Jesus Off the Cross

I don't know if I've mentioned this, but Fred is a pastor. (I myself am not a religious person.)

I am a tad bit obsessive about cleaning. The house is usually a mess, because no one else around here cares, but I organize constantly in the quest for a perfection that never comes. Today I cleaned out a drawer that had some old stuff of Fred's in it.

One of the things in the drawer was a small wooden carving of Jesus. There was a wooden cross next to it; the two apparently went together. So I went to ask Fred if he still wanted this thing.

He said, "Well, it's in the drawer because Jesus fell off the cross and I just hated to nail him back on."
