anthony in salt lake city, utah was a little perplexed when the new lady sharing his cubicle put this little number up. odder still, he says, “is the fact that this particular wall was originally my half — she took everything i had on that end and moved it to the other side.”
says anthony: “apparently she thinks i’m going to poke the messiah’s high school yearbook picture all day — or maybe the note is what he’s thinking?”

Keep your beliefs to yourself and move it to your side of the cubicle, control freak.

This is when Anthony puts up a picture of FSM with the same note.
I would.

Is there another “do not touch” notice at the bottom of the picture? Or is it attached to another picture? Regardless, a woman who thinks her cubicle-mate is going to pilfer her wall-hangings needs to pop a Xanax.

That’s totally, like, the official Mormon picture of Jesus. Ah, takes me back to my childhood, it does.

Our Saviour appears to be sternly saddened over being used as a PA bludgeon. Is this what He meant about the meek inheriting the earth?

Wait. Is that a black cat Halloween decoration hanging in front of Jesus? Nothing like covering all the bases.

When I touch Jesus, I think of myself.

What, rubbing Jesus’ pictures over my naked body won’t get me closer to the Lord?

Why would anyone hang a picture of James Caviezel in their cubicle? Christ almighty, that’s just weird.

Is that one of those pictures that the eyes seem to follow you? No matter how I turn my laptop, Jesus is looking right at me. Just me?

wow. apparently my last comment got flagged. lol. probably rightfully so. i guess this post just hit a cord with me.
maybe that post will be approved, but in rated-g context, i basically said that she should keep that to herself because by posting it, she is basically making a statement that her beliefs are more important than his. total disregard that this could be offensive (just as wiccan or satanic symbols might be to her—anthony, that would be a great passive-agressive response) to him. she has no idea whether his ancestors were prosecuted by christians, nor, obviously, does she seem care.
*edit* my post was approved lol

what are the signs to the left and below it? I see an exclamation mark and something like “DO NOT REMOVE FROM THIS WALL.” I really want to see what the rest of this cubicle looks like!!!

Suggested response:
• put up a sculpture of an erect penis on your half of the cubicle
• pin a note to the very tip of the penis that reads:
Be respectful of my beliefs. Please Touch!!!!!!!

Don’t touch that Jesus guy. He’s been hanging around with lepers, and you don’t want to get all of that all over you.

I’m still not quite sure how Jesus, who lived in the Middle East, looks like he came from Helsinki.
Given that he was Jewish, can’t you at least give him that Jew ‘fro - aka an Isro?

Someone else noted that it looks like there’s a black cat decoration near Jesus. I’m concerned that Jesus is awfully close to that cat’s butt. Please don’t put Jesus near the cat butt, he’s suffered enough.

I didn’t realize it before, but her Christian beliefs align perfectly with Human Resources’– Don’t touch.
