At one time or another we have probably all said what we will do when our "ship comes in." Today it happened. Our ship came in. Leroy opened his pay envelope and found a second unexpected check inside. It was more than enough to buy a brand new car. (A conservative Mennonite car, that is, not a Rolls-Royce.)
Being a firm believer in the old saying, "when it's too good to be true it probably isn't," Leroy immediately hiked up to the boss's office with the check and asked what it was all about. He was so stunned by the amount he didn't take the time to look whose name was on the check. The boss sheepishly said he had been half asleep when he did payroll last night. The check belonged to someone else and was not supposed to be in Leroy's envelope.
Our ship came in but the dock sank.
