Michael has wings like an angel, but the resemblance ends there. Michael loves cigarettes, sugar, has an uncontrollable belly laugh, tends to use a large number of nonangelic phrases, does not care much for personal hygiene, and smells like cookies. Michael informs his visitors that an angel is allowed to take a certain number of vacations on Earth and that he is in the midst of one now. However, this is the last vacation he is allowed, and he has decided to make the most of it. ........
