A man was praying to God. He said, “God!?”

God responded, “Yes?”

And the guy said, “Can I ask a question?”

“Go right ahead,” God said.

“God, what is a million years to you?”

God said, “A million years to me is only a second.”

“Hmmm,” the man wondered. Then he asked, “God, what is a million dollars worth to you?”

God said, “A million dollars to me is as a penny.”

So the man said, “God, can I have a penny?”

And God cheerfully said, “Sure!! Just a second.”
