Happy Zombie Jesus Day!

When I was a Catholic schoolboy back in Chicago, my run-ins with the nuns were a regular occurrence.
Once, I was asked what I was giving up for Lent. My reply?
“Religion”. The nun called my Mom.
“There’s only one thing they’re not making any more of – land. And one thing that we’ll never run out of – death. Combine the two and you’ve got the whole thing covered.”
From his 1964 TV Today review of “Death Valley Days” as collected in “The Layman’s guide To Perspicacity” by Delman Mangrove
