Driving on the Van Wyck the other day, I was drafting a giant tractor-trailer, and on its rear in big letters was the company name, followed by the phrase “A Mighty Servant That Never Sleeps”.

Blasphemously cute. I remember the Beatles “We’re more popular than Jesus Christ”, but that was an observation on the strange nature of the world rather than a motto or a claim. See www.youtube.com…

“A Mighty Sleeper That Never Serves”. I sometimes have that feeling when I’m waiting to ask for help at Staples.
