Because nobody expected
Jesus to rise again on the
third day and ascend into
Heaven, the deciple's had
to find a plausible story
for the brethren who stood
vigil by the tomb where the
Roman soldiers interred him
behind a huge boulder that
was placed at the entrance
as a permanent seal.

There was a young Arab lad
from Damascus who spoke
no Latin, but he heard the
centurions saying that they
would need a good Alibi in
the event that Herod was in
any way seen culpable for
the crucifixion.

He went up to the site office
where they were recruiting
extras for a crowd scene near
Calvary where the two sinners
were still on the crosses.

"Next Please"
" Allah Boy ".

Immediately they signed him
up and gave him a leading role
in the up coming event of which
they as yet had no idea what it
was, only some had rumoured that
Jesus was an escape artist.

Easter Monday came and as we all
know, the stone moved away from
the cave entrance and Jesus rose into
heaven to sit at the right hand side
of God.

That left a huge void locally and
this is how the local rag heads got
their own spiritual leader just as
the young Dalai Lama.

Allah Boy grew up and they no
longer used the boy prefix but as
he was a teetotaller they decided
to hack all the local bars and that
is how he became Allah Akbar .


ps.

Alibi = Latin means elsewhere.
