Hundreds Flock to View Image of Jesus in Vomit Puddle
Hundreds
of faithful Christians have lined up around the block of a bar in Long
Beach, California to pray before an image in a puddle of vomit they believe
represents Jesus Christ.
The image in question was first noticed by its "vessel" Jeremy
Baskin after emerging from the back entrance of the Stumble Inn and throwing
up near the side of the building.
"I'd gotten pretty sloshed with a couple of buddies of mine when
the next thing I knew I was stumbling out the back door and totally spewing
all over the place. I tried to get most of it in the storm drain, but
I'd had Taco Bell earlier and drank probably two pitchers of beer and
three shots of Jagermeister, so there was a shitload," recounted
Baskin.
Baskin continued, "Anyway, as I was leaning against the wall clearing
my sinuses of partially digested nachos and beer, I looked down and was
like, 'shit man, my puke looks kinda like Jesus.'"
Shortly after alerting his friends of his discovery and dissuading them
from urinating on the Savior's face, a small crowd of curious on-lookers
began to form that has since bourgeoned into the hundreds as word spread
and believers began to flock to the site to worship the visage of their
messiah.
"I'm skeptical of such things. Until I see with my own eyes I don't
believe," commented one woman who came to see what is being touted
as a divine miracle, "But when I saw the puddle, I knew. An incredible
calm came over me as I looked at Jesus in the barf on the ground and I
instinctively fell to my knees."
Reportedly, some pilgrims have travelled long distances to see the face
of Christ, as far as 2,500 miles in one case of a man hoping the puddle
of vomit might heal his terminal cancer.
"I have cancer in my pancreas, so I came to Jesus for healing. I
didn't want to be disrespectful of Him, so I picked a piece of the sick
that wasn't part of his face to eat, and today I feel much better,"
said Javier Nesco of Miami, Florida.
Unfortunately all those who've come haven't been quite so considerate,
as Jesus's nose and part of his beard were damaged this morning when a
man smeared part of Christ's likeness onto his head in an attempt to cure
his male pattern baldness.
Those interested in seeing what's left of the image of Christ in the
puddle of vomit can visit the alley behind the Stumble Inn at 1560 4th
Street in Long Beach. However, parties should be advised that there is
a 70% chance of rain Saturday.
