IJMC - The Rich Never Think

You know, I had something witty and wonderful and remarkably crazy to say 
tonight. Unfortunately, I've forgotten completely what it was. So 
instead, you get my normal rambling drivel. Oh well, it's Wednesday. Hey, 
I remember part of it...I guess March won't be computer-post month, 
although I'm not sure which was shorter, the time before I sent a 
non-computer related post or tomorrow. Sometimes, these things just 
confuse me. Sometimes, things that confuse me bewilder you. <shrug> -dave




There once was a rich man who was near death. He was
very grieved because he had worked so hard for his
money and he wanted to be able to take it with him to
heaven. So he began to pray that he might be able to
take some of his wealth with him.

An angel hears his plea and appears to him. "Sorry, but
you can't take your wealth with you." The man implores the
angel to speak to God to see if He might bend the rules.

The man continues to pray that his wealth could follow
him. The angel reappears and informs the man that God had
decided to allow him to take one suitcase with him.  
Overjoyed, the man gathers his largest suitcase and fills
it with pure gold bars and places it beside his bed.

Soon afterward the man dies and shows up at the Gates
of Heaven to greet St. Peter. Peter, seeing the suitcase,
says, "Hold on, you can't bring that in here!" But, the man
explains to Peter that he has permission and asks him to
verify his story with the Lord.

Sure enough, Peter checks and comes back saying, "You're
right. You are allowed one carry-on bag, but I'm supposed to
check it's contents before letting it through."

Peter opens the suitcase to inspect the worldly items that
the man found too precious to leave behind and exclaims, "You
brought pavement?!!!"
