Just an old Bible

Jimmy had decided to take a year off before starting college and to hitchhike around Europe with his friend Billy. After several weeks he called his dad to get him to send them more money .


"It's been more expensive than I thought over here Dad", Jimmy told his dad. "We got to Germany and we were dead broke."

"Well, do you have any money to eat until I can get more money to you?" Dad asks.

"Yeah", jimmy replies. "We made a little money cleaning all the junk out of an old house for a guy. Man there were a lot of old papers and books and stuff in there. The guy said we could have anything of value we found, but it was all just junk."

"Oh?" Dad says. "You didn't find anything you could sell for a few Euros ?"

"Well, I almost kept this old bible that was in pretty good shape. It was really old. Published by some Gutenberg guy." Jimmy says .

"Son, that bible was worth hundreds of millions of dollars if it was in good shape!" Dad exclaims.

"Wow! Well, this one probably wasn't worth that much" , Jimmy replies. "Some guy named Martin Luther had scribbled all over the margins."
