Jesus’s mortgage advisor was
dead chuffed with himself.
“We’re almost there now, sir,” he smiled.
“Just a few I’s left to dot and T’s to cross…”
An awkward silence hung in the air
as the mortgage advisor
squirmed in his chair.

Jesus laughed.
“OK, Tony,” he said.
“And then I can finally stop being a thorn in your side!”

The pair chuckled and clinked their coffees
before Jesus finished his tuna sandwich.
