Joke: New Pair Of Shoes

A blond woman named Babbette finds herself in dire¹ trouble.
Her business has gone bust² and she's in serious financial trouble.
She's so desperate that she decides to ask God for help. She
begins to pray... "God, please help me. I've lost my business and
if I don't get some money, I'm going to lose my house as well.
Please let me win the lotto."

Lotto night comes and somebody else wins it. Babbette again prays...
"God, please let me win the lotto! I've lost my business, my house
and I'm going to lose my car as well." Lotto night comes and
Babbette still has no luck.

Once again, she prays..."My God, why have you forsaken³ me?? I've
lost my business, my house, and my car. My children are starving.
I don't often ask you for help and I have always been a good
servant to you. PLEASE just let me win the lotto this one time
so I can get my life back in order."

Suddenly there is a blinding flash of light as the heavens open
and Babbette is confronted by the voice of God Himself: "Babbette,
meet Me halfway⁴ on this.

Buy a ticket!"
