John and the Last Dime
John was down on his luck in
Las Vegas. He had gambled away all his money and
had to borrow a dime from another gambler just
to use the men's room. He walked into the men's
room and to his surprise, the stall was open.
Feeling better about his luck, he used his last
dime in a slot machine and hit the jackpot.
Wealthy beyond his wildest dreams,
John went on the lecture circuit, where he told
his incredible story. He told his audiences that
he was eternally grateful to his benefactor, and
if he ever found the man he would share his fortune
with him. After months of lectures, a man in the
audience jumped up and said, "I'm that man.
I was the one who gave you the dime."
John replied, "You're
not the one I'm looking for. I'm looking for the
guy who left the bathroom stall open!"
