Jesus in Arkansas
OK, thanks Mel!! And some of you have seen this already. I had to post it here!!

>ARKANSAS CITY (AP) --
>
>A Little Rock woman was killed yesterday after leaping through her moving car's sunroof during an incident best described as "a mistaken rapture" by dozens of eyewitnesses. Thirteen other people were injured after a twenty-car pile up resulted from people trying to avoid hitting the woman who was apparently convinced that the rapture was occurring when she saw twelve people floating up into the air, and then passed a man on the side
of the road who she claimed was Jesus.
>
"She started screaming "He's back, He's back" and climbed right out of the
sunroof and jumped off the roof of the car," said Everett Williams, husband of 28-year-old Georgann Williams who was pronounced dead at the scene. "I was slowing down but she wouldn't wait till I stopped," Williams said.
>
She thought the rapture was happening and was convinced that Jesus was
gonna lift her up into the sky," he went on to say. "This is the strangest thing I've seen since I've been on the force," said Paul Madison, first officer on the scene.

Madison questioned the man who looked like Jesus and discovered that he was dressed up as Jesus and was on his way to a toga costume party when the tarp covering the bed of his pickup truck came loose and released twelve blow up sex dolls filled with helium which floated up into the air.

>Ernie Jenkins, 32, of Fort Smith, who's been told by several of his friends that he looks like Jesus, pulled over and lifted his arms into the air in frustration, and said , "Come back here," just as the Williams' car passed him, and Mrs. Williams was sure that it was Jesus lifting people up into the sky as they passed by him, according to her husband, who says his wife loved Jesus more than anything else.

When asked for comments about the twelve sex dolls, Jenkins replied "This is all just too weird for me. I never expected anything like this to happen."

1. She died happy.

2. She now knows if her beliefs had any validity. Hope she's still happy.

3. If there is a God, he has a wicked sense of humor.

RE: Jesus in Arkansas
And what about the tornadoes?

I reckon some fool would think he's being "aSSumed" into heaven if a tornado lifted him.

Well, that woman died happy!
Slap-happy
