I'll Fly Away
[While watching a Weed-B-Gon commercial which touted Weed-B-Gon's ability to kill weeds but keep your grass safe.]
Bill:
How do you think they get it to just kill the weeds and not the grass?
Jon:
It's one of the mysteries of the world.
Bill:
One of the questions we should ask God when we die.
Jon:
That's it.
Bill:
Not, "How is it that the Earth is located precisely where it needs to be in relation to the sun in order to maintain life?"
Jon:
Not, "How can You know everything that's going to happen but still allow us to have free will?"
Bill:
Or, "How can You hear all the prayers of the world simultaneously?"
Jon:
Just, "How does Weed-B-Gon only kill the weeds and not the grass?"
Bill:
He'd be pissed.
