Another man lay on his deathbed, his wife sitting beside him holding his hand. He gazes into her loving eys and, painfully, he says to her:
He: Mary, you've been beside me through all the bad things in my life. When we first met and I lost all my money in that stock market crash, there you were by my side.
She: Yes, my sweet.
He: And when my parents were lost in the fire that destroyed my childhood home, you were with me.
She: Sshhh, I know, darling; I know.
He: And when our home was repossessed and we spent two years living on the streets, eating rancid food from trash cans, you were never far from my side.
She: There's no other place I'd ever want to be, my dearest.
He: And now, in my final moments in this world, here you are again, right beside my deathbed. Mary... in the light of your total devotion, there's only onle thing I have to say...
She: Yes, my sweet Prince?
[His voice is barely-audible now, a croaking whisper. She puts her ear to his lips.]
He: Mary... you're a fucking jinx.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
