O/T last joke of the day... Don't Dispair...

[Guest guest]

Sitting by the window of her convent, Sister Barbara opened a letter

from home one evening. Inside the letter was a $100 bill her parents

had sent.

 

Sister Barbara smiled at the gesture. As she read the letter by the

window, she noticed a shabbily dressed stranger leaning against the

lamp post below.

 

Quickly, she wrote, " Don't despair. Sister Barbara, " on a piece of

paper, wrapped the $100 bill in it, got the man's attention and

tossed it out the window to him. The stranger picked it up, and with

a puzzled _expression and a tip of his hat, went off down the street.

 

The next day, Sister Barbara was told that a man was at her door,

insisting on seeing her. She went down, and found the stranger

waiting. Without a word, he handed her a huge wad of $100 bills.

 

" What's this? " she asked. " That's the $8,000 you have coming

Sister, " he replied. " 'Don't Despair' paid 80-to-1. "
