A bar opened near a church. The church prayed daily against the business. Days later the bar was struck by lightning and burned to ashes. Bar owner sued the church's priests because he said the fire was the result of their prayers. The church denies all responsibilities.
So the judge commented : "It is difficult to decide the case because here we have a bar owner who believes in the power of prayer and an entire church that doesn't believe in it."

Not to get political, but...
Throughout history the church seldom practiced what it preached 
It's an OO world.
public class SanderRossel : Lazy<Person>
{
public void DoWork()
{
throw new NotSupportedException();
}
}

Yeah, but the church is supposed to be better than that

Watch a copy of this: The Man Who Sued God[^]
A lawyers boat is destroyed by lightning, and the insurance won;t pay up because it is "an act of God"...so he sues teh Church for the money.
Not the best movie in the world, but it's a good premise!

Do they have a Lumia version?! For better toughness, you see!

They did consider a Blackberry version, so that if trapped in the field with no rations you could eat it, but then realized that in Switzerland you are never more than three feet from a bar of chocolate and a lump of Gruyère...

Possibly - but I don't remember any bars on the Geneva busses.
And anyway: this is Switzerland! You can't afford to buy anything the bar sells unless you live there!
Beer is what these days - £6 ~ £7 a 1/2 litre (around CHF 10)?

Where did you go?
I haven't seen any bar that sells beer above 5.50 CHF (£ 3.6) a glass (the local ones here are all selling it for 4.50 CHF, ~ £3).
Okay, maybe there are some that might do sell it for more, but it's an indicator you should leave and find a better one.

Geneva is expensive, but I bet that the price on the website is wrong, or at least only applicable to the bars where the people of the FIFA and the UNO go, places which I'd avoid anyways.

Thats cheap! I could easily find bars that would charge 9£ for a 0,5l beer...6-7£ I would assume is average. Proof[^]

Yeah! I can imagine Marco goes to the army doctor with his ear in his hand - 'Just answered my phone...  '
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

I just replaced my Samsung Galaxy with a Nokia 110[^], at least I can still make the most important phone calls once I get a quiet minute.

Seems to be a Boy Scout knife -- should have a flint-and-steel app, compass app, etc.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.
