Show me the man you honor, and I will know what kind of man you are.

No one won in last night’s Mega Million drawing. And I’m afraid that includes us. We won Zero Dollars. It’s rare that I tell you that, but it happens.

The next drawing is on Tuesday August 9^th, 2005 and its worth $41 Million. The Cash Option is now worth $24 Million. There are only 25 of us playing, so that means each of us would get before any attorney fees, taxes or tithes:

$960,000.00

This game is scheduled to end on Tuesday August 30^th, 2005.

Mega Million Lottery Pool #18 (will buy tickets on 08/31/2005)

A Lawyer and the Pope Die and Go to Heaven…

A lawyer died. At the same moment, the Pope also died. They arrived at the gates of heaven at the same moment. They spend the day in orientation, and as they're getting their heavenly vestments, the Pope gets a plain white toga and wings, like everyone else, and the lawyer gets much finer apparel, made of gold thread, and Gucci shoes.

Then, they get to see where they're going to live. The Pope gets what everyone else gets, a replica of a Holiday Inn room, and the lawyer gets an 18-room mansion with servants and a swimming pool.

At dinnertime, the Pope receives the standard meal, a kosher TV dinner, but the lawyer receives a five-course meal including caviar, prime rib and chocolate truffles.

By this time, the lawyer is beginning to suspect that an error has been made, so he asks one of the angels in charge, "Has there been some kind of mistake? This guy was the Pope, and he gets what everyone else gets, and I'm just a lawyer and I'm getting the finest of everything?"

The angel replied, "No mistake, sir. We've had lots of Popes here, but you're the first lawyer we've ever had."
