Two old friends ran into each other after many years. One said, “How has everything been going with you?”

The other said, “Well, one day I opened the Bible at random, and dropped my finger on a word and it was “oil”. So, I invested in oil, and boy, did the oil wells gush. Then another day I dropped my finger on another word and it was “gold”. So, I invested in gold and those mines really produced. Now, I’m as rich as Bill Gates.”

The friend was so impressed that he rushed home, grabbed a Bible, closed his eyes, flipped it open and dropped his finger on a page. He opened his eyes and his finger rested on the words, “Chapter Eleven.”
