Joke: Benefits of Tithing
by From David's Inbox: Benefits of Tithing
Two men crashed in their private plane on a South Pacific Island.
Both survived. One of the men brushed himself off and then proceeded to
run all over the island to see if they had any chance of survival. When he
returned, he rushed up to the other man and screamed, "This island is
deserted. There is no food or water. We are going to die!"
The other man leaned back against the body of the wrecked plane,
folded his
arms and responded: "No we're not. I make over $250,000 a week."
The first man grabbed his friend and shook him, "Listen to what I
am saying, we are on an uninhabited island. There is no food, no
water. We are going to die!"
The other man, unruffled, again responded, "No, I make over
$250,000 a week."
Mystified, the first man, was near hysteria. "For the last time, I'm telling
you we are doomed. There is no one else on this island. There is no food . There is
no water. We are, I repeat, we are going to die a
slow and painful death.."
Unfazed, the second man looked the other in the eyes and said:
"Hear what I am telling you. Do not make me say this again. I make over $250,000
per week and I tithe to my church. MY PASTOR WILL FIND US."

Yeah, the food in pioneer school rocked the house... so much food from willing volunteers. I hear that MTS makes pioneer school look shameful, though... I hope I get to go!
