the answer takes on
ecumenical fashion issues
“What are you
talking about?”
“You slandered
their Prophet.”
“No I haven't!”
“Well not yet.
But God told him you're going to. It's a prophecy. It's what he does.
Unfortunately because you will be slandering him they are sure they
have to kill you.”
“What?”
“He prophecise'd
that they would do this. Kill you before you could slander him.”
“So if I slander
him first they'd have to stop.”
“But of course
any slander would surely piss the rest of them off enough to want to
kill you.”
“Darned if I
slander and darned if I don't. What about libel? Am I going to libel
him in the prophecy?”
“No just
slander.” So far. A new prayer trance and who knows?
“Not like me not
to go full out for both since I'm getting killed for not doing it
anyway.” We all seem to agree I prefer libelous slander.
“What does this
prophecy say I say anyway?”
“You call him a
false prophet.”
“It's his beards
that's false. I mean look at it! It has ear loops for crissake!”
“Careful Paul the
beards have ears!” And cameras no doubt. Beard cameras, beard guns,
beard beer coolers; face hair lifestyle components been around for
hundreds of years.
“Will that
fulfill the prophecy? Tell him his beard looks fake?”
“It's only
slander if it's untrue. Everybody knows his beard is fake.” The
whole world knows it. It looks like a cheap stage prop, halloween,
carnival, clowns beard. All of his religions elite now emulate his
fake beard style. It's like wigs once were. They keep clean shaven
and glue or clamp a bushy beard on to do church work. He keeps his on
all the time. They say he does it to confuse ID scanner cams. Like no
one really knows what he looks like! Tho everybody does cause his un
bearded picture is on all their lit. You cannot advance in their
hierarchy without the beard. Look appropriately apocalyptic
patriarchal for prophetic biz naz and still get into a classy club
later as a slick cheeked hipster. That's it! I gotta get me a big
fake beard too! And wear it at the disco.
