I would pay good money for a set of three with Jesus, the Virgin Mary, and, uh, uh, (I really have no idea what a good third one would be), Elvis. Yeah, that’s it. Elvis. Or maybe one toaster with switchable elements.

We can meet for euchre every Wednesday in hell. Sorry, but a good fish taco _isn’t_ malodorous and, in fact, it’s odor can only be properly described as “divine” or “heavenly.” 😃 **WhyNot** , I wanna see pictures! ---

Of course it’s the Virgin Mary, the cheese sandwich was pan fried with 100% Virgin olive oil. Now fetch me the miracle whip (what? no, I’m not going to eat it, I was planning on continuing my fast and flogging myself). ---
