SITTING down for an after lunch snack turned into a brush with all things Holy when Lisa Swinton saw the face of Jesus in her banana peel.

''I was like 'Oh my God! It's Jesus on a banana!''

''I got it out of the fruit bowl and was about to peel it and eat it when I saw his face,'' she said.

Actually... I see "Wilson", Tom Hanks volley ball "friend" in Castaway. A little thinner version on the holy banana, but still.

Uh oh... I just opened the door on gutter humor with that "holy banana" comment, but I'll control myself.

‘‘One of my friends said they saw the Holy Mother on their bathroom door and another saw an apparition of Mary on the mould of their shower floor,’’ she said.

Honestly thought this was satirical, until I clicked on it and saw the pic. I never eat the bananas with Jesus's face on them. Am respectful. When Mary shows up in the batharoom, I know it's time to clean.

The banana looks old and nasty. Why would anybody want to eat a brown banana whether it had a face on it or not?

    I made that today. I had 3 bananas. One looked like Huey Lewis, one looked like Grover Cleveland and one looked like Kathy Lee Gifford.

    I missed Easter Services. I think that's why.

    For crying out loud! Enough with seeing the images of Jesus or Mary on food items! No one knows what Jesus (or Mary) looked like anyway. It looks more like a monkey than a human.

    Do you know how easy it is to put things on food to make your 15 minutes of fame memorable?

    Only extremist fruitcakes would play this game of thinking it is the truth.

    He certainly didn't look like a hair farmer from an 80's metal band.... and THIS is the worst face of jesus in food example I've seen so far. SOME of them could look like a face... but this is quite off.

    I could do that on a piece of toast, on an iron, on any material..

    On an iron.. take a picture of Jesus.. put a sticky substance all around the outline.. for one or two seconds.. put your iron to it.. let it burn on..

    There is something about this that reminds me of my brother-in-law's funeral (Tom). My brother-in-law was African American, he lived in Chicago with my sister and I loved him very much. I had never been to an African American funeral and I was crying, very upset but then the preacher started going on and the organ player went with him, the preacher would say something and the organ would concur along with the congregation, some of the agreements were very happy. The preacher was sort of like a comedian and then he got me, he built the thing up to a point where he said, "you have one foot in the grave and one foot on a banana peel and you haven't accepted Jesus yet," the organ growled and the congregation concurred. Deep inside me I felt a laugh like I used to have with Tom and I fought it, I thought you can't laugh here, this is a funeral, you have to sit here in your misery but I had to fight so hard that I forgot about my misery and I just figured that African Americans had a better idea about funerals than I did. I am an agnostic but that is by far the closest I have ever been to Jesus. Jesus lives in Tom and that Banana peel that we are all standing on.

    Sorry to hear about the loss

    When my brother died - we Celebrated his time here.. he was buried with his favorite pool cue, a pair of dice, some play money, a family picture, a fake key to a porche he liked, and a few other mementos..

    When I go ... when someone kneels before me.. I want to be able to sit up and turn towards the kneeler and then a recording will say - Do I look natural? Do I look like myself? Then lie back down...
