I used a version of that joke the other day in a D&D game as part of a Mortalist (fantasy secular humanists) sermon. That and 'the man by the river' are both funny and pointed towards those who expect miracles with no legwork of their own.

AWWW!! Poor sick Xander; hope he gets well soon. Loved the spiritual message he finds; is it a way of saying if you want something than go out and get it. Need more,more,more please. Love it.

*LOL* YES! You really had have to use it. Great update!
Oh and poor Xander btw. *still lolling*

Is it possible that Spike is the one who typed the helpful story at the end of the letters? It kind of speaks of his Williamy-ness that the messages were type-written. Curiouser and curiouser.

Two minor grammatical things:

1. 'when the other man *starting* using words that made his previous education show and his oh-so-carefully affected accent started softening just the slightest touch, it was a sign that something really was worrying him.'
(Should the word, 'starting', be 'started'?)

2. The word 'averse' should be used instead of 'adverse' in the following sentence: “Figured a white hat such as yourself wouldn’t be adverse to helpin’ a guy out.” (Adverse describes a noun or action; averse applies to people because it relates to a feeling.)

Thanks for sharing.

I reveal nothing *g*

Thank you for the pick ups, much appreciated. :) This is what happens when you try to beta your own work.

I'm glad you've continued this, it's an absolute hoot. Poor Xan, Spike is trying a bit isn't he, but Xander doesn't see it.
