Busybodies

The cares of the universe had been resting more heavily than usual on God's shoulder, and He frankly confessed the need for a rest. "Why dont you take a short vacation, Boss?" suggested the arch angel Gabriel. "Yes, but where? "How about that place, Earth? You haven't been there for a good while." God shuddered. "No, no. It's a world of busybodies. I was there two thousand years ago and that's enough, thank you. And they're still talking about down there." Look among the nation and watch Be utterly astounded! For I will work a work in your days which you would not believe, thought it were told you.
