Albert Einstein in heaven
Einstein was having difficulty finding people on his intellectual level to talk to, so one day he decided to stand at the pearly gates and ask everyone who entered what their IQ was. Before very long he was having a lot of success guessing what people did for a living on the basis of their level of intelligence.

For instance, a woman was ushered through the gates and in response to Einstein's question, said she had an IQ of 190. "Why, you must be a physicist," Einstein said. "Indeed I am," said the woman. 

"I'd love to chat with you about the progress being made in nuclear fusion and superconductivity, as well as what's going on in space," said Einstein. "Please wait over there."

He stopped a man who was entering the gates, and the man told him his IQ was 140. "You must be a physician, probably a surgeon," said Einstein. His guess was right.

"Wonderful, " said Einstein, "I want to talk to you about the latest organ transplant techniques and their effects on life expectancy. Can you wait a few moments until we can get together?"

Another man walked in and told Einstein he had an IQ of 95. "Is that so," said Einstein. "So what do you think is going to happen with interest rates?"

A smartly dressed executive saunters into a New York City bank and requests an immediate loan for $5000. He offers to pay the money back plus interest as soon as he returns from a two week vacation. The bank officer says he'll need some sort of security. The executive responds: "No problem. Take my Rolls-Royce as collateral. It's out front." The officer agrees, has an employee drive the car to the bank's underground parking lot, and writes out a check for $5000.

Two weeks later, the executive returns to pay off the loan. The bank officer reports that the accumulated interest is $15.64 and then looks at the executive with a puzzled expression. "I'm curious," he says. "While you were out of town, I checked your references and discovered that you're worth millions. Why would someone like you want to take out a loan for a measly $5000?"

The executive smiles and replies: "Where else can you park a car for two weeks in this city for $15.64?"

Taxes
A little boy  wanted $100.00 very badly and prayed for a week, but nothing happened.

Then he decided to write to God requesting $100.00.  When the Postal Authorities received the letter to God, USA, they forwarded it to the President. The President was so amused that he instructed his secretary to send the little boy a $5.00 bill.

The  President thought this would appear to be a lot of money to a little boy. The little boy was delighted with the $5.00 and sat down to write a thank-you note to God, which read:

Dear God: Thank you very much  for sending the money. However, I noticed that for some reason you sent  it through Washington, D.C. and those a**holes deducted $95.00 in taxes!!!
