Bob found himself amid a crush of excited
people in the lobby of his office building. He started to fight his way to the front
of the crowd when he ran into a co-worker.
"What's going on?" Bob asked.
"Some religious nut's in the
elevator," said his colleague. "The fanatic's soaked himself in gasoline, and
he's threatening to set himself on fire. I'm taking up a collection for him. Want to
donate?"
"Sure," said Bob. "How much
have you collected so far?"
His friend replied, "Eight books of
matches and six lighters."
