Former Champ Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 Good joke from a pal in England. There was this bloke who worked for the Royal Mail whose job it was to process all the mail that had illegible addresses. One day a letter came to his desk, addressed in shaky handwriting to "Santa". He thought, "Oh boy, better open this one and see what it's all about." So he opened it and read: "Dear Santa, I am an 83 year old widow living on a very small pension. Yesterday someone stole my purse. It had 100 pounds in it which was all the money I had until my next pension check. Next week is Christmas and I had invited two of my friends over for dinner. Without that money, I have nothing to buy food with. I have no family to turn to, and you are my only hope. Can you please help me?" The postie was touched, and went around showing the letter to all the others. Each of them dug into his wallet and came up with a few pounds. By the time he made the rounds, he had collected 96 pounds, which they put into an envelope and sent over to her. The rest of the day, all the workers felt a warm glow thinking of the nice thing they had done. Christmas came and went, and a few days later came another letter to Santa from the old lady. All the workers gathered around while the letter was opened. It read: "Dear Santa, How can I ever thank you enough for what you did for me? Because of your generosity, I was able to fix a lovely dinner for my friends. We had a very nice day, and I told my friends of your wonderful gift - we haven't gotten over it. By the way, there was 4 pounds missing. I think it must have been those thieving c*nts at the Post Office." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
