We all know the bible says that God created the earth in six days and on the seventh day he rested. Well lately I have been wondering what did God do on his day off. There are some challenges if you think about it. Maybe his mates came round and said:
“Alright God? Wanna go down the pub?”
“Nah, not really,” says God, “I’m already there.”
“Oh,” say god’s mates “Well do you wanna get a DVD out? Maybe the new Mel Gibson flick?”
“Oh in the name of humankind, no!” exclaims God, “I made the movie, I've seen it, anyway I'm already there. And you know Mel was a bit of an accident. My hand slipped and when I looked down there was Mel and Tom Cruise.” apologetically, God adds, “Sorry about that, lads.”
“For God's sake, God!” say his mates, “This whole omnipresence thing is really boring! Almost as bad as you being all knowing and all seeing”
“I knew you were going to say that” Says God with a straight face, “The all seeing thing is cool though you should see what Lilith is up to today."
Of course my wife, who is much more learned than me, pointed out that the bible actually says that God spent the day admiring his work.
And that in itself is funny because whenever I put up a shelf or a curtain rod and stand there admiring my work; she gives me a hard time. I asked her if god was allowed to take a day to admire his own work why can’t I? She pointed out that actually when I put up a shelf I'm not so much admiring my work as just backing away very slowly.
It would be unfair to print the witty response to that comment that I came with not 20 hours later.
