Just consider that you might find yourself in an open area and suddenly have to take a whiz, and be wearing rubber soled shoes/boots, and then the next thing you know, you're grounded. Sizzle sizzle!

I have fantasized about being interviewed about winning a major sports trophy, such as the Super Bowl or World Series, and saying, "since I know my/our opponents were praying to Jesus Christ, and we won anyway, I can only assume our victory is due to the intervention and superiority of Beelzebub. All hail Satan! Thank you, Dark Lord!"

And yet I *still* think there are those who would take this seriously!
