I met Jesus at breakfast this morning.
In that greasy spoon, across from the
Medical Center downtown.
Introduced himself to me.
Even threw a quick blessing my way.
After I passed him the ketchup he asked for.
Yeah, I thought it funny at first.
Him looking as he did.
Short blond hair no beard, handlebar mustache,
a distinct South Brooklyn draw.
But, I wasn't about to anger him.
Asking for picture I.D.
So I asked him to, thank his old man
Next time he ran into him for me.
Tell Him the guy you just gave the double hernia to,
sends his regards
He'll know who you mean .
He's been fuckin with me for years now
Over something I did
Though for the love of me,
I can't remember what.

Funny as Hell (no pun intended) and the last two lines sent me into gales of laughter. He get credit for all of life's good things, let him take the blame for all thos damned annoyances too!

This is quite witty and I shall applaud it. It never occurred to me that Jesus is responsible for hernias, but you are quite right, they are down to him.
