What's it mean when all the yogurt in your fridge expires on your birthday?

August 16, 2007

There’s a Bible Church being built along my route to work. There’s a big sign that proves it: “Future site of Bible Church” it says, roughly. And each day I drive past this sign, and the slowly growing building that it announces, and I wonder, “What is a Bible Church, anyway?”

Don’t all churches have bibles? Isn’t some sort of bible-like document the center of most religions in the world? Isn’t naming your establishment “Bible Church” kind of like naming your snack food “Yummy Chips”? I assume they will be yummy, they are chips, that’s what chips are.

During the same route, I cross a bridge that until recently was having it’s bearings replaced. I’m no engineer, so I don’t know what that means either. Does the bridge not know where it is? Do people, upon entering the bridge, lose their sense of direction? I assumed since I made it to work each day that it was the bridge that had forgotten where it was going, and required some re-education as to it’s purpose on this road.

Pass the yummy chips.
