a short story

When GOD got DRUNK

Let’s say, God got a bit too drunk at the New Earth Party and ended up being late to office the next day. Since there was no one to ask him why, he decides, he would punish himself for his tardiness. Centuries pass by until one day he realizes it’s time to penalize himself.
So he exchanges souls with a drunkard on earth for a day. Now if the story was about the drunk in God’s boots, it would not turn out be interesting enough. I mean how creative can you get with a drunkard at the God’s desk looking down at the world. From the top he would see thousands of people banging into each other, quarreling, making love, competing for a place, moving hurriedly as if all that mattered was covering maximum ground each day. In the whole process, some would cry, die, laugh or starve. He would never enjoy this and probably look for alcohol in desk’s drawer.

But what’s interesting is how God survives his day on earth. Only he knows that he is not the inebriate anymore. He would probably hate his body; look for money in his pocket to get a hair cut. So like any other broke drunkard, he would beg for a few pennies. What a waste of talent.[:P]
And now as the day passes by, his body demands food and may be alcohol in some form or the other. Since God decided to be a good man, he stops a gentleman hurrying to catch the bus and says,” O Son of Adam! I am the Almighty you pray to each Sunday at the church. You can do some good by helping me get food; for I have sinned and have to stay in this body for a day.”
The man says” Ah! I hear that everyday. Here, take the penny and go get drunk. And for your information I am not a catholic.”God realizes its time the world ended and they had another party up there- THE HAPPY NEW EARTH PARTY.
