From the New Blemish Daily Morning Movement,

Mr. Wilfred T. Flense, a prominent member of the New Blemish branch of The Tea Party, and a lead tenor in the Evangelicals of America Chorus, told this reporter yesterday that the baby Jesus had appeared to him in his Swiss melt.

“I was havin’ my lunch over at Phil and Darla’s Hits ‘n Runs Diner, and that cute little Laura Sue brought me my sandwich – I like it that they do it real well done there – So anyway, I picked it up to take a bite an’ Lord-a-Mighty – there He was…the baby Jesus.

I swear on all that’s sacred He was snuggled in there between the two slices of toasted bread looking at me all sweet and everything”, an’ He asked me to come closer, so I leaned in real close like…and, in this real, real soft voice, the baby Jesus told me to tell everyone that they should get out and vote for either Mitt Romney or Newt Gingrich. It was a real genuine miracle, only thing is, I had to wait until He had toddled off before I was able to eat any of my sandwich – which I was craving.” Mr. Flense, 63, who his close friends call WTF, is married to the very lovely Edna Flense of Flense’s Exciting Doilies.

Previously, some 3 months after President Obama was sworn in, Mrs. Flense had reported to this paper that a vision of Dick Cheney had come to her while she was under the hair dryer at Mlle. Sharlene’s Maison de Beaut. Mr. Cheney, she said, had whispered to her that he had “very little respect for any of these elitist east coast tree hugging Liberal elitist intellectuals who have ruined our country, fouled our environment, and caused all this economic trouble we are now in.” She said he told her, also in a “real, real soft voice,” that “if it wasn’t for these Progressives we’d never have invaded Iraq…but it was all their noisy unpatriotic protesting that made it necessary.”

Phil and Darla’s Hits ‘n Runs Diner have since added the New and Improved Velveeta to the Swiss, and are now calling the sandwich, which has become their most popular menu item, Sweet Cheeses.

  1. I tried to purchase the Hit’s and Runs Diner after this miraculous occurrence; which I seem to remember from some time ago as well -grin-.
    Those damned Tea Party owners wouldn’t sell. Something about Jews-already-owing-the-media so they’ll take my sandwiches, for the love of sweet cheeses, from my cold dead unsanitized fingers.

    I tried. Really. I tried.

    • Dear Mrs. Goldbergsteinowitz-Black, we New Blemishites have always prided ourselves on our progressive views. Currently, the Hits and Runs diner employs their very own Jew lawyer and Jew accountant. They advised Darla against this sale. We of the New Blemish Town Council are always open to all those of the Hebe – or Ethiopian – persuasion. Thank You, Alderman B.R.B.(Billy Rae Bob)Jukes.

  2. Hits and Runs!!!!

    This was a great spoof on something that already seems like a story only The Onion could devise. It’s a bonus that you have a photo of my favorite lunch as a kid.

  12. This is a hoax perpetrated by the elitist left-wing anti-bacon forces. I hope this backfires and the world is brought under the twin leadership of Newtie Patootie and Oscar Meyer.

    Imagine, Jesus appearing in a baconless sandwich. I’ve never heard the like…

  14. Ha! I love your Sweet Cheeses & Hits ‘n Runs – you’re so funny, Tony. 🙂

    I’ve heard of these visions all over the world. There was one totally ridiculous one after an earthquake some part of the world & someone truly believed that the big hole caused in their back yard showed, in a rock face, the Lord’s impression Himself. It’s just extreme. I’m sure I could shit in the toilet & see Jesus, if I stood contemplating it long enough… maybe give it a poke with the toilet brush… and maybe tear a few bits of toilet paper & let them fall strategically. Positive. In fact I might give it a go, upload a pic.

    Watch this space.

  15. Of course I’m spitting Fresca on the keyboard. Tony, one of these days you’ll get a bill.
    Too fucking funny. Now that Santorum is gone we actually have to contend with WTF, Romney and Velveeta. All of the previously mentioned fitting nicely on their own sammich.

    Wonderful satire doll. My only question…. what the hell are you doing up at this hour? Wait. Never mind. Praise the Lord and Pass the Sweet Cheeses
