A young man was talking to God. “How long is a million years to You?” he asked.

“A million years to Me is like a single second to you,” God replied.

“How much is a million dollars to You?” the young man asked.

“A million dollars to Me is like a penny to you,” God replied.

“In that case,” the young man ventured, “Could I have one of Your pennies?”

“Certainly, My Son,” God replied. “Just a second.”
