He Got The Job

A manager at the local Walmart had the task of hiring someone to fill a job opening. After sorting through a stack of resumes she found four candidates who appeared to be qualified.

She decided to call all of them in and ask them only one question. Their answer would determine which one would get the job. The manager asked, “What is the fastest thing you know of?”

The first candidate replied, “A thought. It just pops into your head.”

The second applicant chimed in. “A blink,” she said. “It comes and goes and you don’t know that it ever happened.”

The manager turned to the third person, who said, “The speed of light.”

Impressed with all the answers, the manager looked to the fourth person for his reply.

He said, “Based on what I’ve just heard, it’s obvious to me that the fastest thing known is diarrhea. You see, the other day I wasn’t feeling so good, and I ran for the bathroom, but before I could think, blink and turn on the light, it was too late.”

He got the job.

A Conversation With God

A pastor climbed to the top of a mountain in the Holy Land to talk to God, asking Him, “What does a million years mean to you?”

God replied, “A minute.”

The pastor asked another question: “And what does a million dollars mean to you?”

God replied, “A penny.”

“Can I have a penny?” asked the reverend.

God replied, “In a minute.”
