Welcome to Dan's Diner at the Surreal County Fair. Today we are offering standard fair fovorites. We feature hot dog on a stick, corn dog on a stick, corn on the cob on a stick, and man on a stick.
Man on a stick?
Today I took the boys to the supermarket to get taco fixings. We went down the Mexican food aisle, where they also have the Catholic candles. Dan saw them and asked me, "Why is there a man on a stick on that candle?"
We have apparently never mentioned Jesus Christ to him in any manner. He had no idea that Christmas was about Christ. I should mention that although he does not attend mass, my husband was raised Catholic. He doesn't want me to teach the kids about Wicca, but he has neglected to teach them about Christianity.
I am still entirely too amused by the phrase, "Man on a stick." Of course I've always been somewhat sacreligious, but I keep saying it and giggling.
EDIT:

I see this possibly followed up with Ginzu Man On a Stick - cuts a sofa in half, yet still slices this tomato as thin as paper. Or Chia Man On a Stick.
