An angel appears at a faculty
meeting and
tells the dean that in return for his unselfish and
exemplary
behavior, the Lord will reward him with his choice of infinite
wealth,
wisdom, or beauty.
Without hesitating, the dean selects infinite
wisdom.
„Done!“ says the angel, and disappears in a cloud of
smoke and a bolt
of lightning.
Now, all heads turn toward the
dean, who sits surrounded by a faint
halo of light. At length, one
of his colleagues whispers, „Say
something.“
The dean sighs
and says, „I should have taken the money.“
