Spot on P2, “K” is a little irritated at the moment, but with good reason as you so eloquently point out.  He told me the parable of Vic and verbatim I do quote it:-

Did you hear the one about a fellah, Vic - who fell off the pier; as he was being swept out to sea a fisherman grabbed a life ring and threw it just ahead of Vic; “grab that” he shouted, “I’ll pull you in”.   “No” shouted Vic, “I’m a religious man, my god will save me”.  

A while later, about 200 meters out to sea, the Bondi lifeboat was out for a training run; they stopped rowing and Vic drifted close to the boat; “here mate” says one oarsman holding out his hand, “hang on and we’ll have you on board in a jiffy”.  “No, no thankyou” says Vic “I’m a religious man, my god will save me” and he floated further out to sea.

Couple of miles later, the boys in the Westpac chopper spotted Vic, pulled up in a hover, winched down the swimmer with a harness for Vic; “no worries mate, we got you safe now” shouts the swimmer, “pop this over your head and we’ll take you ashore: Vic, being a bit knackered by now just shook his head and dog paddled away, later the swimmer reported the Vic’s last words - “I’m a religious man, my god will save me”.

Well, he drowned; died and went upstairs, barged past St Pete and marched into the gods office “Damn it all” he said; “all my life I’ve been good, devout and followed all your teachings and you let me drown you bastard!  “Well, what have to say?”

His god looked puzzled and checked his computer screen; “seems it’s not my fault Vic, we sent you a life ring, a life boat and a helicopter; don’t see what else we could have done, not really”

You just know how it's going end if someone don't move things along - pronto.
