Congratulations! You've Won A Millions Pounds!
A short lesson on the time value of money
Simon, a new convert to Christianity and a first year student at Glamorgan Business School, was impressed by what the Bible had to say about the power of prayer. He thought he had discovered a means to instant wealth and success.
So Simon says to God, "I'll bet a thousand years is just like a minute to you."
God replies, "Yes, Simon, that's right."
Then Simon says, "God, I'll bet a million pounds is just like a penny to you."
God replies again, "Yes, Simon, you're right again."
Gunning for it, with thoughts of what he was shortly to be doing with his instant million, Simon asks: "Would you give me a million pounds?"
God: "Yes, Simon, it’ll take just a minute."
