Moment of humor: Jesus loses finger and thumb in hurricane

[jobycom]

Try to forgive me for finding humor in this. I'm scared silly for my family and quite a few friends right now, and this little self-amusement helps a bit. It also gives important information on one of my favorite spots in the world.

"On historic Jackson Square in the French Quarter, two huge oak trees toppled outside the 278-year-old St. Louis Cathedral. They fell on either side of a marble statue of Jesus Christ, snapping off just a thumb and forefinger on his outstretched hand. -- Associated Press"

Note: I posted this in a thread, then vainly gave it a thread of its own. My ego knows no bonds. Sorry.

5. Thank goodness nothing happened to the ring and little finger!

That would look quite unbecoming!

7. It would be his message to George W! nt/

8. It's a sign! Jesus wants all Xtians to cut off their thumb & forefinger,

preferrably by smashing them in an oak drawer!

5-fingered people are going to hell!

9. St. Joseph the Conehead

A local church has a statue of St. Joseph out front. Every winter St. Joseph gets his head capped with a "cone" of snow. He looks like a character from Saturday Nite Live. Baby Jesus does not become a conehead in the winter.
