Picking up Jesus

A friend of mine started driving for Uber this week. He already has many interesting stories, but this morning the app told him to drive across the river (Jordan? Probably not) and pick up Jesus. That is interesting enough, but as always, my friend talked to his fare and found out that this particular Jesus, rather than working in the construction trades, repairs shoes.

I guess you could say he saves soles.

Or not...

The 9th circle of pun hell.

I'm convinced there's a sadistic streak in dedicated punsters.

Good with the vamps too!

And willing to share and bless lunch I'd bet. The thing about Jesus that ends up stuck in the literal and missed, is how the mystery of the lunch miracle that expanded 6 loaves and 2 fish to feed thousands is still with us today. The miracle continues to happen, as one post, one Shakespeare play, one book, or one story/pun of an uber ride expands to invite a small multitude of people into an experience of overflow.
