Fate Of Cake

An overweight man decided it was time to shed some excess pounds. He
took his new diet seriously, recruiting his co-workers for their
support and even changing his driving route to avoid his favorite
bakery.

One morning, however, he arrived at work carrying a gigantic
coffeecake. His fellow workers scolded him, but his smile remained
cherubic.

"This is a very special coffeecake," he explained. "I ally
drove by the bakery this morning and there in the window were a host
of goodies. I felt this was no , so I prayed, 'Lord, if you
want me to have one of those delicious coffeecakes, show me a sign--
let there be a parking place directly in front of the bakery,'

"Sure enough," he continued, "the eighth time around the block,
there it was!"
