The Gospel According to Ross


Chapter 1.

1: Jesus was a pretty cool dude. You could swear a bit around him because he didn't mind the whole "God", "Jesus", "Christ" thing.

2: The "F" word was right out. Something about virginity.

3: Hence, verily, "F..king Jesus Christ All F..king Mighty" was kept out of ear reach.

4: He was a good surfer.

Chapter 2.

1: Sorry that chapter one was so short - I witnessed a miracle.

2: Jesus performed the pot thing (in this case "turning buffalo grass into hooch").

3: And went surfing, yeah verily.

4: There were good left-handers at Galilea and the Lord needed no board.

5: He simply walked out and Birkenstocked it in (goofy-sandalled).

6: I couldn't resist the swell, dude.

7: And I went surfing, yeah verily.

Chapter 3.

1: So we did surf.

2: I did not cut-in on The Son of Man because I think there's something in the other book about it.

3: We rode it to the beach, though The Lord birkenstocked it up the reef better than my board.

4: I got a ding.

5: I returned to my towel to have a go at the trumpet I had made from the Holy Hooch.

6: Jesus was disinterested and went over to the point where he made little things into big things.

7: Big things some times, quirkingly, he shrunk significantly.

8: He mumbled something like "Stop making reefers out of the Gideon's".

9: I found this uncharacteristic.

Chapter 4.

1: I got pretty wasted and Jesus worked on that fish roll trick.

2: No seaweed in sight.

3: Blessed are the fish fingers.

Chapter 5.

1: We went on this boat one day and it was really, like, pumping.

2: Jesus shut it down but we got heaps of fish.

3: Some weird apostle thought the nets would break but they held up.

4. We considered going to the local casino but Jesus caused quite a stir last time.

5. Blessed are the brim.

Chapter 6.

1: It became obvious that we were treading on the righteous toes of the local fish and chip shops.

2: Yeah verily, it got a bit heavy.

3: We had a grouse nosh up - some dude even painted us.

4: Then these nasties took him away and nailed him up!

5: He used that resurrection thing, though, and we never saw him again.

6: Still some fish left.

7: So it is written.
