Red face Freaky

I was sitting at lunch today, and I picked up this flier, that was advertising a lecture to be given on "Interfaith Cooperation" and peace between the various major religions. My thoughts kinda trailed off on that general topic, and I invariably thought of 9/11, and from there the silly cross popped into my mind. You know, the one that was supposedly formed by two beams from the two towers falling together. Anyways, I had just thought something along the lines of "Eesh, the things people will believe," when I, without looking at my plate, picked up a french fry. I nearly fell out of my chair when I looked down at the fry and saw that it was actually one larger fry with a medium-sized fry impaled through the middle of it, forming a somewhat lopsided cross. Talk about really freaky coincidences...

I assume you got down on your knees, assumed the prayer stance and mumbled the usual oh thank you jesus for showing me your presence via this humble french fry...blah...blah..blah . You must give credit where credit is due!

Be careful not to misinterpret that. It's actually a fragment of the Star of David. Or was it the Raelian star?

The MASONS!

I get a ckick out of the fact that people freak out when they see such things.. people are desperately searching for ANYTHING to praise..lol, weather it be a cloud that looks like god, or a frenchfry that took shape of a cross..lol I once saw an ice cream sunday that looked like a clown.. does that mean I should be happy because i was visited by a clown spirit? :notworthy

Well, it is obviously a sign from God (praise His holy name!). Thank you so much for sharing that with all of us. As a result, I have seen the error of my ways, and will devote the remainder of my life to God. Hallelujah! God be praised!

Ahem. Don't you mean "this humble freedom fry"? You wouldn't want to offend Jebus by mentioning the name of the country that wouldn't give their blessing to God's Chosen People's war.
