Sam Smith routinely talks to God. Not the way most people do, i.e. in praying, but actually has conversations with the Almighty! One day he tells God, "My life would be much improved if I won the lottery!" That night's awards are made and Sam's not a winner. So he reminds the Master of the Universe: "I'd be in good shape if only I won the lottery!" And the following day he is once again S.O.L. So he reproves God: "Why are you fighting me so hard on this?" A thundering voice is heard from on high: "Sammy, bubeleh, meet me halfway - buy a ticket!"
