God and the paparazzi
A friend's friend of mine told this story when us invisibles where waiting for the football match to start. There was this young paparazzi who unfortunately was not doing so well in his career. He did not want to stay invisible instead he wanted to been seen. So after many months thinking he hit on the idea that he would take a photo that nobody had ever took.He would photograph God himself.So he set about looking for God.He asked people,scholars and clergy,but they all laughed him off and told him to forget it and find another subject to shoot.He went into churches hoping to catch a glimpse of the almighty. He travelled to the holy places around the world, finally going to the Vatican. And it was there that the trouble started.Every day he waited to ask the pope to help him photograph God, but he was never given permission to speak to the pope.One day he was arrested because of his insistence and when the police heard his story they laughed at him and threatened to put him in the mental hospital if he did not stop pestering the Vatican officials.He was escorted to the airport and sent back home.He stills carries his camera with him,but his ambition has died,he have renounced his faith and became an ex, a once catholic living poorly and staying invisible.
