Soo smebody was like hey,
"Mind
if I talk
to you about
our Lord & Savior?"
I was like hey "Knock yourself
out you can talk about YOUR
Lord & Savior all night! But
I've got mine and mine's
the best."
"Jesus Christ" they said?
"Don't blaspheme, CUR."
I intoned: "MY LORD
will take care of you
later for such slips!"
"No no I mean - is your
Lord & Savior Jesus Christ?"
"Mind your business."
I intoned. "Just get on
with your sales pitch. We'll
see who's interested."
Wait. Out of curiosity
I asked, "Are you saying
yours
is
Jesus Christ?"
"Sure is," they intoned.
"He's pretty great, isn't he?"
I broke into a broad grin: winning,
winsome - but with a sort of mysterious,
maybe mischievous conspiratorial leer
in it, the almost sneering superiority
of 'we in-the-know,' Lording around,
Lording all over. A grin like that
- like being in cahoots with some
stranger who thinks you are.
"So,"
I nodded indulgently. "Gimme your
best Good News pitch. I'll help you
tune it up a bit. Big time."
