Calmly and without missing a beat, God removed His hat and whapped Ghastly across the back of the head with it. "If I wanted yes-men," He growled good-naturedly and with both suppressed amusement, and some gentle exasperation, "I'd've paid someone to come with me. Or gone to the game. Ain't any fun at all if people rig somethin' in someone's favour."
"Let's try this again," He said with a wink at Ghastly as He picked up a ball. "This time I reckon you can do better, partner."
