But seriously…I was _wondering_ where he’d gotten off to.

My husband made me add the “z z Z Z” part so that it wouldn’t look like the mouldering corpse of Christ was back there. Heh.

Last time he was in the refridgerator next to the remote and a really old bowl of green beans.

Damn! I looked between the cushions and everything, but I never thought he could fit back there.

Ya know, the last time I found Jesus, he was eating the last of my chocolate chip cookies (more than a dozen, and big ones), and drinking milk right from the carton! Maybe he hid behind your couch because he had a stomach ache. That’s what my dog does when she eats too much.

Now that you’ve found him, what are you going to do with him?

I say put him in a barcalounger for the next 2000 years and see what happens. Give him the remote, some popcorn and then start a pool on which show he becomes hooked on. I vote the “Simpsons” but am leaning toward “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”.

I can see Jesus as a **Jeopardy** lover. And he might like the medical shows–you know, professional interest, seeing how somebody else heals people. And I know he’d be a Letterman fan, not Leno, not in a million years. Jesus has class.

I see him kicking back with a bag of Cheetos and watching Cartoon Network, myself.

This reminds me of an Easter egg hunt 20 years ago. Although that poor chicken embryo was a mouldering corpse.

(We had farm fresh chickens from a neighbor down the road, not the sterile store kind.)

I found him under my bed. He was trying to find my Star Wars Insider Back Issues.

I remember that and you said, “Jesus Christ, who ate my cookies and drank my milk!”

Humm, and I always thought it was a question. Now I find out it was a statement of fact.

Once I found Jesus under the fridge. Took me forever to clean the fuzz out of his beard, hair, robes…
