A Special Treat
Little did I know that a tongue in cheek comment from me on the post: Pyro-Pontiffs, would lead to this wonderful piece posted by Big John on October 13, 2012.
Now sit back and enjoy!
Vatican secrets revealed !
I had to laugh at Grannymar’s comment on my previous post about the Vatican’s secret documents … “Do you think it was the bill for the Last Supper?”, as I can just imagine the disciples arguing over who ate the most gefilte fish and who had more than their fair share of the chicken soup and matzoh balls !
Rumour has it that amongst the other documents to be burned on the Pope’s orders are …
- The pawn ticket for the ‘Holy Grail’.
- The result of the Virgin Mary’s paternity lawsuit.
- A receipt from a Bethlehem hotel for an en-suite double room with a crib for the night of 24th December 1 BC.
- A ‘congratulations on the birth’ card from Herod Antipas and Salome.
- Lazarus’s death certificate.
- A copy of an order to a Galilee fish shop for cod and chips x 5,000.
- A letter to an inn keeper in Cana complaining about the quality of the wine at a recent wedding.
- A note from someone who signed himself ..”Your faithful friend J.I. xxx”.. to an unnamed resident of Nasereth telling him not to trust a creep named Simon who calls himself ‘Peter’.
- A letter from Mary Magdalene telling a friend that she was giving up the day job as she was pregnant and about to marry some carpenter who fancied himself as a bit of a preacher.
- Pontius Pilate’s report to the Emperor Tiberius that only one person had been crucified recently, a bandit named Barabbas, because some long haired Jewish hippy had sold all the spare timber and nails at a Passover ‘closing down sale’.
I feel that the bill for the last supper must be genuine because although it says at the bottom of the page .. “service not included” .. some waiter has noted …
“Large tip from a bloke named Judas” !

Goodness, such blasphemy is utterly shocking. I shall have to seek advice from my vicar on how to deal with this irreligious outburst.

WWW - It had that effect on me too.
Brighid - I hope your friend enjoys it!
Nick - Do you think we will be excommunicated?

Judy - I thought you would see the funny side!
Rohit - welcome back among us. I have visited your blog many times over the last year, on the off chance you had posted something and it didn’t go to my RSS feed. I look forward to your rejoining the LBC Group.
Baino - Indeed!
Big John - Thank you for the link. Maybe when I get around to updating my old blog, linking will be easier.

@ Big John: Thanks for sharing the link. Very interesting piece.
@ Grannymar: Its really good to know you were hoping for me to return. I wanted to blog many times but several things (read procrastination) prevented me from doing it.

Rohit - I know that if I once stopped blogging, I would find it hard to start again.
