There's this horribly cheesy program on an over-the-air religious TV network here in Lincoln that should be called, "Pay for Prayer." You're supposed to send in money and a prayer request. Then they show the prayer "answers" with a headlines slideshow, like you see in movies when they show a plot development via a series of fictitious newspaper and magazine headlines.
Anyway, one lucky lady the other day squealed, "I sent in $77 and three days later, we got increased income of $750."
Tomorrow we're expecting one of our neighbors to show up on TV, overcome by emotion and yelling, "Praise the Lord! I sent in $77 and my neighbors got sod!"
Sorry, habitat-deprived flora and fauna from far and wide: Our yard, formerly a weed-infested candidate for EPA or Fish & Wildlife Service funding, now has sod.
(Kidding aside, prayer works. No deposit required.)
(Can somebody out there tell me the correct cinematography term for "headline slideshow?)
