Incongruous Sights

One day I was riding the bus in Jerusalem, and I saw a guy riding a camel, dressed in full “Middle East tourist attraction” garb (pretty much the only reason you’ll see a camel in Jerusalem), chatting on a cell phone.

Unfortunately, I did not have my camera on me.

Leaving an Elvis Costello concert, we got behind a car with vanity plates that said Elvis 4EV. We thought this was so cool, then got up close and saw a bumpersticker with Graceland, Tenn Home of the King. Did that ever make us do a double take.

Just this morning driving to work, I passed a hotel that has a big Christmas tree on their roof… topped with a Star of David. Weird.

Our Christmas tree has a Star of David on top. There’s a perfectly logical reason, too.

I went to a Jewish preschool, despite the fact that I’m not Jewish. One day, around Chanukkah, we made Stars of David out of tongue depressors and glitter. I brought mine home, my mom put it on top of the tree, and it’s been there ever since.

My dad says he hopes we won’t go to hell for doing that.

I believe GF is talking about West Chester… Am I right? :slight_smile:

I live next door to a Catholic girls’ school, and I have to pass their driveway every day on my way to work, so I’m used to seeing nuns driving (I keep thinking they should put up a sign, “Nun Crossing”). But I was still a little taken aback when I saw a nun backing her car out of the driveway while talking on a cell phone.

Homeless beggars on American streets.

Merry Christmas, and keep voting GOP

Near my home there is a tiny strip shopping center that contains only two stores. One of the stores is a doll and teddy bear store. The other store is a gun and ammunition store. What a combination!

Two more come to mind.

A guest opened up one of my Bibles and a Playboy centerfold fell out. It was for an old art project I was working on.

The other night on VH1, I saw Kip Winger talking about heavy metal.
