Your Own Personal Cheesus

Looks like Frito-Lay is get­ting into the God Game.  A cou­ple from my home state of Texas, found a one-armed two-inch pray­ing Jesus in a bag of Chee­tos pur­chased at a gas station.

Yes, it’s the tra­di­tional Sec­ond Com­ing story, just as you remem­ber it.

Sarah Bell was eat­ing the Chee­tos out of her hand and she had already eaten most of the dis­ci­ples when she dis­cov­ered Him.  “It is a reminder of our bless­ings from God, but pri­mar­ily I think it’s a funny Cheeto,” says Mrs. Bell.

She adds that her first reac­tion was, “Let’s put this on eBay.”

Of course!  Look!  A reminder of our bless­ings from God!…  how much do you think we can get for it?

“Thing is,” says Mr. Bell, “If it’s only 25 cents, we’re prob­a­bly just gonna eat it.”

The arti­fi­cial cheese-flavored body of Christ.

See for yourself…

This is not the first appear­ance of Jesus in a bag of Chee­tos.  Check the side­bar on YouTube.  For instance, CBS reported a Cheesus on the Cross last year.

The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Yarmulke

I’m a Jew from Texas – a rel­a­tively rare breed, we can’t even prop­a­gate in the wild.

So, before my migra­tion to North­ern Cal­i­for­nia – which is counter to the east­ward migra­tory pat­tern char­ac­ter­is­tic of my kind – a migra­tion which, over time, deposits us in the Sun­shine State like cal­cium car­bon­ate on a sta­lag­mite – I had the oppor­tu­nity to make soci­o­log­i­cal and psy­cho­log­i­cal obser­va­tions of an uncom­mon species.

I hope to some­day pub­lish my find­ings and share with the world these curi­ous and fan­tas­tic tales.

The work­ing title of my book is The Man Who Mis­took His Wife For a Yarmulke.
