Economy

This guy is walking with his friend. He says to this
friend, "You know, Benny is a walking economy."
His friend replies, "How so?"
"His hair line is in recession, his stomach is a victim
of inflation, and both of these together are putting him
into a deep depression."

Little Leroy
=========
"Mom, I want a bike for my birthday." Little Leroy was a bit of a
troublemaker.
He had gotten into trouble at school and at home.
Leroy's mother asked him if he thought he deserved to get a bike for
Christmas.
Little Leroy, of course, thought he did.
Leroy's mother, being a Christian woman, wanted Leroy to reflect on his
behavior over the last year.
"Go to your room, Leroy, and think about how you have behaved this year.
Then write a letter to God and tell him why you deserve a bike for your
birthday."
Little Leroy stomped up the steps to his room and sat down to write God a
letter.
Letter 1: Dear God, I have been a very good boy this year and I would like a
bike for my birthday.
I want a red one.
Your friend, Leroy
Leroy knew that this wasn't true.
He had not been a very good boy this year, so he tore up the letter and
started over.
Letter 2: Dear God, This is your friend, Leroy. I have been a pretty good
boy this year and I would like a red bike for my birthday. Thank you.
Your friend, Leroy
Leroy knew that this wasn't true, either. So, he tore up the letter and
started again.
Letter 3: Dear God, I have been an "OK"! boy this year.
I still would really like a red bike for my birthday.,Leroy
Leroy knew he could not send this letter to God either.
So, Leroy wrote another letter.
Letter 4: God, I know I haven't been a good boy this year. I am very sorry.
I will be a good boy if you just send me a red bike for my birthday.
Please!
Thank you, Leroy
Leroy knew, even if it was true, this letter was not going to get him a
bike.
By now, Leroy was very upset.
He went downstairs and told his mom that he wanted to go to church.
Leroy's mother thought her plan had worked as Leroy looked very sad.
"Just be home in time for dinner," Leroy's mother told him.
Leroy walked down the street to the church on the corner.
Little Leroy went into the church and up to the altar.
He looked around to see if anyone was there.
Leroy bent down and picked up a statue of the Virgin Mary.
He slipped it under his shirt and ran out of the church,
down the street, into the house, and up to his room.
He shut the door to his room and sat down with a piece of paper and a pen.
Leroy began to write his letter to God.
Letter 5: God, I'VE GOT YOUR MAMA. IF YOU WANT TO SEE HER AGAIN, SEND THE
BIKE.
Signed, YOU KNOW WHO
