I was in Lincoln Cathedral (again) today and something made me laugh.

I couldn’t quite figure out a way to show it to you all so what I was trying to point out really came across, and this is the best method I could think of.

In one corner of the cathedral there is a board, aimed at children, asking the following question:

It’s a good way to keep the kids interested and give them something to think about and to do.

In a heartwarming way, a lot of the responses stuck to the board were noble, wishes to end world hunger, cure cancer and put an end to all wars and so on:

I continued to scan the board, though, confident that somewhere I’d find one where the author had not quite received the memo.

This one, I imagine, was a highly offended Christian adult:

That person is not, I’m guessing, much of a laugh.

Anyway, I soon hit the jackpot. Given the chance to be God for a day – the almighty – and to do anything you wanted, to make any change to the world you wished to, this person says:

I can’t think of a better way to achieve world peace, can you?
