God Will Provide

My daughter brought her fiancée home to meet her mother and me. I asked the young man, "How do you intend to support my daughter?"

He replied, "Well, sir, I didn't go to college and have had trouble finding a job but I know that God will provide."

I then asked, "Do you have any savings that you can live on until you get on your feet?"

He answered, "Unfortunately, no sir. I haven't a penny to my name, but I'm sure that God will provide."

Finally, I asked, "Can you ask your family for financial assistance to help you through the early days of your marriage?"

"No sir. My family has barely enough money to pay their own bills. But I'm sure that God will provide for me and your daughter."

I left him to go find my wife and report back on our conversation. "So how'd it go?" she asked. I replied, "Well the bad news is he hasn't got a pot to piss in. The good news is he thinks I'm God."
