She's hitting him over the head with a bible An operations manager for Jack in the Box in Dallas was late for a meeting and called his boss to tell him he was running behind schedule. As he was leaving the voice mail message, he witnessed an accident and went on to provide "play by play" of the incident, including a man being beat over the head with a bible. Enjoy.

  • Physically or metaphorically? hey, bibles are typically both heavy and well constructed, plus the leather covers are easy to grip, which helps prevent accidentally throwing them. There are worse things you could hit someone with - apple core (small, slippery), empty soda can (sticky, easy to crush if you're of Blutarskian constitution), bic pen (converts from bludgeon to dagger FAR too easily), open hand (candyass), sawn-off piece of baseball bat (technically "assault with intent to do bodily harm," a class 3 misdemeanor)...

  • SideDish, you probably saw it on Mefi a little while back. Not saying anything, just pointing it out.
  • Sounds fake to me. In particular, the "he's got a white shirt on with a tie and a cigarette hanging out of his mouth" sounds like it was stuck in to try to make things sound more realistic. If you had just witnessed a car accident, would that be how you'd start off your description?
  • could be, alnedra, or floating around in email... hmmm. i don't read the blue nearly as much as i used to.
  • Christ is it 2003 again?
  • Cup of coffee, Chy? :)
  • Um, yeah ok.
  • How about I smoke a really big bowl of marijuana, have a piss, then have a cup of coffee?
  • Bible-bashing redefined?
  • Stop him now before he jokes again.
