Two old friends meet one day after many years. One had attended college and was very successful. The other had not gone to college and never had much ambition.

The successful one asks, "How has everything been going with you?"

"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 Rockefeller."

The successful friend is so impressed that he rushes to his hotel, grabs a Gideon Bible, flips it open, closes his eyes and drops his finger on a page. Then he opens his eyes to see his finger resting on the words "Chapter 11."
