[ WP ] A new god is born , and he promises you his support in exchange for you making his religion known .

`` Okay. Okay. This is a little hard to swallow.'' 
 
 The man seems annoyed more than anything else. `` You *just* watched diseased beetroots fall from the sky while I rapped. What more do you want?'' He makes a crude gesture and, ten feet away, a pigeon finds itself on its back. 
 
 `` It's just… a god of terrible puns? Really? And besides, why would you only come into existance *now? * Puns are old. Bad puns are old.'' 
 
 `` Oh, I'm not the first pun-god – and, if you do n't help me, I wo n't be the last. An un-worshipped god dies. A god that was never worshipped simply ceases to exist. And the last couple millennia have been… unkind to newborn gods.'' He twitches a little as he says that. 
 
 `` So. What's in it for me? I'm not totally clear what benefits supporting a pun-god could possibly have.'' 
 
 `` Oh, plenty, I assure you. Imagine if you could never be caught off-guard in conversations. Always have a quick retort ready. Even if you're losing an argument, the ability to lose with style and panache. You humans are so scared of embarrassment, I'm surprised my predecessors did n't stick around.'' 
 
 `` This is a terrible idea, but… fine. I'll try to drum up some worship for you.'' Wordlessly, my new deity hands me a bongo.
