> MAMA'S BIBLE
> Four brothers left home for college, and they became successful doctors and
> lawyers and prospered. Some years later, they chatted after having dinner
> together. They discussed the gifts they were able to give their elderly
> mother who lived far away in another city.
>
> The first said, "I had a big house built for Mama."
>
> The second said, " I had a hundred thousand dollar theater built in the
> house."
>
> The third said, "I had my Mercedes dealer deliver an SL600 to her."
>
> The fourth said, "You know how Mama loved reading the Bible and you know she
> can't read anymore because she can't see very well.
>
> Well, I met this preacher who told me about a parrot that can recite the
> entire Bible. It took twenty preachers 12 years to teach him. I had to pledge
> to contribute $100,000 a year for twenty years to the church, but it was
> worth it. Mama just has to name the chapter and verse and the parrot will
> recite it."
>
> The other brothers were impressed. After the holidays Mom sent out her Thank
> You notes.
>
> She wrote:
> "Milton, the house you built is so huge I live in only one room, but I have
> to clean the whole house. Thanks anyway."
>
> "Marvin, I am too old to travel. I stay home, I have my groceries delivered,
> so never use the Mercedes. The thought was good. Thanks."
>
> "Michael, you gave me an expensive theater with Dolby sound, it could hold 50
> people, but all of my friends are dead, I've lost my hearing and I'm nearly
> blind. I'll never use it. Thank you for the gesture just the same."
>
> "Dearest Melvin, you were the only son to have the good sense to give a
> little thought to your gift. The chicken was delicious. Thank you."

> Luv Ya,
