Faith.

The faithful sat down to pray one morning.


“Dear lord, I wish for world peace.”


“That will be £1000,000,000 plus tip.” A voice boomed in his ear.


“God?!” The faithful shouted in surprise.


“You have a outstanding bill with ‘world peace’ in the basket. Cash or card?”


“I-I have to PAY for miracles!?”


“Everyone does.”


“I never thought I would have to PAY for this. How has it gotten to the point that people have to pay for this!? You are GOD!”


“Even the big G has bills. Want to continue?”


The faithful thought about it. “No, I’m okay.” He muttered a quick amen.


“Ehem.”


“What is it?”


“Tip?”


He gave a deep sigh. “Fine.” The faithful reached for his wallet.
