Friday's joke

A young woman brings home her fiancé to meet her parents. After dinner, her mother tells her father to find out about the young man. The father invites the fiancé to his study for a drink.
"So what are your plans?" the father asks the young man.
"I am a Torah scholar," he replies.
"A Torah scholar. Hmm." the father says. "Admirable, but what how will you provide a home for my daughter to live in, as she's accustomed to?"
"I will study," the young man replies, "and God will provide for us."
"And how will you buy her a beautiful engagement ring, such as she deserves?" asks the father.
"I will concentrate on my studies," the young man replies, "and God will provide for us."
"And children?" asks the father. "How will you support children?"
"Don't worry, sir, God will provide," replies the fiancé.
The conversation proceeds like this, and each time the father asks a question, the young idealist insists that God will provide.
Later, the mother asks, "How did it go, honey?"
The father answers, "He has no job and no plans, but the good news is, he thinks I'm God."

P.S. "There are no secrets to success: don't waste time looking for them. Success is the result of perfection, hard work, learning from failure, loyalty to those for whom you work, and persistence." Colin Powell.

Thursday I was off sick with migraine. Chantal and I shared good conversion this am. I missed you guys too. Hopefully we catch up next week.

BTW: Why do I see a "delete" next to the view in post title?

Hope you're feeling better.

Where do you see "delete"? On the web view? http://www.go405.blogspot.com/ or on your edit page? On your edit page, you have a list of all your posts, along with View and Delete options. If you thought better of your post, you might want to edit or delete it, for example.

I am aiming for the 3:13 today! How self-indulgent!
