BUYING YOUR WAY TO THE KING

A wealthy American made a trip to London. He was all taken up with Buckingham Palace, where the king lived. So one morning he went to the gates, expecting to go right in, but two soldiers stuck out their bayonets and stopped him. They said, "Where do you think you’re going?"

So he took out a $1,000 bill and said to them, "Take this money; I can pay my way in."

But they said, "You can’t buy your way into the king’s palace. You have to be invited. If the king invites you, you can go in free!"
