Den ser kanske inte mycket ut för världen, boken
Gud, var god dröj, men det är en riktigt rolig historia.
Över alla kommunikationskanaler på jorden går samma meddelande ut: Gud tänker kolla in läget om två veckor, in person. Det blir vild panik och alla vill självklart sona sina synder innan dess. Hos fader O’Riley samlas fyra f.d. konfirmander i gruppbikt, timmarna innan Guds ankomst. De hinner precis lätta sina hjärtan och sedan anländer Gud. Som en brödrost… Världen har sina tvivel, men det är verkligen han. Nu ska de äntligen få veta vad Guds budskap är!
Karl G Sjödin skrev boken 1999, men en god skröna är tidlös och kan läsas igen och igen.

"Ett gott skratt förlänger livet" (Translation: A good laugh prolongs life.) Really? Not so. Here are exceptions that disprove the "rule" as mentioned in Wikipedia: Modern deaths attributed to laughter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_from_laughter):
SvaraRadera1) On 24 March 1975, Alex Mitchell, a 50-year-old bricklayer from King's Lynn, England, died laughing while watching the "Kung Fu Kapers" episode of The Goodies, featuring a Scotsman in a kilt battling a vicious black pudding with his bagpipes. After twenty-five minutes of continuous laughter, Mr. Mitchell finally slumped on the sofa and died from heart failure. His widow later sent The Goodies a letter thanking them for making Mr. Mitchell's final moments of life so pleasant.
2) In 1989, a Danish audiologist, Ole Bentzen, died laughing while watching A Fish Called Wanda. His heart was estimated to have beaten at between 250 and 500 beats per minute, before he succumbed to cardiac arrest.
3) In 2003, Damnoen Saen-um, a Thai ice cream salesman, is reported to have died while laughing in his sleep at the age of 52. His wife was unable to wake him, and he stopped breathing after two minutes of continuous laughter. He is believed to have died of either heart failure or asphyxiation.
