The Lord Giveth

Mysterious ways, indeed. A New Zealand pizza deliveryman received an $820 tip from the congregation of an Auckland church.

The house of worship's pastor urged his flock to pony up and "give the guy the biggest tip he's ever had."

Hong Fei Li, the congregation's benefactor, is part-time Pizza Hut driver and a hospitality student at the New Zealand Management Academy. He plans to use the money for student-related expenses.

The pastor was also motivated by the fact that pie delivery is a dangerous job and he wanted to do something nice for a pizza driver.

Check out The Association of Pizza Delivery Drivers, and don't forget to tip the delivery guy or gal. Also: Pizza delivery stories.

Pizza delivery guy story: I was late going to my mother's house (as usual), and I was starting to freak out. Of course, there are no cabs in the area of Brooklyn in which she lives.* A Domino's or some other kind of chain car stops at the stoplight at Kings Highway and Nostrand Avenue. I jump into the front seat, and I tell the guy (in only a slightly deranged manner): I'll give you a great tip if you take me to . . . He was really cool. He was about 18 and after recoiling only a little said: OK and took me to my parent's house.

*Sorry, but I could not end a sentence in a preposition.
