God sulks
You’d think in a poor country such as ours, food would be almost sacred. Well, check this out:
In a country where millions go to bed hungry, Rs 1 million worth of food meant as a holy offering at Orissa’s Jagannath temple was destroyed on Friday because a foreigner had entered it—an act seen as defiling the premises.
Ooh, God is so sensitive, She sulked and refused to eat because a foreigner entered Her dwelling place. Ooh, poor thing.
