My Exclusive Interview with God – Doug Bercy for the Swamp Sentinel
(the interview continues over lunch)
God: Well, this looks good enough to eat.
DB: Sure does. Should we say grace?
God: If it makes you feel better, Doug.
DB: It’s kind of common practice down here, thanking you for food.
God: Well, thank the chef and Meghan, young man. I can’t make toast.
DB: I’m not too handy in the kitchen either, G, but the thinking is it’s your benevolence that allows us to have anything to eat at all.
God: Oh, okay. Then fire away with the blessing. I’m starving over here.
DB: Would you do the honors?
God: Aren’t you supposed to be thanking me for this spread?
DB: Yes, I just thought it would be special if you did it. Besides, my tongue is tied thinking about doing the thanking face to face.
God: Alright. (God folds his hands together and bows his head) Over the lips and past the gums, look out stomach here it comes. We good?
DB: Amen.
