Are you there God? It's me, Norrin Radd

So this guy comes in looking for Silver Surfer stuff. He wants newer stories, not old ones. So he's basically denying himself the best material right off the bat there, but never mind that. After I aim him in the right direction and hook him up with the names of some of the trades we don't have in stock at the moment, I ring him up and he says:

'I have an agreement with God; that when I die I get to cruise the universe as his Silver Surfer.'

....bo-kay. He said it real matter of fact like and didn't seem to be joking. So a few conclusions from this:

1) That direct line to God thing must be handy

2) Dude, if I knew I could just make that shit up and it was good to go when I die I would have been planning for my afterlife way back

3) Why do so many people seem to lack that important thing that tells you it's best not to say certain things in public?

Now, as far as an afterlife choice goes, granted, that one is almost sweet despite the endless brooding and whining that comes with being the Silver Surfer. I myself would have had trouble deciding on an afterlife full of either Transformers or monkeys, but now that I know that I can just change it up willynilly I guess I can have both.
