To whom it may concern,
I write to apply for the position of God as advertised in WTFF, 08 December 2007.
I believe that I am eminently qualified for this position as evidenced by my contrariness, ability to hold and maintain grudges, and my dedication to both smiting and blighting. Indeed, I've have taken a number of university courses on these particular subjects and have excelled without any effort whatsoever. This is, of course, not to say that I do not work hard in my endeavours to smite and blight. I pride myself on continually finding new and inventive ways to revenge and punish and have, over last four years, worked out an apprenticeship for a company of smiters and blighters extraordinaire. (They have, in the colloquial, taught me shit that ain't on no curriculum and defies all human logic and is well beyond common humanity. They are, in fact, so far removed from common humanity that one suspects that they are not human in the least. Still, the less said the better.)
In addition to my years of smiting and blighting tuition, I have studied the arts of strategy, in particular relation to plagues, and have taken an advanced degree in bug husbandry. I have also flirted with amphibian husbandry. My dedication to this cause is such that I maintain a plague of cockroaches merely for my own amusement. Locusts are, of course, a staple of all plague studies and I am well versed in them.
My omniscience tells me that I shall soon be hearing from you with regard to this application. This being so, I look forward to your rather stilted and awkward call and shall be kind to you in your fear.
Yours sincerely,
etc etc
Me laugh.
Hired!
The present God are cleaning the desk at the moment, but the room will be ready any day now...
If by 'present' you mean that one I smote this afternoon then I think we can safely say that the problem has been taken care of.
