In what can only be described as an uncanny parallel to the biblical recount of Jesus Christ’s death, local man Brent Yardy has been crucified by his cross missus today – not even 1985 years after a eerily similar experience was handed to the son of God.
Brent claims his girlfriend, Bess, became hostile over the fact that he had opened a can of beer at 11:00 am.
“She was really flogging me,”
“I mean, Jesus! It’s only one”
Many onlookers at the Yardy family gathering have sat in shock while the 33-year-old was put on the cross.
“It’s Good Friday, Brent! Where’d you even get that. All the Bottle-O’s are closed!”
The lashings continued in front of indifferent members of the family, until finally Brent’s father intervened with a drink of his own.
“I’m with Brent on this one, it’s never too early. Who’s up for a rum?”
Brent turned his head slowly to his loving Dad.
“Father, into your hands I commit my spirit”
After a few too many rums, Brent was then put to rest in his man cave where he is expected to remain for three days.
