Well, in these trying times, some people like to look to God for an explanation. Our crack staff at TNLP, (Mainly some dude with tin-foil on his head who keeps complaining about voices) tuned into this conversation between Lawrence Frank and God.
Frank: Are you there God? It's me, Lawrence Frank
G-D: I am here my child, what is puzzling you?
Frank: Well, I recently fired for my job but I do not think it's my fault. Why did the New Jersey Nets fire me?
G-D: Well, the team did not receive a win this season Lawrence, I expect that was the reason why.
Frank: But, the team is horrible God and my best player was out for injury for a period of time. It could not be my fault.
G-D: Well, my son. There are certain situations in our lives where some of these things are out of our control. However, this is a teaching tool for you to use at a later date.
Frank: To be honest, G-D. For some reason, your answer does not seem sufficient to me.
G-D: My Son, Why?
Frank: Well, I always remember the passage in Genesis 4:4 which reads, "And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering"
G-D: Are you calling yourself a sacrificial lamb?
Frank: Well, yeah. C'Mon, even the Timberwolves have a win and they suck more than we do.
G-D: Didn't they beat you?
Frank: That's beside the point. Did I not get sacrificed like the lamb in the passage?
G-D: Well, I guess so. However, never quote scripture again to me.
Frank: Thanks God, that's all for now wait. Actually, I got one more question.
G-D: What is that my son?
Frank: Did you create Megan Fox?
G-D: I'm not responsible for that one, my child. I think the Lord Satan is strong in that one.
(Bobby Simmons runs into the room)
Bobby: God, Are you there? Can you get me a trade out of here? God? God?
