I don't have a lot of money so if you want to give me one for free, that would be great. In return I will say many prayers for you! Please e-mail me @ ***********@verizon.net From Me to ***********@verizon.net: Hey there, I have an old Blu-Ray player I don't use anymore. Are you interested? Mike _____ From Cathy ******** to Me: Yes I am very much interested! What brand is the player and is it free? _____ From Me to Cathy ********: Cathy, It is a Samsung player, and whether it is free or not depends on you...how many prayers are we talking about here? Mike _____ From Cathy ******** to Me: I will say many prayers for you! _____ From Me to Cathy ********: Yeah, I got that. Specifically, how many prayers? This Blu-Ray player wasn't cheap. I'm thinking, 50 Our Fathers and 50 Hail Marys every day for a year. Does that sound good? Mike _____ From Cathy ******** to Me: Mike, the quantity of prayers is not important - it is the sincerity and power of the prayer that matters. I will be genuinely thankful and show this through my prayers! _____ From Me to Cathy ********: Sorry, but I'm not settling for anything less than 50 Our Fathers and 50 Hail Marys per day. The last guy I gave my plasma TV to gave me that "sincere prayer" crap but I don't it worked at all. My wife's breasts still aren't bigger and my lottery tickets still aren't winning. The only thing that matters is the amount of prayers that you say. It is your choice; 100 prayers a day or no blu-ray player. Mike _____ From Cathy ******** to Me: I think you are misunderstanding the purpose of prayer. Surely you can't expect me to say that many prayers - it would take all day! _____ From Me to Cathy ********: I'm willing to cut you a deal, Cathy. I'll only ask for 50 prayers a day, but in return, you have to come say grace whenever I eat dinner. I'll accept you saying grace for me over the phone if I happen to be eating at a drive-thru fast food place. I'll also throw in my copy of "Drag Me to Hell" on Blu-Ray. Mike _____ From Cathy ******** to Me: Please stop. You are being preposterous. _____ From Me to Cathy ********: Cathy, My apologies. I guess you are right, I am asking for a bit too much. Here's what I'll do. I'll go by what my priest made me do the last time I confessed to stealing a Blu-Ray player. He made me say 20 Hail Marys and 10 Our Fathers, but I think the Our Fathers were because I pistol-whipped a guy while I was stealing it. Since I didn't have to pistol-whip anyone this time, I'll give it to you for only 20 Hail Marys. How does this sound? This is practically face value in prayer. Mike _____ From Cathy ******** to Me: Oh my lord, you have lost your mind! I will get a bluray player elsewhere.
