    Letter to God.

    The re was a man who worked for the Post Office...whose job it was to process
    all the mail that had illegible addresses. One day, a letter came addressed in a
    shaky handwriting to God. He thought he should open it to see what it was about.
    The letter read,

    Dear God,

    I am an 83 year old widow, living on a very small pension. Yesterday someone
    stole my purse. It had £100 in it, which was all the money I had until my next
    pension check. Next Sunday is Christmas, and I had invited two of my friends
    over for dinner. Without that money, I have nothing to buy food with. I have no
    family to turn to, and you are my only hope. Can you please help me?

    Sincerely, Edna

    The postal worker was touched. He showed the letter to all the other workers.
    Each one dug into his or her wallet and came up with a few pounds.

    By the time he made the rounds, he had collected £96, which they put into an
    envelope and sent to the woman. The rest of the day, all the workers felt a warm
    glow thinking of Edna and the dinner she would be able to share with her
    friends. Christmas came and went.

    A few days later, another letter came from the old lady to God. All the workers
    gathered around while the letter was opened, It read.

    Dear God,

    How can I ever thank you enough for what you did for me? Because of your gift of
    love, I was able to fix a glorious dinner for my friends. We had a very nice day
    and I told my friends of your wonderful gift.

    By the way, there was £4 missing. I think it must have been those thieving
    b****ds at the Post Office.

    But wait, in fact the money came from the workers at the post office? Irony indeed.

    This comment was funnier than the "joke" itself. :p
