Late Night Call

I called up God late last night. God said, “What is it, Brooks?”

I said, “I’m sorry to call so late.”

God said, “Then why call?”

I said, “Um, you don’t sleep, do you?”

God said, “Just-what is it?”

I said, “Okay, is it true that I have to ask you for what I want to get what I want?”

God didn’t say anything. I heard God sigh and then bang the phone repeatedly on the ground.
