Can't think how they missed this one....

A very rich man came to Jesus and asked "Lord, what should I do?". Jesus answered him "Verily I say unto you," (he said that so that people reading about it later would know it was him) "Put one foot in front of another, get down to the bank, take out all your money and give it to the poor."
So the man spent the rest of his life placing one foot precisely in front of another. When people asked why he was walking like this he said "It's what Jesus told me to do, and my secretary wrote it down, so now it's biblical!"
He didn't go to the bank, his fortune continued to grow and he avoided the poor at every opportunity.
But he did what he could, and that's all anyone can ever ask of you, isn't it?
