Down on his luck... [modified]
-
So this man we'll call Tom is feeling down on his luck and things aren't going well. He gets down on his knees and prays. "Dear Lord. I'm not doing too well with my wife and work. Money is tight. Please help me win the lottery." The drawing comes and he doesn't win. The next week, Tom gets on his knees again. "Dear Lord. My wife is about to leave me. I lost my job. The bank is asking for their payment on the mortgage. Please help me win the lottery." The drawing comes and he doesn't win. The next week, Tom gets on his knees again. "Dear Lord. My wife has left me. The bank foreclosed. I'm on the street. Please help me win the lottery!" He then hears a voice above him say, "TOM! Meet me half way here! BUY A TICKET!!" [EDIT]My bad...should have used the joke icon...[/EDIT]
I have nothing more to say.

I got more laughs from your post than from the original. :)

Either the joke or I am missing something here.

Either the joke or I am missing something here.
You're missing it... It's an old joke... "Buy a ticket!" As in, the guy has been praying to win the lottery, but hasn't even been buying lotto tickets... Not very funny when it has to be explained, though ;P
Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

The joke isn't particularly funny, so you haven't missed much. Any joke you have to explain becomes really unfunny, so I'm not going to try. :-D

Author of the Guardians Saga (Sci-Fi/Fantasy novels)Ah! Thank you Ian for that explanation. I got confused by the phrase "meet me halfway".

... and if you think a little about it, it's a kind of philosophy - you have to GIVE something to GET something ...

"What goes around, comes around" I get the philosophy, but the joke just isn't very good. :-D Not cr@p enough to univote, but it isn't good enough to share unless everyone concerned is p@ssed off their skulls...

Trust me on this - it wouldn't have helped.

Hm - I've been here now for almost 2 years, but until recent only as a passive reader. Said so, excuse me, but then I don't understand the voting system ... If one posts a joke she don't do that for trolling, and even it isn't a good joke, it should IMHO *never* be downvoted, until it is rassism or so (and even in this range are a lot of good jokes that just seem rassism in the first sight)
