Jeff, oh ye...I'm happy I made you laugh Gilly!<br /><br />Jeff, oh yeah, there are plenty of Baptist churches with black people in Virginia. But in Jersey, where I was from, the white people went to the Catholic churches and the black people went to the Baptist churches. So I grew up thinking Baptist churches were for black people. Then I moved down here and learned Baptist churches are for white people too!

I'll bet there is a Baptist church with Black people tucked away somewhere around there. A garage sale friend of mine always said that you should never go to garage sales in areas of modest incomes - the only garage sales to go to are in the areas where the rich people live.Jeffhttp://turningpoints.iomaire.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1779328319254618990.post-55810523514322563222011-03-17T11:18:30.960-04:002011-03-17T11:18:30.960-04:00I certainly enjoyed it - haven't stopped laugh...I certainly enjoyed it - haven't stopped laughing!

They should take them down to the shelter to see "the joy of death." Good one.<br /><br />And I agree with you about the heads. Creepy when you think about it. HEADS on the wall!
