That Fun-Loving Scamp, Jesus

[bjarvis]

Old joke:
"Have you found Jesus?"
"Yup! He was hiding behind the couch the whole time!"

Nearly identical:
"You heard they cancelled Easter? Turned out Jesus was hiding behind the couch the whole time."

While helping allanh clean up his mom's (& her boyfriend's) apartment, we were hanging enough pictures to put the Louvre to shame. The boyfriend had one particular picture which absolutely needed to be hung somewhere: all others were expendible, but not his picture of Jesus.

Naturally, it was the one picture we couldn't find for the longest time. We searched stacks of pictures, looked around various boxes, checked the kitchen and bathroom but found nothing. This is effectively a bachelor apartment: there aren't that many places to hid a picture.

We did eventually find Jesus when we moved furniture to hang a large nautical picture. Sure enough, Jesus was hiding behind the couch the whole time.

Two thousand plus years, and he's still doing the same schtick.

I'm still trying to decide if Mom placed Jesus there to hide him from Two Bears, or if Two Bears placed Jesus on top of the couch, and then the picture simply fell behind.

Some things aren't worth thinking about too hard. This is at least two of 'em.

(And thank you again, by the way!)

Jesus looks high.

The really disturbing part is how his eyes follow you as you cross the room.

Jesus makes my mother wish she were high. She absolutely despises the painting.

I told her (and keep telling her) that if she gets to hang a picture of three nude ladies over their bed (which Two Bears is mildly offended by), then he gets to hang a picture of Creepy Drugged Out Jesus.

It's the eyes. His pupils are weirdly dilated.
