"share time with PBC on Lionel on AAR".... I think its relates to our everyday struggles with theocratic authoritarians....

From, "Homeless Terry" Homeless Comic Champion: My brain edited this, but this is it best to memory...

-"Okaaaaay. Sooooo. Once, there was this guy. This guy was shipwrecked at sea. So he's all floating in the ocean and stuff. And hes out there. So he's floating for a couple days, and there's no land in sight. Soooo, this guuuuuy, starts losing it, losing all hope, and stuff.

-So suddonly, he looks up, and he starts praying. And he's praying, and hes praying all he can. Annnd soooo, he starts praying,"God, Oh please God, don't let me drown here in this ocean. Please, I'll be a faithful servant God, do all your bidding all my life if you'd just come and save me from drowning in this ocean".

-Soooooo, the next daaaaay, along comes a fishing boat. And they say"Heeeeey, you better get on our hook here, and get in the boat. You're lucky we came along this way, a storm blew us off coarse, or else we'd never have found ya....". -He looks up at them, and says,"No thanks. I'm waiting for God.". And they move on.

-Day after that, suddonly the guys flaoting there on his piece of driftwood or whatever, and a helicopter flies overhead. They lower a ladder and say,"Heeeeey, you better float over here and grab this ladder. You're lucky we came by this way. Our compass went haywire and luckily we changed coarse. You're lucky we even found ya,". -Guy looks up and says,"Na, that's alright. I can't get on,". -They ask, "why". -And he's like, "cause I've got to wait for God.". ...And they move on.

-Couple days later, guys sitting there, out of strength, barely holding on to the floaty whatever hes holding on to. And a whole cruise ship ferries along the same strech of water. They yell down,"Heeeey, you better get on that anchor here and let us pull you up. We dont normally come this way but a bunch of partying liberals said a psychic they were doing mushrooms with got "a feeling" that we needed to steer the boat this way. If not, there's no possible way otherwise we'd have found ya". -Guy looks up, barely able to speak and murmers,"I, I, I can't... get on ye'all. I, I, I'm, waiting for God....". ...The crew shrugs. The boat moves on.

-As he utters "Thanks, anyway," out of strength, he slips off his make-shift raft and sinks to a watery drowning. "Gulb...Ack! glub...ack!"(inhales) "glubarglglglglglgl! ck... k... !...". And dies.

-Soooooo, later on hes going up to Heaven. And heeeee's looking for God. He sees God, goes over to him.

-God says,"Oh, hey. How's it going? Surprised to see you here...".

-The Guy is all dumbfounded,"What are you talking about God? Didn't you see me down there in that ocean?".

-God responds,"Sure did. Looked very horrible. I would have hated to've been you the last week.".

-Guy responds,"Thats what I mean. I called for your help, I prayed to you and everything, and I was waiting for you to help me. Didnt you hear me?".

-God looks at the guy and says, "Isnt that typical.... Of coarse I heard ya. I sent you a fishing boat, I sent ya a helicopter, and I told Shirly McClain to tell the captain to turn that Cruise ship around to come and get ya. They all found you didn't they? ... ... ...Why didn't you get on one of em?".
