God and Satan visit earth. Weird! Not quite Doug Adams, but this farce would make Tom Robbins proud to have authored it. When God (Old Man) and the Devil materialize naively in the USA to find out what is happening they immediately run afoul of the FBI for counterfeiting. They escape, of course, then their travels take them bumbling around the world. This is witty: no belly laughs (lol) but psychological chuckles galore.
