My Roman-Catholic-to-Islam convert coworker attributed to a jinn the loss of her pen at our shared desk. She was learning Arabic and doing Koran studies, so either she didn’t get to the part where the imam explains the precise mystical plane where they inhabit yet, or they do indeed manifest in this realm.

Also, she gave me sh!t because I put a sticker with an animal face on her monitor.

Oh, and let’s thank Franci for that *really* informative warning.

After-death threats are ignorable to atheists and skeptics, didjaknow? But thanks anyway for playing! Your consolation prize will be a home version of this gameshow and a year’s supply of Rice-A-Roni: the San Francisco Treat™!

Just like to point out that lost cutlery is probably down to Anoia, Goddess of Things That Stick in Drawers. She also eats corkscrews, which I’d think probably extends to all ‘lost’ small items and other small annoyances….

Djinns ain’t spirits or angels or things like that in Islam, they are just creatures on another.. uhm.. plane is the word i suppose.. or dimension..

*Gasp!* Thanks for the warning, Franci! I have seen the light now! I’ve never had it explained to me so clearly!

(Yes, that is sarcasm)

Dear Friends,
All will be clear to you with in moments of your Death. So have fun now and cry in Agony for all eternity.
HellFire is not RED or Orange or Yellow as Hollywood depicts but it is completely BLACK.
You can’t see anything and in that Darkness and Extreme Heat will begin your Journey towards increasing degrees of PAIN.
Good Luck to you all.
Where you are heading even Lady Luck herself can’t save you.
Bye

The bar maid must have a jinni bouncer to keep the ifrit-raff out.
Either that or J&Mo are missing out on the chance to call her on asserting absolute knowledge.

@ MrGronk:

That word would be a great pun for the next episode.

mmm, every time you hear a religious nut starts to make sense, and tries to sound like his believes are oh so reasonable, ask him if he believes in angels/jhinns

it’s hilarious.

If they’re hiding in a pub, they could be jinn-and-tonics …

OK, somebody had to say it
