Joke of the Day: Divine Intervention

File under: Higher Power
Saul is working in his store when he hears a booming disembodied voice: "Saul, sell your business."

He's rattled, but he ignores it. It goes on for days. "Saul, sell your business. Take $3 million for it." "Sell, Saul, sell. $3 million. Not a penny more. Not a penny less." "Sell, Saul, sell." After weeks of this, he relents, sells his store. He gets $3 million exactly.

Then the voice says "Saul, go to Las Vegas." Although he's not a gambling man, not knowing what to do, Saul goes to Las Vegas.

At a casino, the voice commands, "Saul, go to the blackjack table and put it all down on one hand." He hesitates but knows he must. He's dealt an 18. The dealer has a six showing. "Saul, take a card." "What? But the dealer has..." "Take a card!" He tells the dealer to hit him. Saul gets an ace. Nineteen. He breathes a huge sigh of relief.

"Saul, take another card." "What?!" "TAKE ANOTHER CARD!" He asks for another card. It's another ace. He has twenty. "Saul, take another card," the voice commands. "I have twenty!" Saul shouts. "TAKE ANOTHER CARD!!" booms the voice. "Hit me," Saul stammers. He gets another ace. Twenty one.

The booming voice says: "Un-fucking-believable!"
