Ragmop carries a bag of heads into the manger

Fritz Hamilton

    Ragmop carries a bag of heads into the manger & finds Jesoo all grown up, with a yellow beard down to his bellybutton.
    “I’m glad to see U’ve outgrown yr little bed, Jesoo. U might consider shaving yr yellow beard. They could make another shroud of Turin, but a yellow one.”
    “Good to see U, Ragmop. The last time U were carrying a bag of nails.”
    “& U the cross.”
    “Saladin arrived just in time before they crucified me. They were actually going to nail my hands & feet to that silly cross & leave me there in the hot sun. Saladin lifted me onto the back of my horse & spirited me away. I became a small time businessman in India, selling India ink for a ridiculous price, gouging the muslims. They damn near put me in the coliseum with the lions.”
    “In India?”
    “Where there’s a will, there’s a way.”
    “So U became a sleazy capitalist.”
    “Is there another kind of capitalist?”
    “That’s a long way from ‘Love thy neighbor like thyself’.”
    “Well, I had to grow up someday.”
    “They started a cult around yr name. They call it Christianity.”
    “Tell them to watch their back.”
