Love
I take my wife out to dinner. I scan the restaurant for attractive women; one takes my eye. She is smiling. It is my wife in the giant mirror that stretches across the room like time.

Enormous Rubber Hands
God looked at the reflection he made in car windows as he passed, hoping to see his head, but the cars were all too low down and the closest he got were glimpses of his enormous rubber hands.

When Jesus had shown Doubting Thomas the holes in his hands Thomas had laughed, slapped Jesus on the back and wandered off into the misty and contorted folds of history.

The Sunflowers
Every morning I remark to myself how well my sunflowers are doing; they are a constant source of inspiration and wonder to me.

Ghosts
I once attended a series of lectures on ghosts. At the first the lecturer asked if anyone had seen a ghost; about ten people put up their hands.
At the second lecture he asked if anyone had ever been touched by a ghost; four people put up their hands.
At the third lecture the lecturer asked if anyone had ever slept with a ghost; no one put up their hands and I stopped going to those particular lectures.

The Agnostic
Some say you cannot sit on the fence forever.
What they fail to realize is that the fence is very wide, has everything one could need and has the best of all views.

War Story
During a lull in the fighting the soldiers smoked cigarettes and showed each other pictures of their sweethearts back home. One took out a carefully folded picture of himself.

God hadn't been seen for some time.
Neighbours became concerned about the smell and phoned the council. He was found sitting in his favourite armchair; he had been dead for ages. The flat was in total chaos.
