Funny, but fact or fiction?
I received this in an e-mail forward the other day, and I just about fell off of my chair laughing, so I thought I'd pass it along. It sounds like the work of a creative writer (What is EAP, anyway? Not a wire service I've ever heard of, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist), but with some religious nuts, you could see it happening. The story's funny, but not too unrealistic.
Anyway, read and enjoy. If it is the work of a creative writer, well done - I always appreciate a good joke. Yes, a woman was killed, and that's not funny, but man, what a way to go, or should I say, what a reason to go, and I'm not referring to Jesus here. Read on...
Arkansas Woman Killed in Mistaken Rapture
ARKANSAS CITY (EAP) -- A Little Rock woman was killed yesterday after leaping through her moving car's sunroof during an incident best described as a "mistaken rapture" by dozens of eyewitnesses.
Thirteen other people were injured after a twenty-car pile-up resulted from people trying to avoid hitting the woman, who was apparently convinced the rapture was occurring when she saw twelve people floating up into the air, and then passed a man on the side of the road who she believed was Jesus.
"She started screaming 'He's back! He's back!' and climbed out through the sunroof and jumped off the roof of the car," said Everet Williams, husband of 28-year-old Georgann Williams, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
"I was slowing down but she wouldn't wait 'til I stopped," Williams said. She thought the rapture was happening and was convinced that Jesus was gonna lift her up into the sky," he went on to say.
"This is the strangest thing I've seen since I've been on the force," said Paul Madison, first officer on the scene.
Madison questioned the man who looked like Jesus and discovered that he was on his way to a toga costume party, when the tarp covering the bed of his pickup truck came loose and released twelve blow-up sex dolls filled with helium, which then floated up into the sky.
Ernie Jenkins, 32, of Fort Smith, who's been told by several of his friends that he looks like Jesus, pulled over and lifted his arms into the air in frustration and said "Come back," just as the Williams' car passed him, and Mrs. Williams was sure that it was Jesus lifting people up into heaven as they drove by him.
"I think my wife loved Jesus more than she loved me," the widower said when asked why his wife would do such a thing.
When asked for comments about the twelve sex dolls, Jenkins replied, "This is all just too weird for me. I never expected anything like this to happen."
