d He turns to the desk and asks, \u201cDesk, how much money do I have in my pocket?\u201d<\/p>\n
The desk taps one of its legs on the floor four times. The shopkeeper turns out his pocket and, sure enough, there are four dollar coins there.<\/p>\n
\u201cWow, that\u2019s pretty cool,\u201d says Stan. \u201cAlright, desk, how much money does my wife have in her bank account?\u201d<\/p>\n
At this, the desk goes wild, manically banging all four of its legs up and down repeatedly for over five minutes non-stop.<\/p>\n
\u201cDarn, where did she get all THAT from?\u201d wonders Stanley.<\/p>\n
The desk\u2019s legs slide apart and its drawers drop down.<\/p>\n
