Your Own Personal Cheesus
May 28th, 2009
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.

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
August 2nd, 2008
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.
