Were Adam and Eve Really Naked?
Inspiration with Rev. Phil Pharisee
“These things are so because I say they are so.” – St. Roscoe of Orange
The question is often asked: Were Adam and Eve really naked in the Garden of Eden? Were they unclothed when the serpent arrived? According to the recently revamped Rich Man’s Bible, especially written for the wealthy among our congregation “nudity was not acceptable even though Eve was created from one of Adam’s ribs”. Certainly the two first humans were not naked like the apes but were rather clothed in the vestments of the guiding light. When the serpent showed up it was Eve who took the apple all right but she did it in a tasteful, and demure, picnic dress. Later when Adam joined the show he ate his half of the apple fully covered in a formal waistcoat and spats, just like the ones worn on Sundays by Brother Phil here.
Persons who disagree with this prognosis are guilty of the grave sin of pride and will surely burn in hell. The only way to prevent this eternal damnation is to give now. Give big. Purge yourself by ridding your life of valuables and other false gods. You can keep the hard currency in our church safe over at the strip mall.
When we meet on that Golden Shore all of this will become clear. Right now we must persevere in that the secular element out there is attempting to separate church and state at the hip. And always, always remember as Dr Zeus said: Red State, blue state, new state, pew state…People in the blue states are atheistic Commies who don’t belong in our America, the America under God, who talks directly to You Know Who every night before bed.
Well, I hope I’ve cleared up the confusion. Keep the faith by joining me in today’s mantra: Creationists are proof that there is no evolution going on. Creationists are proof that there…”

Complimentary Edibles at Local Bank Riles Feds
Who’s On First National Bank is giving away loaded lollypops, cannabis cookies and gummy bears on Fridays despite complaints from the federal gov’ment and other fiscal monitoring on the part of Colorado.
The idea to expand the selection of a traditional fare has been a huge success according to loan officers, tellers and customers who say they often accumulate reasons for going into the lobby on Friday.
“Sometimes I deposit a dollar or two or withdraw money for the weekend,” said Larry Winde, of Deep Mesa. “I used to visit any old time but now I always wait until Friday to conduct my banking business.”
Tellers, who perhaps have the most direct contact with account holders, say they see happy, mellow customers whose sense of well-being begins when they hit the door.
“They rarely complain,” smiled one bank employee. “Many take longer than usual to fill out simple forms or linger in the shade of their safety deposit box,” quipped Salli Reign, who has worked at the bank for 40 years.
“Everyone is having a ball, FDIC and all,” she added, although people often forget to sign documents and have a habit of leaving personal items behind.”

Tyrannosaurus Jim Bob Terrorizes Elk Avenue
Caught Between Japanese Horror Films and the Nightmare of Bud Lite Commercials
2020 Continues to Provide Surprises for Crested Butte
(Crested Butte) A monster the size of a mammoth trophy home continues to prowl Elk Avenue this morning, frightening shoppers and disrupting the cosmic flow. Dubbed Tyrannosaurus Jim Bob by local jokesters the lizard-hipped intruder resembles the much-feared carnivore Tyrannosaurus Rex, from bygone days.
Local lizard experts say the monster probably emerged from Lost Lake because that sounds about right and matches up with the Jurassic cross-references “as well as anything else” . Other scientists, on the scene since the dinosaur’s arrival on Monday, say he might have crawled out from local sewers or even from under the melted snow. They blamed residents who often bring back baby lizards as pets from Florida then flush them down the toilet after a few weeks. Either way, the monster is here and everyone wants him out.
When asked why anyone would keep a baby alligator around town for even two weeks the source said she did not know.
“Keep in mind, we’re dealing with a creature with a brain the size of a walnut,” said one deputy sheriff, “and I’m not talking about a government official here. All the years of Free Ski
The giant lizard that has created panic in this normally tranquil burgh has been blamed for the disappearance of countless deer and elk but may have tempered the town’s growing bear problem.
didn’t prepare my department for this kind of duty.”
“What are we going to do if he’s still lurking by Christmas?” asked one parade organizer. “We’ve tried to lure him over Kebler with prehistoric treats. We’ve tried to have him towed away. We’ve even subjected him to hours of The Tamburinda Trio*, but he’s still here.”
In just three days Jim Bob has overshadowed both the World’s Largest Elk and even Princess Vail herself. If the pace continues he will emerge as far more notable than both Pike’s Peak and the Garden of the Clods near the holy city of Colorado Springs.
He’s right up there with the Denver Broncos,” said one stool jockey.
Denver TV news professionals, who at first called the entire episode a hoax, were eaten for breakfast (SUVs an all) by Jim Bob earlier today much to the chagrin of proprietor of Soupcon, who had laid out a substantial brunch for the giant lizard.
“We had a massive feast prepared for the ungrateful freak up Washington Gulch,” according to a spokesman for the eatery. “But I guess when a dinosaur is hungry for fresh meat he will not be denied.”
Already many summer events in the town appear in jeopardy. One source with the Crested Butte Arts Festival has announced plans to combine that event with a quickstep Crested Butte Dinosaur Days celebration featuring Brontosaurus on a stick and the traditional Pterodactyl pie.
“We may have to move our arts and crafts booths over to Sopris or Maroon if he continues his preference for Elk,” she said. “His tail alone could create havoc with our electrical hook-ups and that says nothing of the pooper scooper dilemma.”
Local biologists insist that Jim Bob is simply in town searching for a suitable mate and that if he finds one he will return to the wilderness. Teams are scouring the Petrified Tourist Arches and the Edith Bunker National Forest for signs of a female Tyrannosaurus. So far they have had no luck although one local lady has offered to meet Jim Bob for a drink.
The situation has gone from bad to worse. Just last night Jim Bob was observed attempting to seduce a 65-foot RV over on Teocalli. After about an hour of suggestive traversing, the thing tipped over, instantly ending the romance and terrifying the inmates, an elderly couple from Kansas.
Architectural watchdog, BOZO, has filed a lien on the reptile saying that Jim Bob fails to adhere to building specifications. Authorities, beside themselves over the incident, hope that the dinosaur could get caught up in red tape and thus be forced to comply with the town’s many ordinances.
“Either that or we appeal to his sense of good taste and historical precedence,” said one officer.
Biologists at the Rocky Mountain Flowers and Marmots Laboratory at Gothic insist that the giant lizard is on a mission. They feel it has something to due with the dinosaur soup bones unearthed from a vacant lot adjacent to the Talk of the Town Tavern on Elk.
Most of the region’s cool heads concluded that the animal must be trapped and be sentenced to ten days in the Gunnison Jail plus 40 hours of public service. No time or date has been set for compliance deadlines and the serving of warrants. Just exactly how the who and where cards will be played is still up in the air.

Tiny Spouses Trending into 2021
(Smallville, CO) The popularity of Tiny Spouses comes as a shock wave to the more traditional courting and marriage choices. According to the experts it’s an option whose time has arrived.
Maybe its overpopulation and loss of personal space or maybe it’s just an expedient alternative. Whatever it may be, it’s compact and packs a wallop at the altar or before a justice of the peace.
According to the latest poll conducted by Cal Polygamy Institute, the embrace of the diminutive is on the rise. A growing conviction to see smaller as better has become an overwhelming tendency, especially in affluent circles. Since 2018, tiny spouses, shunned just 10 years ago, are becoming the new norm.
The odd popularity of these arrangements can be circumstance, convenience an even economic since smaller people eat less and take up less room in the bed. Mobility is also a consideration and tiny spouses can be ready to go at the drop of a hat.
“Compact works for both of us,” said Eleanor Mackerel, who with her two-foot mate enjoys a progressive lifestyle. “My only issue is that he’s hard to find if the grass gets too deep.”
Positive attention has burgeoned in tight urban regions and the low-density backwoods too.
“People can survive quite well on limited space and with limited input,” continued Mackerel. “The rest we blame on true love.”

HUNTERS TAKE 7,000-POUND ELK
(California Mesa) Texas hunters today nailed what is probably the largest bull elk ever seen around these parts. Weighing in at just over 7,000 pounds the wapiti charged right into the record books outpacing all former competitors. His status as deceased will not create a negative impact on the accolade.
Biologists circulating the region suggest that the giant elk may have wandered over the plateau from the Twin Cities (Nucla and Naturita) after feasting on tailings from uranium days.
“Sometimes exposure to radium has adverse effects on wildlife, as well as humans, said one biologist. “Those boys (the hunters) won’t be hungry for a long time.”
It was later learned that the hunters would keep the trophy rack and donate the meat to an open carry cafe.
