Herschel is down on his luck and flat broke after getting fired from his job.

Herschel is down on his luck and flat broke after getting fired from his job.

He prays to God "please God let me win the lottery tomorrow or my car will be repossessed".

Tomorrow comes, and Herschel doesn't win. He loses his car and prays to God again "please God let me win the lottery tomorrow or I'll lose my house".

Tomorrow comes and Herschel does not win. He loses his house and prays to God "please God let me win the lottery tomorrow or my family is going to leave me".

Tomorrow comes, Herschel does not win, and his family leaves him. Herschel, broken and distraught, screams at God "lord, I have lost my car, my house, and now my family! Why have you foresaken me?!"

God finally decides to pipe up, and a booming voice says from the heavens "Herschel, would you please meet me halfway and buy a lottery ticket?"
