A man and his wife are discussing what they believe their son will become when he grows up. “I have an idea,” the father declares.
He places a ten-dollar cash, a bottle of whiskey, and a Bible on the coffee table. “If he takes the money, he’ll be a banker.” “If he takes the whiskey, he’ll be a drunk,…”“And if he takes the Bible,
that means he’ll be a preacher.” So the guy and his wife hide just before their son walks in the door and keep an eye on him from their hiding place.
The boy walks over to the coffee table. He takes the ten-dollar bill, looks at it, and then sets it down.He picks up the bottle of whiskey, uncorks it, sniffs it, and sets it down. He picks up the Bible, flips through it, and puts it down.
The boy then takes the money, stuffs it in his pocket, grabs the whiskey, and walks away with the Bible under his arm. The father yells, “Well, how do you like that!” … “He’s going to be a politician!”
