How to damn God with faint praise

November 3, 2015 by Randal

Emcee: “And now, finally, I’d like to welcome our 2015 winner. Please give a very warm welcome to Dave Smith!”

[Applause]

Dave Smith: “Thanks very much. I’m honored to be here tonight. It wasn’t easy. And there’s a long list of people to thank.” [unfolds a piece of paper, takes a breath, and starts reading] “First, thanks to Mom and Dad for always being there. For my lovely wife Sue for all your support. And for my Thursday night poker pals. You guys know who you are!” [laughter] “Also I’d like to thank Al, Reggie, Jennifer, and Mike. Oh, and God, of course!”

[in heaven, God turns to Gabriel, incredulous] “Did he mention me after the ‘poker pals’?”

Gabriel: “Yup.”
