Dean and an Angel

An angel appears at a faculty meeting and tells the dean that in return for his selfless and commendable behavior, the Lord will reward him with his choice of endless wealth, wisdom, or beauty. Without hesitating, the dean
selects endless wisdom. “Made!” says the angel, and disappears in a cloud of smoke and a bolt of lightning. Now, all heads turn toward the dean, who stands surrounded by a faint circle of light. One of his colleagues whispers, “Say something.” The dean sighs and says, “I should have taken the money.”
