Both were bored. The first one from so much happiness around him.

Laughter and more laughter and more laughter for ever end ever…he

was feeling sick and tired from so much honey…the second one…sick

and tired from so much suffering and gnawing and clinching of teeth…

all at once, for ever and ever. Both needed a vacation. A one million

year vacation. Maybe we can see each other and play a game of chess.

Thought the Devil. So, he used his telepathy to contact God.

God knew in a short second what was all about with the Devil ‘s plan.

He said: sure. when…your place or mine…? the Devil said: what about

the Mediterranean spa by the Spanish coast…we could have drinks…

see beautiful women in the beach…you know…yes, yes, yes. I know.

Said God. What about…Costa Brava…? wonderful, said the

naughty Devil. Both grabbed some beach shorts and a beautiful chess

board and headed for a good time.

They got to the spa . To their rooms. Sat under an umbrella. Both looked

beautiful. Causing beautiful women to stop by seeking conversation

with them. Both had no interest in mundane carnal things. Being quite

impotent already. What would you expect being trillions of years old?

And even though they both knew each and every thing to know.

They didn’t know about artificial ways to arouse one’s libido.

They were happy at last enjoying each other company. Telling dirty

jokes at each other. As two silly naughty teenagers. They fell asleep

after a few beers. Laying in all their glory semi naked on the beach.

Tourists took pictures at galore. When they came back from their

stupor. Went straight to their rooms to get some sleep.
