  I'm at Starbucks today and nearby are three very cute, very intelligent-looking teenage girls, maybe 16 or 17 years old. They have their Bibles out (I live in hick-ville, what can I say?). One girl was saying:

  "So I'm just driving and praying to God, my eyes are all watery, "God, give me a sign, please!" And then I get off the freeway and I look and the first road sign says "Clearwater." Then I drive by a car wash. And I realize, wow, God wants me to be cleansed. Then I drive by another road, Vista Way. Oh, I think, that means I should go "this way!" (Because Vista sounds like "this"? I don't get it!) And so I turn back and go down Vista Way and pass a sign that says "40 nights". So I finally got it: God wants me to be cleansed for 40 nights."

  Wow. I don't think I've ever heard such intrepid logic in my life!! :roll: I was just sitting there doing my best not to laugh hysterically.

  You have got to be kidding me! She sounds like one of the girls from Saved.

  P.S. Lovely avatar, kitties.

  Wow, it gets even better - I was asking doc where the girl could have seen a sign that said "40 nights" - kind of an odd sign, plus it was on Vista Way which is a tiny street. He reminded me they just put in a new bedroom-furniture store called "40 Winks." Between car washes and stores selling night stands we should be set for any divine message!!

  Reminds me of a Phoebe bit on Friends:

  Ross: Mon, speaking of which, Dad says he knows someone you can call for an interview.
  Pheebs: Okay, RIGHT THERE. That's the third sign today. Right there.
  Pheebs: No, 'cuz you just said "Dad", and everywhere I go today, I keep getting signs telling me to go see my father. Like when I was walking over here, and I passed a buffet...which is my father's last name.
  Rachel: Uh-huh...
  Pheebs: And they were serving franks...which is his first name, minus the "s" at the end...AND, there was a rotisserie, with a spinning chicken...
  Monica: His Indian name??
  Pheebs: No! Because I chickened out the last time...when I tried to meet him. So, coincidences? I don't think so!
  The gang: Wow...Freaky...That is weird...
  Rachel: Okay, so who wants the last hamburger?
  Pheebs: Oh, alright, that's it. Now I have to go see him.
  Monica: Why?
  Pheebs: Hamburger?!?....McDonald's?!?....Old McDonald had a farm?!?...My dad is a pharmacist?!?...
