Letter to Edgars in South Africa

Dear Sir/Madam

I acknowledge receipt of your letter dated 10 March 2011 in which for the 3rd time, you request that I pay the monies owed to you. I first want you to know that by no means do I dispute my debt and I intend to pay as soon as possible.

However I would like to bring to your attention that you are not my only creditor. I have many more creditors, quite as honourable and important as you, and whom I wish to pay too. That is why, each month, I throw all the names of my creditors into a hat and draw one randomly. The one drawn is paid immediately.

I hope that yours will come out shortly.

Sincerely Yours,

Sipho

PS: I regret to inform you that, given the harsh and threatening tone of your last letter, you will not be taking part in the next three draws.

Praying for Sipho

The preacher says "Anyone with needs to be prayed for, come forward, to the front at the altar,".

Sipho gets in line, and when it's his turn, the preacher asks: " Sipho, what do you want me to pray about for you."
Sipho replies: "Preacher, I need you to pray for my hearing."

The preacher puts one finger in Sipho's ear, and he places the other hand on top of Sipho's head and prays and prays and prays, he prays a blue streak for Sipho.
After a few minutes, the Preacher removes his hands, stands back and asks, " Sipho, how is your hearing now?"

Sipho says, "I don't know, Reverend, my hearing is only next Wednesday ..!"

Judge and Jury

Judge: "How can you plead Not guilty when I've got five people that saw you steal."

Jerome: "Your Honour, I can bring you 1000 people that didn't see me steal."
