Crazy forever
Roman soldiers captured Twelve Apostles, and placed them together on a long bench in a dark basement. An officer came in, and asked, "Whoever tells the location of Jesus, here's 3000 pieces of silver!"
Twelve people raised their hands.
"OK, since you're so eager to tell us about Jesus, we could save some money for ourselves. 2000 pieces, who will tell?"
Murmuring curses, an apostle put down his hand. Then another.
"Since you're still interested, how about 1500 pieces?" Smiled the officer.
More people dropped their hands.
As the price went down, fewer and fewer people remained raising their hands. Finally, when it came to 30 pieces, only Judas held his arm high. The officer paid Judas, and set them free.
A fierce quarrel broke out almost immediately.
"You idiot! How could you sell Jesus for 30 pieces?! He's worth a ton of silver!"
"See? That's why people shouldn't gamble."
"Damn! If we remained silent, we could get more money!"
