"A cheerful heart is good medicine." Proverbs 17:22 NLT
So I was with a few new friends from India last night and one of the guys was just a fountain of humor. I am going to have to email him for some of the different jokes he told me. Here is one humorous story he mentioned, though I may not remember all the details exactly.
The story goes that when a boy gets to walking age or a bit older, the parents set three objects across the room. A bottle of wine, some cash and a holy book. The idea is this. The boy is to walk over and pick up an item and that determines their future.
If the boy goes over and picks up a bottle of wine, that means that he will have a life of pleasure. If he goes over and picks up the cash, then he will be a great business man. If he picks up the holy book, then he will be a priest or holy man.
So this one boy walked across the room and he put a wine bottle under his left arm, the holy book under his right and carried the cash in his hands. So I said, "What does that make him?" He replied, "A politician."
