<Sunday's Sermon>

These kinds of misinterpretations remind me of something D. Adams once wrote
about:

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

G'Gugvuntts and Vl'hurgs

Two species which existed in the distant past, a very great distance from
the Milky Way galaxy. The G'Gugvuntt were enemies of the Vl'hurgs, and these
strange and warlike beings are on the brink of an interstellar war, because
of an insult uttered by the G'Gugvuntt leader to the mother of the Vl'hurg
leader. Resplendent in their black-jeweled battle shorts, they were meeting
for the last time, and a dreadful silence filled the air as the Vl'hurg
leader was challenging the G'Gugvuntt leader to retract the insult. At the
precise moment, the phrase "I seem to be having tremendous difficulty with
my lifestyle" (muttered by Arthur Dent to himself, which for some strange
reason was carried by a freak wormhole in space back in time to the farthest
regions of the universe where the G'Gugvuntts and the Vl'hurgs lived) filled
the air over the conference table, which in the Vl'hurg tongue was the most
dreadful insult imaginable. It left them no choice but to declare war on the
G'Gugvuntts, which went on for a few thousand years and decimated their
entire galaxy.

After millennia of battle the surviving G'Gugvuntt and Vl'hurg realised what
had actually happened, and joined forces to attack the Milky Way in
retaliation. They crossed vast reaches of space in a journey lasting
thousands of years before reaching their target where they attacked the
first planet they encountered, Earth. Due to a terrible miscalculation of
scale the entire battle fleet was swallowed by a small dog. The Hitchhiker's
Guide to the Galaxy states that this sort of thing happens all the time.

I hope the latest feud we bear witness to doesn't last that long! ;-)
