    Okay, I couldn’t even make out where his face was. I had to stare at it for a long time. Some of the other ones in the shop are almost cute, but I’m not sure why Jesus needs to be impaled on a cross. Sad.

    I’m somehow seeing Jesus leaning back with his arms behind his head.

    Which, for some odd reason I can’t explain for the life of me, makes me think he’s currently on the receiving end of some unholy attention.
