I Found Abraham Lincoln In My Tomatoes

By Stan Grimes
Nov. 21, 2004

The news is old for everyone I’m sure, but it never hurts to toss around used information. The woman selling her grilled cheese sandwich (with the image of the Mother Mary) on E-bay is going to be rolling in the dough. I’ve heard that the bidding is in the thousands. Also, trying to ride the wave of this phenomena are the merchants out there selling grilled cheese memorabilia, eg, T-shirts and key chains. It proves to me that humankind will do anything in the name of delusional thinking.

Tell me how does she know it’s the Virgin Mary? She claims, I understand, that she just has a gut feeling that it’s the Virgin Mary because the sandwich hasn’t spoiled over the past ten years. She apparently doesn’t understand the shelf life of Cheez Whiz. That stuff will remain soft for centuries to come. I’m surprised they have found a way to make tires out of it.

Does anyone really know what the main Virgin looks like? Has anyone seen her (besides on a grilled cheese sandwich)? I know there are statues of her, an icon in every good Catholic home, but who has actually seen her?

Last night I saw a picture of Abraham Lincoln in my stewed tomatoes. He had a copy of "Mad Magazine" in his hand. I’m heading for E-bay right now. I’ll let you know how much I sell it for. Or, if any of you would prefer the “buy now” selection, I’ll give it to you for eight grand. Just send me your zip code so I can figure shipping costs. Have a nice day.
