He walks amongst us

So things are going quite well at work for me at the momement.
Im working my contracted hours nothing more, the store is looking better every week, and we are doing very well with our tillpoint selling, (see previous post), and actually having fun while doing it.
That is until friday just gone.
We have a very busy morning, in which I have lots of people screaming at me because a newspaper has failed to deliver the free DVD's which it is offering, (this is a subject for another time which I will discuss, at lenth, but let me say now it says subject to availability and as they were not delivered they are obviously not available).
So my shop is looking a little frayed around the edges.
Now nobody ever comes to see me when everything is normal, people only ever come to see me when all hell breaks loose, so at this point a neighbouring store manager enters the shop...
Just as some looney lays himself down in the middle of my shop floor and starts ranting and raving at the top of his voice about god.
Apparently 'god is the only god', 'I dont want to be selling other books but the bible as it is the only book', by the way I forgot to mention he had picked up a selection of my bibles, was rifleing through the pages, licking them, kissing them and biting them.
Anyway back to the ranting ' he was an alcoholic and god spoke to him and saved him', 'but god had not been speaking to him lately', 'where had god gone', 'It was all lies all other books were lies'and of course, ' none of us understood about god'.
Well 8 security guards and 2 police officers later we manage to persuade him to leave the store, surprisingly by suggesting he go outside for a ciggerette, because while ranting and raving in a shop is perfectly acceptable behaviour smoking in a shop is not), I finaly turn to my colleage and said, 'well just a normal day in chavham.'
