Pytheas, no need to be so serious, friend!

I would say, "You gotta fag? Or is all them in hell? I could use a fag about now, right quick sir."
I have my own blog! redkarp.blogspot.com!

Quick question -- is this the god that's all-knowing, or the kind that has to be told the difference between a Brit slang fag and a Yankee slang fag?

Could be interesting if a brit went stateside and asked "You wanna smoke a fag?"  ;)

Oh speaking of the difference between American and British slang - in American slang, "fanny" is a polite way of saying "bottom" or "behind".  If, fo r some reason, I were to talk to my husband's 92 year old Grandma about my rear end, I might well call it a fanny.  So anyway, I was once telling a Scottish friend of mine that I had been on a long motorcycle ride, and "My fanny feels like roast beef!"  He almost died. 

I have faith that there are enough British types on here to get why that's funny.

Non Americans are likely to understand both usages of slang terms due to the ubiquity of US TV and movies.

Maybe he did understand what I meant, but he sure laughed and laughed anyway....

Apparently in some parts, "fanny" is slang for....lady parts.  ;)  So he heard "My lady parts feel like roast beef."

Well, if you went over hard enough bumps on that motorbike ride, I'd imagine even *that* sense of the word fanny would feel like roast beef too. (I've taken some hard, unfortunate knocks on a bicycle. I can only imagine what a motorbike would do! Ack!)

What I'd say to God, upon meeting God: "thank You for giving us the fabulous talents, thoughts and humor of freethinkers and skeptics like Lord Byron, Percy Shelley, Walt Whitman, Rod Serling, Kurt Vonnegut, Carl Sagan, Douglas Adams, George Carlin, etc etc etc...  :D"

How exactly could God respond to that?
"Uh.... you're welcome?"  :P

Why giggle... did God forget to put clothing on that day?  :D

-chortles- I'd just find the whole thing ironic.

And if God did. I'd squint my eyes to see if he has male parts. If I can't see any, I'll conclude they're incredibly small.
