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<\/p>\n
An 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.<\/p>\n
She 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<\/p>\n
and 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","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
