Kasha, I was trying to be GOOD but you just had jog my memory with that 'amen'. Earlier in the week, I PM'd Druss with snippets of conversation that occurred in the booth next to me during lunch. It seems that a traveling evangelist was in town with his 'roadshow'... ...obviously he has never read a REAL bible. If he starts spouting that stuff around me, I'll box his jaws and hold bible school right there... ...a .45 is nice but with a .44 magnum you get respect... That is a couple of many 'pearls of wisdom' that I overheard. I was suffering bigtime. I had my head down to hide tears. I had nearly lost it a few times - once blowing fried rice through my nose as I stifled another laugh. Finally, I had to grab the check and head for the cash register in self-defense. I am standing at the cash register and checking for laughter-suppression damage when the 'head' evangelist stands up and calls for attention. "Do yo all know that you are wearing the mark of the 'Beast' and paying the 'Beast'? You know the barcodes that are on everything that you buy...there is a 666 encode into every barcode. It routes money to the 'Beast' and you are paying him. You need to come out tonight and hear the 'Word'." I lost it. I have to lean on the counter and howl like a banshee. By the time I get my change, I am still laughing like a hyena. I can't even fire off a comment at the now glaring preacher. I walk out the door wiping my eyes and trying to gain some semblance of normality. . . This morning, a co-worker brought me a 'flier' from the 'service'. It seems that the 'Beast' will be a mega-computer system and programmers are the servants of the devil that are 'mid-wiving' it. The 666 in the barcode is direct evidence. There are other 'facts' that prove the point but I won't get in to it now. I wish that I had gone to it now. lee(a minion?)
