Vaguely Disturbing Yet Very Amusing

[cbtreks]

We had our Avon Christmas party tonight. Yummy Polish buffet (chicken, sausage, mashed potatoes, noodles, gravy, sauerkraut, green beans, rolls - it's a staple around here - and if you're an old hand at it, you put the noodles on top of the potatoes and the gravy on top of that), a local high school swing choir - they were very good - some games and presents and door prizes. It was held in the community room of a local church, presumably where they hold Sunday School and other such things. At the side of the room was a cross standing on a table and propped up against the cross was a picture of Jesus, rather an old fashioned one. Because of the way people were seated, I could mostly only see the picture from the nose up. It kept looking familiar to me (which stands to reason since most pictures of Jesus done in that style look similar) and it finally occurred to me that from the nose up, He looked a lot like Elvis. At least it wasn't on black velvet!

(Actually, it occurred to me later in the evening that the hairline was much more Nicholas Cage. The picture appeared old enough though, that Nicholas Cage would have to be a coincidence but the artist could easily have used a photo of Elvis as a guideline.)
