New Joke!

Little Leroy came into the kitchen where his mother was making dinner.
His birthday was coming up and he thought this was a good time to tell his
Mother what he wanted.

"Mom, I want a bike for my birthday." Little Leroy was a bit of a
troublemaker He had gotten into trouble at school and at home.

Leroy's mother asked him if he thought he deserved to get a bike for
his birthday. "Of course", he said.

Leroy's mother, being a Christian woman, wanted him to reflect on his
behavior over the last year. "Go to your room , Leroy, and think about
how you have behaved this year. Then write a letter to God and tell him
why you deserve a bike for your birthday."

Little Leroy stomped up the steps to his room and sat down to write
God a letter.

Letter 1
Dear God, I have been a very good boy this year and I would like a
bike
for my birthday. I want a red one.
Your friend, Leroy.

Leroy knew that it was not true. He had not been a good boy this year,
so
he tore it up and started over.

Letter 2
Dear God, I have been an OK boy this year. I still would like a bike
for
my birthday. Leroy. Leroy knew he could not send this letter to God
either. So, Leroy wrote a third letter.

Letter 3
Dear God, I know I haven't been a good boy this year. I am very sorry.
I
will be a good boy if you just send me a bike for my birthday. Please!
Thank you, Leroy.

Leroy knew that it was not true. By now he was very upset. He went
downstairs and told his mother that he needed to go to
church.

She thought her plan had worked.

" Just be home for dinner," she told him. Leroy walked down the
street
to
the church on the corner.

He went to the altar. Leroy looked around to see if anyone was looking
as
he bent down and picked up a statue of the Virgin Mary.

He slipped it up under his shirt and ran out the church going back
home. He ran to his room and shut the door. Leroy began to write his
letter to God.

Letter 4
Dear God,

I got your mama.

If you want to see her again, send the bike.

Signed, You know who.
