GoLDBERG was very pious. He went to the synagogue every Sabbath. And every Sabbath he prayed to God to let him win first prize in the national lottery. Alas! he prayed in vain. Finally he waxed wrath with the Lord:' Am I asking too much? Here I am - a God-fearing, devout Jew.

A blonde goes to the local restaurant, buys a small drink for herself, and sits down to drink it. She notices a peel-off prize sticker on the side of her cup while she is drinking. After pulling off the tab, she begins screaming, "I won a motor home! I won a motor home!" The waitress runs over and argues, "That's impossible. The biggest prize given away was a stero system!" The blonde replies, "No. I won a motor home!"
