The Care facility that CK works at is Religious based.  As in, run by the church.  Not a bad thing, till this happens...

They have been renovating the facility and due to this, a lot of stuff had been changed or moved.  One of the moves was the office Ck and the other nurses use.  Moving residents is one thing, but to ask busy health care providers to move an office, well...that's another.  But they did.

Once the new office was constructed, all the boxes came in and were unpacked and put away.  Going through one of the boxes, Ck's eyes got big, her jaw dropped, and her heart skipped a beat....As I said, this is a church run facility.  And you will find a cross in almost every room (I say almost because I haven't seen their bathrooms...m-a-y-b-e?...).

Anyway, she headed to her boss's office.  Stepping in, she said, "I'm going to Hell."

"Why?"

Bringing her hand out from behind her back, she held out a cross. Jesus' hands had broken free from the cross and he was swaying back and forth by his feet, looking like some drug addled rock fan moshing to the music.  Looking as forlorn and depressed as she could muster, she said, "I broke Jesus."

Her boss almost fell out of her chair trying not to laugh.  "Well, we help the sick and infirm by "laying-on-of-the-hands", as it were.  But we aren't qualified to handle this.  I'll give the cross to one of the resident clergy to handle, and we'll get another one for the office."

That happened a while back.  Recently, during dinner at a restaurant, this story came up again.  And for some reason, I was looked at as the residing expert on all things religious.

"So, is there some kind of ceremony for retiring a broken cross?  Do they put Jesus in a cast and wait for him to heal?  Do they bury it...burn it...toss it in the trash?  Is there some Religious Icon waste disposal unit?"

"Well, I don't know right off hand.  But we can go on-line and look it up."

All eyes were on me at that point.  "Yeah?  Where?"

I'm guessing someplace like "ths.askapostles.hvn"

"WHERE?!"

"You know, "the holy spirit. ask apostles. heaven".

"Oh, right, sure.  An ".hvn" domain.  Get real."

"Why not?  All the religious groups could use it.  That way you know it is a faith based site.  Cuts out the guess work."

"Besides, there is already a provider to handle that domain."

"Yeah?  Who?"

*you are really going to hate me for this one*

*honest, you are*

*ready?"

"Go-Daddy"

Face it.  It makes sense.

I was asked to leave the restaurant at that point.

Faith happens.  *and Jesus moshes* *and the title makes sense*
