OH NO '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

One fine evening a man walked into a fast-food chicken place and
bought a nine-piece bucket of chicken. He took his chicken to the
park for a romantic picnic under the moonlight with his lady.

Upon reaching into the bucket, however, he received a surprise.
Instead of chicken he discovered what was apparently the
restaurant's night deposit--nine thousand dollars. The young
man brought the bucket back to the store and asked for his chicken
in exchange for the money.

The manager, in awe of the young man's
honesty, asked for his name and told him he wanted to call the
newspaper and the local news station to do a story on him. He
would become a local hero, an example of honesty and morality
that would inspire others! The hungry man shrugged it off.
"My date's waiting. I just want my chicken."

The manager's renewed amazement over the young man's humility
almost overwhelmed him. He begged to be allowed to tell the
story on the news. At this the honest man became angry with
the manager and demanded his chicken.

"I don't get it," the manager responded. "You are an honest man
in a dishonest world! This is a perfect opportunity to show the
world that there are honest people still willing to take a stand
for what is right. Please, give me your name and also the woman's
name. Is that your wife?"
"That's the problem," said the young man. "My wife is at home.
The woman in the car is my girlfriend. Now let me have my chicken
so I can get out of here."
