Cheese-us Christ, Mary!


Will's reference in a previous comment to the TV show Inked got me to thinking about an episode of Miami Ink I saw recently. A Florida woman was in the shop, getting a tattoo of the grilled cheese sandwich she made that she swears contains an image of the Virgin Mary. I thought it was a joke until I researched the story. It seems that over 10 years ago, she did indeed make a morning snack from grilled cheese, including an initial bite, when she noticed the blessed mother beatifically smiling from the top of the toast. The blessed cheese sandwich was placed in a plastic container where it reportedly has never spoiled.

And if you're skeptical about whether or not the sandwich has been touched by the mother of Jesus, consider that the arterey clogging snack fetched the Florida couple $28K on an EBay auction, plus another 6 thousand for the frying pan it done got fried up in. Touched enough by god's family that the woman saw fit to have the holy sandwich tattooed on her right titty. Amen!
