He seemed to be fond of granting what the mark was praying for, but with an unpleasant twist. Kinda like, "Okay, you prayed that Uncle Harry wouldn't die, so I'll grant the request ... so he'll be in a coma for ten years."

You mean sort of like those stories about asking for wishes from djinni or efreeti's?

This was taught to us by way of getting us not to pray that way, but it did make it seem that God acted like the Marx Brothers. With a really twisted sense of humor.

If God id supernaturally intelligent and powerful, then wouldn't his sense of humor also be supernaturally well developed ;) I'm sure nobody appreciates a good gag like God.

God's sense of humor is incredible. Seemed like "time" was going too fast for me, the days blending into nights and next thing I knew, three weeks would pass. So I asked God to slow down time for me. The next day, my watch stopped, the internal clock on my computer lost about 10 minutes and the my car's clock lost a few minutes. I then realized the stupidity of my request! LOL! One time had to drive a car through hoardes of people to an auction. Would miss my time on the block if I didin't get there fast. Asked God to "part the people" so I could get through. Within a minute, a big old Honey Dipper/Porto Potty cleaner truck pulled in front of us and the people scattered!

Maybe Dr. Henry J. Heimlich, but for different reasons?
