No, I forgive you. Just don't let it happen again.

God said to Abraham: "Kill me a son."
Abe said "God, you puttin' me on?"
God said "Abe?", Abe said "What?"
God said "You can do what you want but,
next time you see me coming, you better run."

Abe said ""Where you want this killin' done?"
God said "Down on Highway 61."
