Really? CLK man himself has told us how he promised god he'd quit that evil likker if only he'd save his wife. God apparently took the deal. The bible is full of bargains with god. Making deals with god is an ancient Hebrew tradition, and many Catholics practice it to this day. I have in my side yard an elaborate capilla - a little bitty chapel adorned with wrought iron, erected generations ago by a great grandparent as promised payment to the Blessed Virgin for saving a child's life. Mexican roadsides are dotted with such payments for "answered prayers."

Hey CLK, if you can find one in your neck of the woods, go get a plastic dashboard style statue of St. Joseph. It has to be St. Joseph. In the dirt outside your building dig a hole. Bury the statue upside down facing the building. Then pray to St. Joe to help you sell your property. No matter you're not a Cat-lick. St. Joe doesn't care. As my great uncle the Archbishop used to say, "It couldn't hurt".
