YesBut Devine intervention.

The following captions were posted for YesBut’s Image on 3rd August:

ozlady 's suggested caption -
"As God started bursting through the clouds, some schmuck said, "looks like rain."

"Next time I'll use lightning," he said."

Pope Terry 's suggestion - God with his pants down "Can you guess where that lights coming from... yes that’s right it really does shine from there."

Siddharth Khandelwal 's caption - "This is the last time I am putting dirty clothes out hoping that it will rain and wash them. Can we get a damn washing machine"...

Chewy 's suggestion -"War of the Worlds" has begun.

The four captions were jointly awarded the Caption of the Week Award for the week 28th July to 3rd August 2007.

The captions and photograph inspired me to write:

God looked down and sighed when he saw the action of the Muslim Fundamentalists. He tut-tuted at the antics of the Christian Fundamentalists.

“How could things have gone so wrong? Next time around, I’ll give all the power to the Buddhists and Hindus.”

He looked at George W. Bush and decided he was sufficient justification for a change of policy. He left a post-it note to remind himself to write to the Pope to say He approved of abortion and contraception.

His one big regret was when he saw Tony Blair, if only at the time, he could have remembered the incantation He had used to turn Lot’s wife into a pillar of salt.

He admitted to Himself that He had made mistakes:

“I was too soft with that bitch Eve and her snivelling runt of a partner Adam, I thought I’d be a ’liberal’ parent and allow them to learn from their mistakes, but I should have been more stern.”


“As for Mosses and the Israelites, I must admit I took my eye off the ball. At the time, I was into blogging on tablets of stone. Gave them my best piece of work, took me hours to first compose, then I didn’t know which template to use. Yes, it took me days to carve the Ten Commandments. But, what did they do? They smashed them. They thought I let them off lightly by only requiring them to re-carve them. Suckers, that’s when I decided to give the Arabs the crude oil.”

“I had a gut feeling after seeing Adam and Eve, that I had made a design fault. Glad now I took out insurance and created cockroaches to takeover after humans exterminate themselves. Just one thing, after they take over I’ll have to do something about their eating habits and table manners.”

“The human race has been such a disappointment, I wouldn’t urinate on them if they were on fire. Now that’s a good idea, lets see how they cope with Global Warming”.

"Moreover, as for that jumped up ‘look at me clever Dick, clever Dick’, YesBut, how dare he, have the blog title “Grumpy and farting”, there’s only one Grumpy Old Fart around here, and it isn’t him. I’ve left him have his fun for a couple of months, but enough is enough, it has to stop, now! OK the old fool has to keep himself entertained somehow, but no more grumpy and farting, I’ll allow him to think, but only in moderation."

"So if in future you want to read the old fool you better Bookmark this page, or create a link (is that the right term? - we don’t have all that stuff with tablets of stone). Click here - click here, I find opening the skies and sending a thunderclap far more effective. But you haven’t got my powers so click here."
