And lo, the centurion did doubt the King of Kings, and laid invectives and calumny upon him, saying unto his followers, Go ye back to your farms and shops, return unto your families, for it is a false prophet you follow, and a spreader of deceit and sedition.
And Jesus was brought before the centurion, and was made to kneel in the dust of the earth.
Then said the centurion unto him, Are you the son of God?
And the Lord answereth him, and saith, Verily, I am the son of man. And he stood up, and laid his hand upon the centurion's ear, wherefrom he tooketh a penny. This he repeated thrice.
And the centurion's guards did back away, for a great fear rose up in their breasts when they witnessed this. And Jesus did clear a space amongst them.
Whereupon did Jesus part his lips and expel the end of a scarlet ribband, which he grasped between his thumb and index finger. And the centurion was heard to remark, Observe! He pulleth at the ribband and it cometh and cometh, yay, without end!

09/21/2005Ewan Snow (4): Even though this is a really dumb joke, and even though it goes through a great deal of effort to make it, I have to say I like this one. If the site supported half stars, I'd probably give this a 3.5, but considering there is no such feature, I guess I'll drop a 4 on this fucker.
09/21/2005Jon Matza: This is about Disney, right?

09/21/2005Litcube (5): Aa ha ha! The most unique short of this quarter.
09/21/2005Dylan Danko (4.5): I agree with Snow. I imagine Woody Allen in the part of Christ mincing about like he does in Love and Death. But I laughed.
09/22/2005Dick Vomit: Unique is an unmodifiable adjective.
09/22/2005Mr. Pony: Then what good is it?

03/4/2011Jon Matza: Hey Pony- why don't you marry it?
