The day the Church went berserk

(Note: this posting takes some dramatic license with the facts of what is mostly a true story. But I did confirm it with three sources: me , myself, and I.)

Back in high school, one fine summer day after services, at the First Self-Righteous Church in that Sleepy Little Town of Pascagoula, I was talking to my friend's mom in the foyer when a large spider rappelled down the wall beside us. I reflexively whacked it with what I had in my hand, which was a brown-leather New International Version Bible I'd been given when I was baptized.

My friend's mom looked somewhat disapproving. "It was a Brown Recluse!" I extemporized. "I had to kill it!"

"But with a Bible?" she asked. And then she killed me, and the congregation stuck my head way on top of the steeple as a warning. I sure learned my lesson!

2 You used the Word of God??? The spider had to be taken out somehow. I'm one of those Star Wars freaks. We saw it on Friday, the 13th at a premiere. It was grrreat! I posted a picture on my blog, but then again you don't care. Visit my blog for a good, hearty laugh.

3 Oh no, Sparky, I should have known that posting this story would cause riots and murder! Darn!

4 Nope, that part's a line from a Ray Stevens song, the "Mississippi Squirrel Revival". I was at the time of this story living in Oklahoma. Never been to Mississippi.

5 Paskakola rofl. That spider felt the power of Lord smite him down, so he probably went straight to bug heaven, where he bites people for all eternity.
