How rich are you?

A very rich trader died at the age of 51 and went to God's visa office.

"Want visa for Heaven", he said to the old lady at the counter.

"Pl give your finger prints here", she said pointing to a screen.

"What's that!" he asked.

"The machine will rate you on a scale of 10 on richness. If you score more than 7, you go to Heaven!"

"No problem!" said teh beaming trader who was sure to score 10 out of 10.

He put his palm on the screen

Pop came out the result

"2½/10 : The gentleman may kindly be trasported to Hell.

- By order

Secretary,

Home Affairs,

Kingdom of God"

"How can it be?" shouted the effluent trader.

"Your data is wrong.

I am one of the most successful trader in my generation.

And your machine has given me 2½ out of 10 on richness scale!!!" he protested.

whent the martials were about to catch him from arms

the old lady said

"Wait, Martials!"

"Here is the detailed score card for you, Mr.Trader" said the lady, handing over the scoresheet to the agitated trader.

The trader snatched it in a flash and read

"Richness by wealth = 1/1

Richness by Health = 0/1

Richness by character = 0/1

Richness by spiritual solace = 0/1

Richness by Family & Social ties = 0/1

Richness by Self Realisation = 1/1

Richness by Mannerisms, Behaviour & Cultural Refinement = 0/1

Richness by Fragrance of Wisdom = 0/1

Richness by Apathy = 0/1

Richness by Luck = 0.5/1

Total = 2½/10

Trader's eyes and mouth went wide open!

...and suddenly he woke up!

..and found himself sweating like hell!

"Thank God, I still have time!" he murmured!
