Broken Vase
He Fooled Himself with a Broken Vase
The story is told of a young actor who was trying to impress an important movie director. The actor wanted to send an expensive gift, but he didn’t have the money, but he had an idea. If he could find a valuable vase which was already broken and get it at a very small cost, then he could mail it to the director. He would think it had gotten broken in the mail and would be impressed anyway.
So this actor went to an exclusive store and found a vase that had been broken into many pieces. It was just going to be thrown out, so he was able to get it at a very small cost.
He told them to wrap it up and send it and gave them the address. He waited to hear from the director but heard nothing for several days. Finally he sent a telegram: “Did vase arrive?”

Shortly he received this response: “Vase arrived. But why was each piece wrapped separately?”
As Abraham Lincoln said, “You may fool all the people some of the time, you can even fool some of the people all of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time.” But with God we can never fool him any of the time. “Be sure our acts will find us out”
