SAGAL: It's simpler that way. Paula Poundstone?
PAULA POUNDSTONE: Rick Perry will finally get through to God about the rain but forget to stipulate how much and the world will flood.

Well, if we're around to see any of that happen, panel, we'll ask you about it next year on WAIT WAIT...DON'T TELL ME!
