Tuesday?
Yup, there was no mistaking the calendar. Tuesday it was.
Terrible days, tuesdays. Monday may be over and done with but there's still almost a whole week till the weekend…
And then the intercom cackled and sputtered.
- Junior?
- Yes, Dad, what is it?
- I need to see you in my office. Urgent business.
I didn't like the sound of that.
Arriving in Dad's office I was told that I had to sit in for him the whole day. Maybe even more...
- But Dad!
- I am sorry, but you have to. We can't very well leave the World to itself, can we?
- But I thought we had an agreement with the others?
- We do, but Odin has swanned off on his holidays, it's The Holy Spirit's day off, Allah has called in sick and I have a very urgent appointment. Seems The Holy Flame of Arnor is about to run out of fuel.
- But… but… What about Buddha?
- Not a real deity, as you well know. Never passed the exams, remember?
- Can't you ask Spirit? Where is he?
- Ah, he's probably up in the mountains seeing to his so-called 'secret' still. He thinks I don't know about it. Apparently he keeps forgetting that You, he and I are one and the same. It's that dirty fusel he's brewing. I swear it's killing his brain. Gave me gout two weeks ago too.
- Can't you get old man Peter to sit in for you, then?
- Impossible. Who should guard the pearly gate? Nope, I'm sorry. You'll have to do it. I must insist!
- But I have an appointment as well. I am supposed to go bowling!
- Bowling? With whom?
- Just this dude I met. And his mates Walter and Donny.
- You'll just have to cancel or postpone or whatever. And now I must be on my way. I promise to be back as soon as possible.
And with that he was gone.
Shortly after there was a polite knocking on the door: - Excuse me, young master?
- Yeah, Peter, what is it?
- Ms Karma is here to see you.
- Of course she is. Well, show her to the office and tell her I'll be there in an instant...

HA!
It reminds me a bit of Mr. Diety.

It's just another day in the life of Jesus, paulh. You thought his troubles were over? Think again!
I never heard of 'Mr. Deity' but it looks interesting, Rob. I see Richard Dawkins is in one of the episodes. Must check that out

I think I know where Odin is taking his holidays. He has been having them in Middle Earth and has been visiting the hobbits living in the Shires.

That might have been Zeus. He also had a penchant for disguising himself as a swan, remember?

It's easier to understand the question once you know the answer [not an original thought, if you've seen "Jeopardy" enough times...]

I can think of another reference where the answer comes before the question.

I can too, but I'm afraid of boring everyone by mentioning it.

When you're bored by the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy you're bored of life.
Or something.
On a sidenote, I caught the tail end of the film today on TV. I took closer notice of the Point of View gun than I usually do and thought it would make a nice accessory to my steampunk costume. Then I looked online to see what a replica goes for. The answer is not 42, it's apparently $600.
...
Maybe I can make one myself cheaper...
But it will take years to gather parts...
No! Robert! Do NOT waste $600 on a prop replica.
