No Good Deed...
An old bloke in our little Australian town fell on hard times and got behind in his rent. Desperate, he wrote a letter to God.
"Dear God, I've always been a good Christian and paid my own way, but I'm a little short this month. Could you lend me $100?" He addressed it simply "God" and posted it.
When the letter arrived in the mail center, the employees opened it, felt sorry for the old fellow and took up a collection. At day's end, they put $90 in an envelope and mailed it back.
A week later, another letter addressed to God showed up. They opened it and found this note: "Thank you, God. I knew you wouldn't let me down. I only got $90, but I reckon those blokes at the Post Office pinched the other 10 bucks."
