KangTheMad: Ok, that would creep me out enough to make me leave too. Just what I was thinking. Florida, you never fail to amuse. |

The jewelry show was at this lady's house. |

| Farce-Side The Beatings Will Continue Until Morale Improves: If you chant "sausage" and record it, play it backward it sounds like you are chanting "Jesus". Are you that guy from the Da Vinci Code? I think you've just unlocked one of the biggest secrets of the Vatican. |

A group of ladies in Lake City Partied for jewelry pretty A man with a gun Tried ruining the fun Said Jesus, "That's a bit shiatty" /This or course assumes he answered the call and chased the intruder away |

Is that like the Indian bus-rape victim, who apparently could have stopped the whole thing by holding the guy's hand and calling him "brother" or saying "Allah" or something? |

Is this an exorcist joke? I thought the priest in that movie was Father Merrin. |

1. At least he got to keep his family jewels. 2. In a Hindu country, would they start with Shiva, Ganesh or Krishna, and how long would the chant take. 3. People will fall in love with that story in the lockup. //got nothing |

I think that if I tried to rob people and discovered they were mentally retarded, I'd have a crisis of conscience too. |

People often suggest that a particular state deserves a tag like Florida has. I suggest a second website "FLArk". |

"I have forgiven him and prayed for his salvation," said Hagler. "I'm hoping this situation has led him to trust the lord and turn his life around." I'm all about people turning their life around and even genuinely accept Christ BUT I failed to see how the specifics of this incident would necessarily make the person do that. Serving the soup kitchen sure... donating to charity.. yup, helping strangers.. definitely... genuinely forgiving and loving someone who had caused you harm.. definitely, BUT reporting someone to the cops and sending him to jail (while the right thing to do).. I don't think the perp would think that as a nice gesture and a catalyst to commit his life to Christ.! |

That's right up there with robbers being foiled by store clerks telling them they'll have to wait in line. Education and intelligence are not common among violent criminals. |

Ah good. The ol' "Criminals are a superstitious, cowardly lot" tactic. Batman would be proud... If only he hadn't died saving Gotham from that nuclear bomb. :( |

If only he hadn't died saving Gotham from that nuclear bomb. :( Yea, that was a sad ending. Tony stark died the same way. So did Will smith in Independence day. Hollywood really needs to stop with these downer endings. /I find its much its so much easier to get out of the theater if you leave before the rush. |

I am sure they were sincere but this would actually suffice as an effective passive-aggressive method of robbery determent. While not directly threatening doing the whole Jesus bit would certainly convey the impression that the robbery will not go as smoothly as planned and stall for time. Or you could just get shot because the dude is not in the mood for nonsense. Anyways I will give it a shot at next mugging. |

Millennium: [upload.wikimedia.org image 307x410] Unavailable for comment. /obscure? A burglar broke into a house one night. He shone his flashlight around, looking for valuables; and when he picked up a CD player to place in his sack, a strange, disembodied voice echoed from the dark saying, "Jesus is watching you." He nearly jumped out of his skin, clicked his flashlight off, and froze. When he heard nothing more after a bit, he shook his head, promised himself a vacation after the next big score, then clicked the light on and began searching for more valuables. Just as he pulled the stereo out so he could disconnect the wires, clear as a bell he heard, "Jesus is watching you." Freaked out, he shone his light around frantically, looking for the source of the voice. Finally, in the corner of the room, his flashlight beam came to rest on a parrot perked on the top of a cage. "Did you say that?", he hissed at the parrot. "Yep," the parrot confessed, then continued, "I'm just trying to warn you." The burglar relaxed. "Warn me, huh? Who in the world are you?" "Moses," replied the bird. "Moses?"-the burglar laughed. "What kind of weirdo would name a bird Moses?" "The kind of weirdo that would name a Rottweiler, Jesus," loudly squawked the parrot. |

If Jesus has taught us anything, it's to hang on to our petty possessions no matter the apparent risk. |

Chanting "satan" or "Cthulhu" would also work |

Imagine what would have happened if the ladies all reached into their purses and pulled out Glocks and then started chanting, "Jesus in the name of everything Holy make my aim true." BTW - That area of Florida is very Baptist and "Church Minded". It is actually a very nice part of "Old Florida" |
