"I am," God replied. "And you are?"
"Till 9:00 p.m. my name is Stacy. After that, you can call me Free
Will."
"Nice to meet you, Free Will. Listen, I'm looking for a hardware store
around here."
"Whatchu need to go to a hardware store for, babe?"
"I'm in need of a hammer."
"So you can nail things?"
"Yes," said God, "so I can nail things."
Free will blushed. "I bet you like to nail things, Dadd—I mean,
Heavenly Father."
"So do you know of a hardware store around here or not?"
"Course I do," said Free Will. "But I got an extra hammer right here if
you want it. Save you the trouble of going to the hardware store."
"Oh, that's excellent," said God. "You'll let me borrow the hammer?"
