Let's Sacrifice To The God's of Finance And See What Happens

Imagine, you’ve just boarded a flight and you hear the captain come on the PA system “Attention ladies and gentlemen, we will be departing after a brief delay. We need to sacrifice a pair of goats in order to get the flangie working on the throttle control.”

Thats pretty much what passengers on Nepal’s National Airline heard this past week. According to the AP:

Officials at Nepal’s state-run airline have sacrificed two goats to appease Akash Bhairab, the Hindu sky god, following technical problems with one of its Boeing 757 aircraft.

Now personally i think that's a lot more credible and satisfying than putting that wafer in your mouth and believing it's the body of a god who was delivered of a virgin and then got killed and came back to life - like a Zombie.

I mean- maybe wer'e in all this world wide trouble because the God's are pissed off about the lack of sacrifices to them over the past two thousand years?

Hey -let's try an experiment! - We burn that guy Madoff, who screwed all those charities --At the stake - as an offering to the God's of Finance.

If things seem to get better - than we really kick up the heat - and lord knows there are plenty of offerings to go around.

I mean - if Bernie Madoff gets the God's attention -then just think how happy they would be to see Milton Friedman sizzling away in the Houston Astrodome along with a couple of those cutie pies from say Washington Mutual.

Well - you get the idea - and hey -that Nepalese airliner flew perfectly after the goats got sacrificed.

It's a win win situation !
