Even prayer comes at a price
Grandad August 10th, 2007
I mentioned the other day that I needed help with designing a website.
I was desparate.
That night, I gathered a list of all the deities I could find on Google.
I prayed like I never prayed before. I prayed to them all. Every God that had ever been invented. I’ll try anything once.
And it worked! I woke in the morning and things were a lot clearer. Suddenly all those weird thing you see when you view a web page’s source made a sort of sense. Amen to the power of prayer!
Then yesterday, I was happily programming away, and there was a ‘ping’ and a mail arrived in my inbox.
Nobody ever told me about this. I didn’t know you are billed by the minute? I know everyone calls themselves ‘consultants’ these days, but this is ridiculous.
You may think I am kidding; that I touched up the image above? I didn’t [apart from a bit of smudging].
I swear to God.
No I don’t.
I don’t want to be billed for that too.

You smudged my name off! I am the one with the green arrow.
I want my money.
Green arrow = Replied to.
So you got my response, even if you didn’t like it.
Invoice !!!! Jeeeezus!
Maybe that’s how it was meant to be read.
Sorry to busy laughing to be funny!
If it’s any interest, he sent it from South Korea. The new Holy Land?
Best be careful when using colorful language…invoking the Name might cost you big time!
(maybe other deities also helped out but gave Their assistance free of charge. What was the billing address?)
Colourful language is part of the charm of th’Irish!
If it was one of the other deities then that invoice is a bit of a cheek.
There was no billing address which was strange. He just wants me to give my entire worldly possessions to a South Korean.
Fat chance!
When my Irish mother “slipped” in front of us and used a more colorful expression, she would say, “Pardon my French”. Is this a common saying or a family idiom?
‘Pardon my French’ is a common expression this side of The Pond, meaning ‘excuse my language’.
I don’t know where the ‘French’ bit comes from. I don’t think they swear any more than the rest of us! Apart from muttering the odd ‘merde’?
I guess it just sounds worse in French…all those nasally honks and sputters.
South Korea is a wonderful place.
