A man walked into a Louisiana Circle-K, put a $20 bill on the counter
   and asked for change. When the clerk opened the cash drawer, the man
   pulled a gun and asked for all the cash in the register, which the
   clerk promptly provided. The man took the cash from the clerk and
   fled, leaving the $20 bill on the counter. The total amount of cash he
   got from the drawer? Fifteen dollars. [If someone points a gun at you
   and gives you money, was a crime committed?]


  

British Columbia, Canada: Police officers on patrol about 1:00 am
spotted 4 men breaking into a vehicle. They gave chase on foot,
catching and arresting two of the men. The other two escaped. A
couple of hours later, two men showed up at the main desk of the
police station, asking when their buddies were going to be released.
They were carrying (and wearing) items which had been stolen from the car. 

A mother in Pittsburgh tells of having dinner with her little son and
daughter.  It had been a long, trying day at home, and her husband was
still at the office.  Both children were fussy and didn't want to eat,
and her patience had reached it's limit.  She looked up and sighed, "Oh,
God, help me with these children."  Immediately her four-year-old
daughter bowed her head and was silent.  The mother was delighted,
thinking the girl was asking God to help her be good.  But then the girl
looked up at her and said, "I just asked Him not to help you."

from "Faith, Hope and Hilarity:  The Child's Eye View
of Religion" by Dick Van Dyke
