A man had been in business for many years and his business
was going down the drain and was full of debt. He was seriously
contemplating suicide and he didn�t know what to do.
So he went to his Priest to seek advice. He told the Priest
about all of his problems in business and asked the Priest
what he should do.
The Priest said �Take a beach chair and a bible and put them
in your car and drive down to the edge of the ocean. Go to
the water�s edge. Take the beach chair out of the car, sit
on it and take the Bible out and open it up. The wind will
rifle the pages for a while and eventually the Bible will
stay open at a particular page. Read the Bible and it will
tell you what to do.�
The man did as he is told. He placed a beach chair and a Bible
in his car and drove down to the beach. He sat on the chair
at the water�s edge and opened the Bible. The wind rifled the
pages of the Bible and then stopped at a particular page. He
looked down at the Bible and knew immediately what he had to do.
Three months later the man and his family came back to see the
Priest. The man was wearing a $1,000 Italian suit, his wife was
all decked out with a full-length mink coat and the child was
dressed in beautiful silk. The man handed the Priest a thick
envelope full of money and told him that he wants to donate
this money to the church in order to thank the Priest for
his wonderful advice. The Priest was delighted. He recognizes the
man and asked him what advice in the bible brought this good
fortune to him.
The man replies: �Chapter 11.�
P.S. For those unfamiliar with American Law, Chapter 11 refers
to declaring bankruptcy and removing all of your debt. In modern
years, some people have developed the practice as a strategic
financial decision.
