A joke for you

I was recently reminded of a cute old joke that I had heard. While it doesn't fit 100% in this situation, its how I feel about finances and expenses as a whole. It goes:

There was a priest, an imam and a rabbi walking along a path together. After a while they came across a small chest filled with gold coins. Baffled and with no one in sight they thought what they would do with all this money.

The priest said "this is a gift from God and as such we should give the Lord an offering. I suggest we draw a big circle, throw the money as high in the air as possible and when it falls, whatever falls inside the circle we leave and everything on the outside we keep."

The imam then suggested "well clearly this is an blessing and we should make an offering, but I believe we should draw a big circle, throw the money as far into the air as possible and when it falls, whatever falls outside the circle we leave and everything on the inside, we keep."

They thought about this when the rabbi then spoke "undoubtebly this is God's grace and we should as servants and stewards give thanks and tithe. Therefore, I propose we draw a big circle, take the money and throw it as high in the air as we can, and whatever does not fall to the ground, the Lord keeps."

Happy Friday.

Sincerly,

Coco
