Specifically, last Tuesday around three o'clock.
At this time the world was very crowded indeed and, therefore, there was no parking to be had. Not for love or, more importantly, money. This is one of the higher powers jokes. When there are no cars there is plenty of parking . . . Whole plains and continents. (S)He finds this most amusing although it does nothing for the rest of us.
But who are we to complain? Surely we too would grow bored with eternity. After all, you can't speak to too many people. For one thing too many prophets spoil the soup. . . or something like that. . . and, for another, no god wants to be thought easy.
Let's face it. The populace doesn't want a Lord that will drop around for a casual chat over tea and cookies. No. Nobody is willing to have the odd bitch through the latest People magazine with G-d. So, (S)He has Her/His little jokes and, really, if (S)He can forgive us our little peccadilloes, well, can't we forgive Him/Her? Surely we can.
Now that that's settled let's get back to last Tuesday round three. Oh, hell! Now I've forgotten what happened. Well, can't have been that interesting then, can it?
