The humans were busy. They had been for a while and a large structure was taking shape before them.
"What are they doing?" Samandriel asked.
"They are building something." Rachael said as is it was obvious.
"We can see that Rachael, but what are they building?" Anna said. "That is the question Samandriel was asking."
"It is not a shelter." Castiel added. "It is too big."
Inias suddenly appeared. "They intend to build it high enough to reach the heavens!"
"Perhaps we should call on Gabriel for advice. He will know what we should do." Balthazar suggested.
Gabriel looked down at the humans. "Are they building a pile of...dung?!"
"They intend to build a tower into the very heavens. They think to make themselves the equal of our father." Balthazar said.
"It is our job to guide them. If you are going to spend time on Earth then you do your job."
All of the Seraphs gave him a blank look but it was Castiel who spoke. "Brother, we do not understand."
"Humility, Castiel teach them a lesson in humility. Show them that Our Father's throne is far beyond the reach of mere humans." Gabriel ordered.
It was Uriel who stood up and flew down to the town. The humans were startled at the man that appeared before them. Uriel looked at the tower in disgust. Manifesting his blade, Uriel struck a support block in the tower causing it to collapse.
The humans looked at the angel in fear and seeing all of their hard work destroyed they cried out "Why?"
Uriel's response that carried clearly to the hill were the other angels all watched. "You cannot reach the kingdom of my father on a tower of excrement."
The Seraphs all turned toward Gabriel when he snorted. Then Gabriel...giggled and finally the Archangel collapsed to the ground wrapping his wings around himself while he shook with laughter.
Uriel arrived back at the group to find them all looking at their older brother with concern. Gabriel finally managed to get his laughter under control enough to climb to his feet. He clapped a hand on Uriel's shoulder and burst into laughter again. Finally he managed to control himself long enough to stammer. "You can't...get to heaven...on a tower of shit." More laughter. "Uriel that is the funniest thing I have heard in an eon! I have to share this with Lucifer." Gabriel took off his flight just a bit erratic as he continued to chuckle with mirth.
And that was how Uriel became the funniest angel in the garrison.
