Making A Wish... by Hendry

There was this Jew who prayed daily to win the lottery. "God," he'd
say, "please let me win the lottery. Please Please let me win the lottery."

About ten years of this passed, and our Jew, still praying every day, was getting a mite exasperated.

Finally he said, "God, why haven't I won the lottery? I've prayed every
day for ten years and I haven't won the lottery."

"Irving," a voice boomed, "at least meet me half way and purchase a
lottery ticket."
