One chap advises: “Even things you can get free may not be worth the effort  --
excepting of course: air and wild berries.”
 

Even the non religious (after surviving a catastrophic event)
will commonly give thanks to: “the Lord” --

An alien visitor asked a human:
“Isn’t it difficult being a ventriloquist’s dummy and keeping up the full time pretense that you aren’t aware of what’s going on?!”

Oz Fest.
“The day must come when everyone’s wizard is exposed.”
      “There is no such inevitable day.”
“You’re right of course  --  I was just hoping.”
