God(s) Bless Us
How exactly does a "God bless you"
work? I work in customer service, so I tend to gather up a lot of those. Every
time I sneeze, or whenever I help an overly religious person, they say "God
bless you." Are they just instant, one-use sort of things, or are they collectible like "get out of jail free" cards. I hope it's the
latter, because that's how I've been living. I'm hoarding my "God bless
you"s for when I really need them. I'm hoping that some day, when I'm on a
bed dying of cancer, I can look up and say "God, Allah, whomever, I have a
list of twenty 'God bless you's here in my hand. You owe me big." Maybe I
could even use them for a little bit of fun. I can go sky-diving one day, and
just before taking the leap I can clasp my hands and cash in on some divine
protection. Actually, maybe I should keep my "God bless you"s for
when I get to Heaven. As a Pastafarian, I'm not too sure how those will
translate in Heaven, but I better hang on to them just in case the Flying
Spaghetti Monster considers them as something of a status symbol. The person
with the most "God bless you"s gets serious bragging rights, or
something. Nah... jealousy doesn't have any place in Heaven. I know it sounds
like a silly idea to stash "God bless you"s, but won't you all be
jealous when I have this huge stockpile of them ready for my personal use when
the end of the world comes. In one way or another.

gee.. ur already thinking about dying? sounds like old geezer. r u?
I dont think that 73 degrees is cold, I was being sarcastic
Oh and sleeping on the floor doesnt work cause i think is is softer than my bed.
Oh and in relation to your post, my parnets hate the saying, "God bless you" so when ever anyone sneezes or anything we have to say "Damn you". It is rather funny espically in public.
Ahahaha, I've always wondered about that too. I guess it's just sort of something "you do", you know? ^^? Maybe? I don't know.
