Piece of Cake
-------------------------

Little Johnny walked into the kitchen, saw his mother making a
cake and announced, "I'll be playing in my room for the next two
hours. I sure would like a piece of cake when you're finished."

Later, when his mother brought him a piece of cooled cake, Little
Johnny exclaimed, "Golly, it worked!"

Puzzled, his mother asked, "What do you mean?"

Little Johnny replied, "Daddy said that in order to get a piece
around here, you have to spend a couple of hours playing first!"
