Pasta

God spoke to her through a boiling pot of water. He said, “JooOooOOaaOoannnOOooa!” She could hardly

understand Him through all the burble of His boiling. She flung the water down the sink before He could

continue. God had to spend 24 hours in the waste-water treatment plant before making His way back up

through her pipes. This time, as He spoke, He cooked her macaroni. “Why haven’t you been returning my

phone calls?” He simmered.
