Mel Brooks was pretending to be a two thousand year old man, and he said back in the caveman days everybody worshiped Phil, cuz he was the biggest guy in the caves. He’d stand outside a lot and announce to everybody that he was God and since he was so big no one ever questioned him. They’d worship him and do whatever he asked. Then one day it was raining and everybody ran into the caves and they looked back and Phil was still standing out there in the rain. They called to Phil and begged him to get out of the rain and Phil stood there proud and insisted he wasn’t afraid cuz he was God. Then lightning struck him dead and that’s when the two thousand year old man realized “there’s someone bigger than Phil.”

There’s always somebody bigger. Jacob and Blackie may seem to be powerful, but they too have someone to whom they answer. They too have rules in their little game to which they must comply. They have to find ‘loopholes’ to bend those rules, and if they fail to comply as they should, there is an arbiter of some sort. There’s always someone bigger.
