Way back in college in the 80’s, I was on the debate and forensics team (I know, I know). For a speech to entertain, I opened with:
“In the beginning there was nothing, and then the Lord said, ‘Let There Be Light.’, and there was still nothing. Only you could see it.”
Killed with it. Every time.
Until the time in a championship round when a Mormon judge put me last because, as he put it, “The Lord God will not be mocked.”
You can tell I’m completely over it, 30 years later.
