Okay, it didn't happen to me, but a kid in my son's Sunday School class did this.

They were having a gift exchange and this kid went out and bought a picture of Jesus. Then he signed it and put it into a cheap Dollar store frame and gave it away.

The thing is...he didn't sign it with his name, he signed it "Have a blessed new year, Jesus" as if it was an autographed picture.

The person who received it was excited at first to get an autographed picture of Jesus, but "got it" after about ten seconds.

The Sunday School teacher thought that this was offensive and called in the Bishop and the boy's parents. The Bishop was normal enough to find it amusing, though the boy's mother was horrified and embarrassed.

I think that this has to be one of the most clever tricks ever.

I'm going to use it myself in the future.

Ingenious kid!

Reminds me of what I tell the clerks when buying lottery tickets: 'I got a better chance of meeting Jesus than winning any prize. Even if I were to win....I would still meet Jesus after having a shocking heart attack'.

Please send me one of those 'autographed' pictures. Maybe that will take the hex off of me. Beats calling in the Top-Hatted Midget He-Be-Gee-Bee Man from Haiti to ward off evil spirits.

Funny story, thanks for sharing it,

Jim

The Bish should have sacked her!
