"Thank you for calling Record Town, this is Matt speaking, how may I help you today?"
"Matt! You are NOT going to believe this..."
"Uh-huhhhh?"
"I'm going to be about fifteen minutes late for work, because..."
"Uh-huhhh..."
"Because four hundred enraptured religious freaks just paraded down my street carrying signs and screaming 'PRAISE JESUS!' in the name of... heh heh... Jesus Day 2K."
"Ah-huh..."
"...And so, since they didn't have traffic blocked off, I tend to think the bus didn't even come at all, so I'm gonna catch the next one and be about fifteen minutes late..."
"Okay, just get here when you can..."
"Matt! I swear to GAHD I am not lying!!! I took pictures!!! They gave me a carnation! And pamphlets! Praise Jesus!"
He chuckles and says he'll see me later. I hang up and chuckle even though I don't think he believes me about the Jesus people, or Jesus-Day-2K. I wish he could have seen it. Jesus people love atheists.
Seriously, I thought I had seen it ALL in Binghamton. I honestly thought it didn't get any weirder. But I think this just tops the cake: a procession of four hundred people charging down Main Street, Binghamton chanting "praise Jesus" at 10 AM on a Saturday morning?
Ah well. Happy Jesus-Day-2K.
HEEEEE!!!!!
