MORE FROM THE WAITING ROOM


CONTINUATION OF THE WAITING ROOM:

The Head Angel now reads from the list. She nods at the young
Marine holding two young Muslim children. "God or Allah, be it
your preference awaits you young man. It seems there has been
an oversight keeping you waiting. The valor of deed overlooked
of you trying to save these children diving in vain on that
roadside bomb." The young Lance Corporal giving the sign of
the cross as he carried the two Pakistan children through the
opening that parted for them. The bomber livid that they should
go before him. Soon those remaining bickering over whose God was
most just. As a loud thunderclap silenced the protests.

At this moment the head Angel raises her hand for silence, "And
now, those of you on the second list allowed a second chance
to enter the kingdom of all God's holy. Now that those committed
to entrance by faith and deed. You who are chosen for reincarnation.
Those of you wishing to be dogs, or cats, pigs or frogs get in
this line." More shouting, "And those who do not want to take these
forms of redemption. The elevator down will be in ten minutes.
You will be greeted there by a man in a red suit with sickle. He
will be happy to show you the gates to hell.
