Apparently
The government now controls:
- What you can do to your house
- Most of the schools - even the teachers are on the government payroll
- Most of the hospitals - all those nurses - they're working for the govt!
- The roads ... and you can't use your car on them unless they let you.
- And lots of other stuff
And they take money out of your pay packet to pay for military secret projects and stuff.
It's true I tell you!

Spirits
Not quite in the dark, but in her mind a lot of this happens during the night...
A friend's mother complains occasionally about the resident poltergeist in their house moving things around into strange places. A tea towel for example, will move from the drawer in the kitchen into the bedroom, or the TV remote being removed and deposited in the garage.
Funny thing is, the mischievous ghoul nearly always helps itself to the drinks cabinet as well.
Which annoys her no end, as she rather likes glass or five herself every evening.

It's in the sky
There's like this big all powerful thing that controls everything, that created everything and can do, like, anything if it wants to. It just doesn't do it all the time 'cos that would give the game away.
I know this 'cos I saw it written down somewhere in some old book ... called the Bible or something.
(Sorry forgot the caps lock, and variety of fonts, colours and styles, and mile long web page.)

Special Treatment
A few years' back I was on holiday with the now current Mrs There.
She'd got herself previously a credit card from a company carefully selected on the basis that they offered her a free mobile phone. Anyway, she'd phoned them before we left to tell them we were off to the US, just so they wouldn't think anything was up when the USD transactions started appearing from random places in California.
All was well for a day or so, then ... card was rejected. Phone calls to the credit card company had to be made to coincide with UK opening times, of course, and by the time things had been sorted, we were more than halfway through the holiday. We'd been using my faithful "work" credit card (from the ShatWest) in the meantime ("work" were very understanding about it ... I'm self-employed).
And the credit card company that had caused us so much grief for using our card in America, even after we told them we would be over there?
Errrm ... American Express.
(Ditched it soon afterwards anyway. Sh*t customer service and nowhere takes it anyway, apparently thanks to their exorbitant merchant charges.)
