“God and the man”
A man visits God and says “God, do you mind if I ask you a few questions?”
God says “No, ask me anything at all.”
So the man says “God, you’ve been around for a very long time, so, for you, how long is a thousand years?”
God replies “For me, a thousand years is only five minutes.”
The man then says “That’s interesting God. And, for you, how much is a million dollars?”
God replies “For me, a million dollars is only five cents.”
The man says “Really? Well then God, could you lend me five cents please?”
God looks at the man, smiles, and says “Of course my son. Just wait five minutes!”
“Genie Joke”
A woman is walking along a beach when she finds an old oil lamp.
She picks it up and rubs it, and out comes a genie.
The genie says to the woman, “Thank you for freeing me from the oil lamp. I will grant you three wishes, but whatever you wish for, your horrible ex-husband will get twice as much. What is your first wish?”
The woman says, “I’d like a million dollars in my bank account, please!”
The genie says, “You now have a million dollars in your bank account, and your ex-husband now has two million dollars. What is your second wish?”
The woman says, “ I’ve always wanted a nice car. I’d like a brand new Rolls-Royce, please!”
The genie says, “ you now have a new Rolls-Royce in your garage at home, and your ex-husband now has two new Rolls-Royces. What is your third wish?
The woman thought for a while and then said, “I’d like you to remove one of my kidneys, please!”
