Of c-course not; you r-religious people n-n-never have any s-sense of humour you t-take everything t-t-tragically.
I am tired and need rest, the same as I did the day after the axle broke and I barked my knee in the gravel. I am not going out now; oh, no the lady going out is the lady who called on me.
