I know times are rough, but how bad are they when the Christian savior himself has taken on a nursing job in a Stockholm hospital? Not only that, but the ungrateful bastards he’s working for have asked him to change his name because it was scaring patients:
According to Jesus, an auxiliary nurse at Huddinge hospital, his superiors were worried that patients told “Jesus will be coming soon,” might get the wrong idea.
What? They thought he was having sex or something?
“If they thought that Jesus was coming they might believe that they were already dead,” the nurse told The Local.
OH! Oh, I’m sorry. I totally misunderstood what the problem was. My bad.
Jesus, who will now use his middle name Manuel, said he didn’t have a problem with the change.
“I understand why they wanted me to use my middle name,” he said.
But, he added, “my name never usually causes me problems.”
Hell, I bet it gets him the best seat in the restaurant. He probably makes a killing selling t-shirts that read “JESUS GAVE ME A SPONGE BATH AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS LOUSY T-SHIRT!”
No surpise. If my memory serves me correctly Sweden some years ago decided that urinals in the men’s rooms were sexist and had them removed.
In this case maybe they are being “ethnist”(?) – Jesus in this gentlman’s (Jesus Manuael)spoken tongue is pronounced Haysoos. A little adjustment on their part would have worked . . . . . but nooooo . . .
Funny, but it doesn’t seem to be a problem in those parts of the world where Jesus is a common male first name.
Brock! Been wondering where you’d disappeared to lately. Good to see you’re back.
Thanks, Les. It’s good to BE back.
Surprisingly I’m still wondering where David is…or Mild Bill for that matter.
Ah, the memories. So many people were here that I’d like to see here again…
I just might have to hit the archives.
David dropped enough hints way back when to find him if one really wanted. For that matter, his email address may still be valid.
I would have expected better from the Swedes.
Come to think of it, where has Nunyabiz been? How about Jeffercine? Xxena? Justin? Any others?
