I never thought I’d ever post a picture of a dog’s arse on this blog. I mean, don’t get me wrong: I don’t go around looking for such opportunities. In fact, the thought of a dog’s arse doesn’t even occur to me more than fourteen times a day.
Anyway, look carefully, and you’ll see – ta-da! – our Lord Jesus Christ!
I nicked it from this website, which has several of the funniest places Jesus has been found, be it dogs’ arses or chapattis.
Of course, you can make sense of all kinds of random markings, as anyone who’s ever gazed at clouds will tell you. Some are more recognisably this or that than others, and some are vague enough for different people to see different things.
But it never ceases to amaze me how people claim to have seen Jesus or the Virgin Mary in a toasty or the inside of a Marmite jar lid, having no idea, of course, what the originals looked like (even if they existed).
