In 9th grade English, David and I got in trouble for submitting work that was in poor taste. The assigment was to pick a song or poem and write a parody of it. Looking back, it seems like she was setting her self up, giving this assigment to 14 year old boys. I parodied "Riders on the Storm," changing it to "Boogers in my Nose." Sheer genius, I know. Anyhow, we both had to do ours over. And Mark, whose parody was full of sexual innuendos, received an A+. Apparently the problem was not poor taste but sophistication.
I share this story because if you happened to visit the Tropic of Food yesterday in the evening hours, you may have been graced by a similarly crude and tasteless lampoon. My humor has evidently failed to evolve since 9th grade. I apologize for anyone I may have offended.
I will add, however, that maybe the title in the drawings should read "With you always, except, of course, when you are needing your privacy, during which time I am with you in spirit, but not right up in your business, so to speak ... or maybe I'm just like hangin' out right outside the door."

I can die happy now.
Jesus seems to like folks in pretty narrowly defined gender roles. But note that he does not seem to be hanging out with any lawyers....
