A Man And His Wife

A man and his wife are discussing what they think

their son will be when he grows up. “I have an idea,”

says the father. He puts a ten-dollar bill, a bottle of

whiskey, and a Bible on the coffee table. “If he takes the

money, he’ll be a banker. If he takes the whiskey, he’ll

be a wino, and if he takes the Bible, that means he’ll be

sets it down. Then the boy takes the money and stuffs it

into his pocket, grabs the whiskey, and walks off with the

Bible under his arm. “Well, how do you like that!”

exclaims the father… “He’s going to be a politician!
