BIG APPLE FINALLY OUT OF PURGATORY

[ignorant bastard]

<
NEW YORK CITY (Rueters) -- Despite
the worse traffic jam in the history of
History, NYC survived and is now back
in God's good graces.
<
"I've forgiven and forgotten," said God,
who swore the city would see a 17-year
major sports championship famine
for failing to thank Him for the Giants'
Super Bowl victory.
<
"New Yorkers were just too overcome
with happiness and forgot all about
Me -- which I now realize is a human
failing," the Supreme Bean told a
New York Timex reporter. "Let's just
call it a minor understanding. But they
sure paid up for it in spades with their
wonderful show of gratitude on Friday
evening."
<
During the five-minute "Thanks Be
to God" city-wide tribute that began
precisely at 5:34 p.m., all traffic came
to a screeching halt (even on the
Expressways), and all Giants fans
bowed their heads -- even taxi drivers
who "speaka no English" -- to praise
The Big Guy in the Sky for five full
minutes.
<
Miraculously, there were no accidents
and, actually, not even one really close
call.
<
The closest came on the Brooklyn
Bridge when an unidentified Vatican
ghost-chaser came THIS CLOSE to
a rear-end collision.

Fred Fenderloffer, the former rock
'n roll singer and now owner of Freddy's
Fenders Towing Service and Ball
Joints Inc. in Brooklyn, called it the
slowest day for tows after accidents
since that January snowstorm (two
feet) back in 1983.
<
Here's the earlier story just in case
you missed it.

Before departing the Big Apple,
God left this list of previous Super
\Bowl winners as well as His list
