Morality -- in spite of the bible?

Huh. For some reason your story reminds me of the story of Griselda. Griselda's patience and love and loyalty is rewarded by finding out that her husband didn't really murder her children years ago, and didn't really divorce her -- and she can come back and be his wife! Which she happily does...despite having missed seeing her own children grow up!Same message. Be patient and do what your told, despite being fucked around with by your superiors. And your reward will be...finding out that the superior who is fucking around with you is just joking, and loves you after all!Ugh. I like The Decameron as a whole, but what a nasty way to end the book.

Oh God said to Abraham, "Kill me a son"
Abe says, "Man, you must be puttin' me on"
God say, "No." Abe say, "What?"
God say, "You can do what you want Abe, but
The next time you see me comin' you better run"
Well Abe says, "Where do you want this killin' done?"
