Well, it's good for the garden. Hang on, where's the garden?

So the residents of the Mudslide Formerly Known as the Cornish Village of Boscastle have held a church service to give thanks that no-one was killed in the flood that mash up dem town.

 

Give thanks? To God? Er, who do they think organised the flood in the first place?

 

I mean, there’s a clue in the phrase ‘Act of God’.

 

I’d’ve thought God might be a little bit embarrassed about the whole affair. Maybe that’s why they’re giving thanks. To make Him feel a bit sheepish. Perhaps these are sarcastic prayers.

 

People of Boscastle: Oh Lord, thanks a lot.

God (out of ‘The Bible’ and some films): You’re welcome.

PoB: No, thanks a lot, God.

Yahweh: Oh, you’re being sarcastic?

PoB: Duh.

He: You’re upset?

PoB: Ooh look, He really is omniscient.

The Lord: Because of the Act of Me?

PoB: Yes. You washed our cars and houses away.

The Almighty: Hmm. Well, I did sort of create them in the first place. And you, for that matter. And matter.

PoB: Are you going to bring that up every time we have an argument?

The Holy Spirit: How about I make you a nice new species? A pretty bird, to cheer you up?

PoB: We’d prefer some dry socks.


How am I driving?
