A Hilarious Crucifix |
Hi Gang,
I picked up my wife's ashes today, and while waiting for the paperwork
to be sorted looked at the only entertainment the place offered: a
sample DVD of their perpetual memorial service. It was for some woman
who died a couple of years ago, and featured as an opening emblem a
crucifix.
Jesus was on it, naturally, (Baltimore is a very catholic city), and
apparently still alive, for his arms, instead of being securely tacked
to the crossbeam, were both raised in blessing. Now I ask you, what
would happen next?
He would swing forward in a tethered swan dive, if gravity and physics
are anything to go by, and come to rest upside down, nose to wood.
On such sad days as this, I appreciate a little divine levity.

Don't forget to tangle his legs in his robe and, when
they get free have the robe blow over his head.

My condolences. I was listening to the Harry Nilsson song "Remember"
earlier today. It's a song I find to be very moving. Particularly
the line
Remember, life is just a memory.
