Jesus Found in Sheet Metal (and then obviously sold).

Matthew 24:29-34
[T]he sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken. . . . They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory. . . . I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.
Woody 24:13-30
And you shall know the time of his coming, for he shall be seen in all manner of dubious ebay scams.
You find an oil stain on a sheetmetal sheet and, even though it bears more of a passing resemblance to Rocky after he’d just had seven bells of poop knocked out of him, you claim it’s Jesus then flog it on ebay for a mere $1,575.00
As Thomas Haley, the guy who found the sheet in the hardware store that he works at says, “I feel kind of bad just pawning off Christ.”
Hmmmmm, I wonder if he feels any worse now it’s been sold or that it didn’t quite make its buy-it-now price of $10,000.
Anyway, if you just so happen to be one of those goons that like to find the image of Christ in anything from a cheeseburger to a pus-filled goiter, and would love to spend over a grand on very own lump of sheet metal with some bizarre stain on it that you believe is Jesus, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
We can churn these buggers out ten a penny.
We can also do Allah, Vishnu, Buddha, most Disney characters and every American president bar Gerald Ford.

When I used to read Viz, they ran a piece on on a guy called Hugo Guthrie, who was a guy at Tipton council responsible for tourism. Amongst his various PR releases including the discovery of “Nessie” hiding in the Tipton cut, was the finding in the town of a pair of underpants that had a stain that resembled Christ!
Wonder what they would fetch on e-bay?
An absolute freakin’ fortune.
Now there’s an online business opportunity.
