“The Almighty Jar by Stewart Stafford
Protestors in the street chanted: "Crackpot!"
Mocking supreme leader The Almighty Jar,
Rattling it into swift and oleaginous action,
It flipped its lid and sought vengeance.
The jar ordered its troops to open fire,
On the defiant yet unarmed crowd,
But the army flatly refused to obey,
Until the jar started oozing sneakily.
Too late came a decree that military personnel,
Smear Deindividuation serum on themselves,
Freedom fighters stormed the jar's shelf palace,
Smashing it and replacing it with an urn.

He can now provide for his own comfort, and learn from my munificence to all to be kind to each other.”

A little leftover aloo gobi between two slices of white bread, toasted in one of those clamp sandwich-makers, and served with ketchup and mint chutney, is one of the greatest breakfast achievements of our species.”

They mean that God is the Intangible One, far removed from all approaching, from all grasping; that He is the all-powerful, Majestic One immeasurably exalted above earthly things and earthly striving. Such breadth and height are founded not on measure, but on God’s essence: His holiness, to which man of himself has no access.”
