"Da kommt Gott - tut so, als wärt ihr beschäftigt." Denn Gott ist stinksauer. Nachdem Er sich im Himmel eine einwöchige Auszeit für einen Angelurlaub gegönnt hat, kehrt Er nach etwa vierhundertfünfzig Jahren (ein Tag im Himmel entspricht 57 Erdenjahren) wieder zurück an Seinen Schreibtisch und muss mitansehen, wie die Erde in der Zwischenzeit den Bach runtergegangen ist.
