THE MONEY, THE BIBLE OR THE WHISKEY

An older couple had a son, who was still living with his parents.

The parents were a little worried, as the son was still unable to

decide about his future career, so they decided to do a small

test.

They took a ten-dollar bill, a bible, and a bottle of whiskey,

and put them on the front hall table... then they hid, pretending

they were not at home.

The father's plan was: "If our son takes the money, he will

be a businessman, if he takes the bible, he will be a priest -

but if he takes the bottle of whiskey, I'm afraid our son will

be a drunkard."

So the parents hid in the nearby closet and waited nervously.

Peeping through the keyhole they saw their son arrive. The son

saw the note they had left.

Then, he took the 10-dollar bill, looked at it against the

light, and slid it in his pocket.

After that, he took the bible, flicked through it, and took it.

Finally he grabbed the bottle, opened it, and took an appreciative

whiff to be assured of the quality ... then he left for his room,

carrying all three items.

The father slapped his forehead, and said: "Darn, it's even worse

than I could ever have imagined... "

"Our son is going to be a politician!"
